THE VINE


Text :  John 15:1 

 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

The husbandman, God the Father has planted Jesus as the Vine in our world that many branches might be released through Him for the purpose  of fruit bearing. John 15:2.

The Vine is planted and nurtured by the Father. The location where the  Vine is planted is solely determined by the Father. The Vine can of his own, do nothing. If the Vine can of  his own do nothing, so also the branch. You must totally depend on Jesus for the supply of all your strength and wisdom. Jesus said verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.John  5:19.

As a branch in the Vine, all that is expected of you is to uninterruptedly draw nutrient from the vine. If you allow anything come in between you and the Vine, you will not be able to draw full vitality and as a result, your fruit- bearing capacity will be impaired. No believer can come into her full God ordained potential without abiding in the Vine. Just as the branch is the same component and material with the vine, so also you are with Christ.  You are the same with Christ. Therefore, it is expected that you exhumed the very life as seen  in Christ Jesus while on earth. 
 _....  because as he is, so are we in this world_ .1 John  4:17  
 
To have the  experiential grasp of the promised eternal life and to lead a  fruitful and glorifying life, you must be one who  abides. You must abide and remain in Christ. 


Bible Reading : John 15: 1-17.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
