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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
