1. I am the true VINE, and my Father is the HUSBANDMAN.
2. Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he PURGES it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3. Now ye are CLEAN through the WORD which I have spoken unto you.
4. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch CANNOT bear fruit of itself, except it ABIDE in the Vine; no more can you, except you abide in me.
5. I am the Vine, you are the BRANCHES: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for WITHOUT me you can do nothing.
6. If a man abide NOT in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7. If ye abide IN me, and my WORDS abide IN you, ye shall ASK what you will, and it shall be DONE unto you.
8. Herein is my Father GLORIFIED, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples. (John 15:1-8).
From the above scriptural passage, JESUS CHRIST using a vine tree as an illustration made us to understand that:
1. He is the VINE TREE itself that gives life to the branches.
2. We in Him (Christ) are the Vine tree's BRANCHES.
3. His (our) Father is the HUSBANDMAN that owns and manages the Vine tree.
What a good and great privilege to be under the LOVE and CARE of the Owner of Heaven and Earth! (1 Peter 5:6,7).
But, I am sent to you today who is genuinely in Christ (Vine tree) to remind you that:
1. If you truly desire to experience a peaceful, PROSPEROUS and glorious 2018, you as a divine BRANCH in the Vine tree (Christ) must consciously and consistently ABIDE in the Vine tree (Christ) by allowing His written and spoken WORD abide in you.
That is, you must consciously and consistently study the Word of God until the Words of Christ dwells RICHLY in you in all wisdom. True! (2 Timothy 2:15; Colossians 3:16,17).
Jesus Christ revealed that it is ONLY when you abide in Him by His Word abiding in you that you can bear fruit and your request will be answered. True!
Take note, take heed!
2. If you truly desire to experience a peaceful, PROSPEROUS and glorious 2018, you as a divine BRANCH in the Vine tree (Christ) must consciously and consistently BEAR fruit, so that you will be PURGED(clean) more and more by the Word of God by our Husbandman (God the Father) to bear more fruit.
This means that if you truly want more revelation of GOD and renewing (cleansing) of your spirit, soul (mind) and body through His WORD, you have to LEARN how to use what you have KNOW in Christ to produce fruits or results par time. True! (Matthew 13:18-23; Romans 12:1,2; James 1:22-25; Philippians 4:8,9).
Jesus Christ revealed that you spiritually dry up and finally dies, when you do not abide in Him by His Word abiding in you. True!
Take note, take heed!
3. If you truly desire to experience a peaceful, PROSPEROUS and glorious 2018, you as a divine BRANCH in the Vine tree (Christ) must consciously and consistently BEAR fruit, if not the Husbandman (God the Father) will TAKE you away. God forbids!
That is, you must consciously and consistently bear the fruit of righteousness in terms of fruit of the SPIRIT, fruit of SOULS and fruit of your SPECIFIC PURPOSE (walk and work) in Christ in this World. True! (Galatians 5:16-26; Hebrews 12:1-14; James 5:7,8; John 17:1-5; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; 2 Timothy 4:5-8; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15; Colossians 4:17).
Take note, take heed!
JESUS CHRIST revealed that it only in our bearing fruit in this World that our Father is GLORIFIED through our lives on Earth and truly His DISCIPLES in this World. (Matthew 5:13-16).
JESUS CHRIST revealed that WITHOUT Him you can do nothing. That is, you can not become or achieve anything on Earth as a Child of God in Him in this World. True!
Are you consciously and consistently abiding in JESUS CHRIST by allowing His Word to dwell richly in you enough to inspire and influence your relationship, choices and decisions to please God the Father daily? (2 Corinthians 6:14-18; 1 John :215-17).
Are you truly the DISCIPLE of Jesus Christ before men on Earth? If not, check your WALK and WORK with God!
Are you consciously and consistently bearing the fruit of the SPIRIT in Christ? If not, check your WALK with God! (Galatians 5:16-26).
Are you consciously and consistently bearing the fruit of the SOULS in Christ? If not, check your WALK and WORK with God! (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).
Are you consciously and consistently bearing the fruit of your SPECIFIC PURPOSE in Christ? If not, check your WALK and WORK with God! (1 Corinthians 3:6-15).
If you do, you will by the MERCY, GRACE and FAITHFULNESS of God the Father have a peaceful, PROSPEROUS and a glorious 2018 (in Jesus name). This is because WALKING and WORKING with God isn't INSTANT GRATIFICATION, but a process of GROWTH that leads to amazing and miraculous things. (Hebrews 4:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:24).
2018...our year of TESTIMONY.
God bless you.
