ABIDE
Text: John 15:1-5
By: Adeaga O. Favour
No matter how fruitful a branch can be, once detached from the tree, it withers by time. Also, the relevance a branch enjoys is rooted in its continuous attachment to the tree. Every one of us is only productive to the level we are connected to Jesus.
Our life is not programmed to function independent of God, no and if it does, it will only malfunction. Jesus said "As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me," Jn 15:4
God's joker card for a productive life is simple - abide. Your commitment to remaining attached to the vine is what guarantees a continual flow of divine resources for your life. Show me a flourishing life and I will show you a life rooted in Christ.
REFLECTION FOR TODAY:
How rooted you are determines how productive you will be.
PRAY:
I cut off today whatever may want to cut me off from the Vine in Jesus' name.
