John 15:1(I am the true vine and my father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit he purgeth it that it may bring forth more fruit. 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 ye, except ye abide in me. 6 If a man abide not in me he is cast forth as a branch, and is withere; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned).5b for without me you can do nothing.
When we have the right key in our hand our access is undeniable. In the journey of destiny the key to our total and complete freedom is to continue to abide in the vine. For a branch to bear fruit, it needs to attach itself to the vine because no branch can survive on its own. Jesus Christ is the true vine, we are the branch and without him we cannot bear fruit worthy of repentance (Luke 3:8). The only way to be totally free from the powers that are opposing our greatness and glorious destiny is to attach ourselves to him. We cannot afford to stand on our own; it is very risky not only are we going to be vulnerable to the enemy, God himself will cut us off and cast us into the fire, but that will not be you in Jesus name. If we continue to abide in the vine and bear good fruit God will continue to supply us with power and the anointing to overcome every obstacle on our way. Roman 8:31b says if God be for us who can be against us? You may ask, but Nene, how do I abide in him? Here is your answer. John 15:9(As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. 12 This is my commandment, that ye love one another as I have loved you). Love for God and love for one another is the requirement if we must continue to abide in him. When you love someone you will try to please him the same is applied in our relationship with God. Jesus said that his father is always with him because he does what pleases him. The desire to please God should be our priority as a redeemed child of God because that is the only way we can remain connected. If you carry God's presence every obstacle will automatically clear off your way (Psalm 24:7). Galatians 5:22(But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law). If you are born of the Spirit you are expected to bear the fruit of the spirit because “like beget like” It is an abomination for a mango tree to bear cashew fruit. The manifestation of this fruit of the Spirit in the life of a believer is the proof that he or she is connected and it also meant to draw others to the kingdom of God. You cannot be a lover of the world and claim to love God at the same time. You need to choose a side. Galatian 5:19-21 paraphrasing, Now the work of the flesh are manifest which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strife, envying, murders, drunkenness and many more. You cannot abide in him except you are born of the Spirit neither can you bear the fruit of the Spirit. John 3:6(That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit). The decision is yours; choose to abide in him today by praying this simple prayer.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
