Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
Growth is a very important aspect of our lives as an individual; every living thing including plants are expected to grow and mature to the point of producing fruit after their own kinds. Anything that refuses to grow will eventually die. The quality and quantity of food that we eat will definitely reflect in our body; that is, you don´t just eat but you need to eat the right food with the right quality and quantity and at the right time. Every child of God is a seed and needs to germinate and grow and produce fruits after his or her own kind. A seed cannot grow except if it is planted on good ground and nourished. As a seed Jesus Christ is the good soil in which we are planted in, we get our nourishment through him; He is that seed of Abraham that grows many branches. Galatians 3:26 (For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you have been baptised into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise).
The word of God is the air that we breathe just as the plant need air to grow, His word is the light that gives us an insight and direction and show us which ways to go; He is the vine and we are the branches; He is the water that quenches our thirst and nourishes us. During the process of photosynthesis, as the light shines the plant will shoot out towards the direction of the sunlight. Everything that we need to survive as a spiritual being is in Christ, that is why He said that we should abide in him. We were baptised into Christ to enable us to be part of him; that means we are engrafted into Christ; we cannot survive without him; He is our spiritual food, our spiritual photosynthesis, we need him like the plant needs water, air and sun light in order to live and grow to its fullest. As we remain in him whatever we feel, he also feels and that is what will enable him to come for our rescue quickly whenever we are in a traffic jam in this journey of life. The reason is because we are part of his body and he does not want his body to be injured or malnourished. Our daily feeding on the word of God is what will make us continue to abide in him and remain a fruit bearing branch and it will also help us to avoid the risk of being cut off; but that will not be you, in Jesus name.
John 15:4 (Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abides in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abides 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 ye will, and it shall be done unto you).
The faster we realise that Christ is everything to us and that we cannot live without him as a believer the faster we move and the greater we become. If Christ is not in you then you are dead and heading to hell fire and a dead man cannot make an impact just like the dead tree is only good for firewood. Only those who are in Christ and still remain so can live eternally. For you to live eternally you need food and that food is the word of God which is Christ himself (John 1:1-9). So, you need to make a conscious effort to study your bible, fellowship with the brethren and read anointed books and materials. You can only produce according to the amount of your food intake; your height and your level of achievement will be determined by the amount of your word intake. The journey begins with you, by giving him your heart; if he doesn't have access to your heart; the seed will be wasted because that is where everything is being processed. You are dead without Christ and for you to live, you need to be born again and take a new form and identity. The good news is that you can live again, even though you have been separated as a branch, you can still reconnect and today is your day of salvation. Friends, make a choice to live again by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus name.
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 saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
NENE ISAH,
