THE SOURCE OF A PRODUCTIVE AND FRUITFUL LIFE


 "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".~John 15:5

The one characteristic of every living being is fruitfulness and productivity, plants and animals inclusive.
It is the orchestrated will and plan of God for every of His creation that possesses life to be fruitful and productive as shown and revealed to us through God's Word.

Therefore, these two characteristics (fruitfulness and productivity) are evidence of a person who has life in him–one who is living. In other words, if your life doesn't replicate this reality in every domain of your life, then its likely that you are merely existing.

The scripture John 15, exposes a truth for everyone that craves to be and remain fruitful and productive in every aspect of life (physically, spiritually, financially, academically, mentally,business-wisely, maritally, etc)

Yes! God's will for you is that every thing about you prospers, yields excellent and abundant results. However, it cannot be a reality without the awareness and acknowledgement of the source– Jesus Christ.

Look at what this scripture says;
 "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"~ John 15:5.
Jesus, in this scripture, guarantees a much more fruitful,productive life if we stay joined with Him; that connection ought to be present for the production of " much fruit. And He didn't say "little" but "much fruit". That's a lot of benefit for just staying joined with Christ!

Let us analyze the few facts hidden in that scripture:
– You have to first acknowledge, receive and become one with Jesus the vine to bear fruits.
– The vine (Jesus) supplies enough nutrients for the branch (you) for as long as you remain and that keeps you productive. He provides you the wisdom, ideas, provisions, strength, abilities, etc to be proactive in productivity and fruitfulnes.~John15:4.
– To make great and notable achievements in your life multifacetedly, you must be built in and with Christ. " ...For without me, ye can do nothing".~ John15:5c
God despises unproductivity and unfruitfulness. That's the reason He blessed all His creation that has life; plants,animals and man, with the ability to be fruitful. ~Genesis 1:22, Genesis 1:28.
Your relevance and prosperity lies with God. You cannot prosper without Him cause He is the ultimate source.~Psalm 1:3.
–The one who does not bear fruit is considered worthless and useless in life; He withers and is burnt like a chaff. ~John 15:6, Psalms 1:4. 
Jesus cursed even a fig tree because it was unfruitful. ~Mark 11:13-14;20-21.

Never believe the fallacy from the devil that you can make it on your own, whatever thing it is or thing ventured into. Your ultimate support system and source of help in life is Jesus Christ. Any other source has not shown authenticity. Hook up with Him. Accept Him if you haven't done so. Make Him your friend. Get joined with Him and ensure you both are inseparable by nurturing your relationship with Him. That alone can guarantee and secure you a blessed, productive life forever.

The vine (Jesus) will always be responsible for your life only if you accept and remain with Him. Your destiny will be so colourful after He's done with you.Trust Him this year and beyond and observe how your life will so improve and skyrocket.

If you haven't received Christ, the ultimate source, now is the right time. Just say this prayer;
Lord Jesus, I repent today of my sins and thought of self dependency. I accept you today as Lord over my life even as I trust you with my whole being. Abide in me today even as I pledge my allegiance to you and abide with you. Thank you for saving me in Jesus name, Amen!

Be fruitful and productive now and always in Jesus name, Amen.

God bless you!

We live in a world where premarital sex, lust, and diverse sexual vices are thrown at us on the face. Sensual pictures, movies and music that promotes and instigates pornography, masturbation, lesbianism, homosexuality, adultery, rape, lust, etc are rampant, virtually everywhere. It takes advance discipline and utmost reverend for God to be able to resist it. When you access the internet, its there. When you read through some magazines, its there. What about the television compiled with various TV channels with different commercials, ads, movies, operas, shows, etc, it is in its abundance.  These days, almost everything we view promotes lust. Even ads; mere ads. Those that value their christian faith and purity can't even watch television in peace. You'll have to keep changing and switching channels to guide your eyes against scenes that defiles the mind. Even the streets are cluttered with immodestly dressed women and men. They are on every sidewalk and every corne...

HE WAITS FOR IT

I love that feeling I get when a person who seeks my downfall gets so disappointed as a result of his planned scheme against me being totally frustrated. I really do love it. It communicates that I can't be touched, harmed or disadvantaged by the enemy. It makes the fact about God being with me evident to me. I'm certain Jesus had that satisfactory feeling when He overcame the temptations the devil brought His way during His retreat in the wilderness. Imagine being highly tempted three times around the same time and all temptations are in sync with the desires of the flesh. However, Jesus overcame him with a simple tactics..." by the words of their testimony" ( Revelation   12:11).  Until tomorrow, this strategy is most relevant for overcoming any hurdle, challenge or temptation. How does this correlate with today's article; HE WAITS FOR IT? Luke speaks of a reality Jesus experienced and every Christian equally experiences.   See this: "Now when t...

AN EYE FOR AN EYE

An eye for an eye is no new idiom. You must have heard of it or use it yourself. Either way, that idiom is something a child of God should never use but apply a different approach to it. An eye for an eye is a language used by those who seek justice (a repay) of wrong(s) or evil done to him or her. But in as much as justice is good and in many cases approved even in scriptures, same scripture gave room for mercy and forgiveness.  Unfortunately, many christians take laws into their hands by "wanting their offenders eye for the eye taken from them". They want to equivalently retaliate for the pain, backstab, hate, gossip or any sort of evil done to them in other to satisfy that hurt. But this is contrary to what Jesus preached. Jesus taught two vital measures you should take for any wrong or mischief done against you.  Before i talk on these two keys, I'd love to reveal what the Holyspirit personally taught me from the book of Ephesians on this subject of reveng...

A GEN Z PROBLEM

You don't have to be surprised by today's blog title. I can assure you that there are challenges this generation are faced with that the previous generations didn't experience.  Just stay with me on this ride. In case you don't know what Gen Z is, GEN Z (Generation Z) is a term refered to individuals born between 1997 and 2012. It isn't really a professional term used to identify those born in those years but it was coined by few individuals. However, it's use gained wide spread around 2010 to 2015 particularly amongst marketers/advertizers, media outlets, researchers and youngsters especially in social media world. I said something about the previous generation known as the millennials (those born between 1981 to 1996) who didn't really face the problems of the 'Gen Z's. "What could it be? "  Simple, SOCIAL MEDIA PRESSURE. Prior to the 21st century (2000's), it is recorded that the world was already digitalized but the soci...

GOD IS COMMITTED TO YOUR SAFETY: An Experience

Last Sunday's service sparked in my memory an experience I had with a cultist few months back. The sermon, "THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS ANGELS OF PROSPERITY" by my mentor, Pastor Victor Akah cemented my belief in God's total protection, the ministry of His angels and the consciousness of their presence in my life. However, I want to show you by the spirit and my experience that God never fails to protect and deliver those who are His.  It was on a Saturday evening. The weather; beautiful, fit for evangelism. I walked a distance then followed a shortcut that would make my journey to the church hall easier before setting out for evangelism with brethren. It was round 4:30 pm.  As I walked into the street, getting closer to its end as to reach the express road, I heard a man whistle at me, " Hello, fine girl, stop". I thought it was just one of those guys by the road side that have nothing to tell a young girl but to ask for her name and number, so I ig...
