DR MRS LIZZY JOHNSON SULEMAN.
TODAY WEDNESDAY 18TH, DEC 2019.
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Morn. Jonah Even: Rev 9
TOPIC: ABIDE IN CHRIST JESUS 3
TEXT: “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.
GOD has helped us look at two major requirements wherein we must not be found wanting in abiding in CHRIST, and today we shall be looking at the third requirement necessary to abide.
CONTINUANCE: Abiding also involves continuance. To “abide” means to remain, to stay or continue.
For example, in John 1 :38 – 39, two of the disciples who first encountered JESUS asked Him “Where are you staying?” They wanted to know where JESUS made His residence.
The word ‘staying’ is The Same word translated ‘abide’ in John 15.
To abide is to reside. To abide is to continue to stay, to remain.
By this teaching. JESUS prepares His disciples for His imminent death and departure, by instructing them about their calling and mission as His disciples, and emphasizing their absolute dependence on Him.
Child of GOD, to win this race is to continue to abide in the vine.
It is to stay in the vine without which you cannot bear fruit nor will you be rewarded.
Ask GOD for Grace to continue to stay with Him even when circumstances are geared towards pushing you away from the vine.
PRAYER:
My Father, my Father, as I begin to pray. I need Grace to remain in the vine (JESUS CHRIST).
