You shall be fruitful - Bro. T. Stephen

My Dearly beloved Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.  The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of John 15:11, ” These   things  I have spoken to you,  that My joy may remain in you and that your joy may be full”.  In the above context Jesus explains about the vine and the branches. Jesus said, “I am the true vine and you are the branches. He who abides in  Me  and I in him bears much fruit”.

My dear Brothers and Sisters God expects His children to abide in Him. If we abide in Him  and He in us then we will be fruitful. The Lord takes pleasure in those who hope in His mercy. When you are united in Him, rooted and grounded in Him then you become unshakable. And your relationship with the Lord becomes similar to that of the bridegroom over the bride,  which  will always, remain and continue the same,  for there is always, a reason to rejoice in Him, even in the most  afflictive circumstances of life.

To enjoy the fruitful life with God we need to keep the commandments of God, as He kept His Fathers commandments and abided in His love. I would entreat such persons,however to recollect what our blessed Lord has demonstrated for us on the cross of Calvary, in order to rescue us from the bondage of sin and slavery and has  saved us from the mouth of the grave.

Yes it was just prior to facing the agonies of Calvary that Jesus spoke of these things.In fact it was the only time that He spoke of His joy. His joy is different from that of the world. It is the joy of Christ.—- that “My joy may be in you” is the desire  of our Lord Jesus Christ. This abiding joy is not found anywhere else except in Him.  To have this abiding joy we need to possess Him.  Having a burning desire to read Gods word, Be submissive to Him, and be filled with the Holy Spirit then you shall be fruitful.  

God bless you.

Prayer: 

Our loving heavenly Father, we   thank You   for this blessed day.  Lord thank you for filling us with   Your   joy.  Help us to be rooted and grounded in You Lord. May we enjoy the richness of your  glory. Teach us to refrain ourselves from all the worldly things that distract us  from keeping in  tune with the Lord. May we be fruitful in the land of the living. In Jesus name we pray.

Amen.
