Anglican Daily Fountain Devotional 11th June 2023, Sunday Message
TOPIC: Remain Connected To Jesus Through The Word
TEXT: John 15:1-5(NKJV)
15:1. “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
15:2. “Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every [branch] that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
15:3. “You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
15:4. “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
15:5. “I am the vine, you [are] the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
STUDY: Using the analogy of the vine in our text today, Apostle John reminds us that we are designed and called unto kingdom fruitfulness. The only condition for this fruitfulness, is continually abiding in the Lord Jesus, who is the true vine. In fact, Jesus Himself declared that, “Without me, you can do nothing”(v.5).
The key ingredient we need to keep bearing fruit is the Word of God. The Word sanctifies and washes away impurities and hindrances in a disciple’s life. The pruning process is not always pleasant, but the end result is spiritual growth. Remember Jesus said, it is the Word of God that purifies and makes us whole. Keep eating and digesting the Word daily and you will be fruitful in all your endeavours. Like the Psalmist said, anyone who delights in the Word of God shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, bringing forth fruits in season, whose leaves do not wither, and who prosper in all they do (Psa. 1:2-3). Apostle Paul admonished the church in Colossae thus;“Let the Word dwell richly in you”(Col. 3:16). Get connected to the Lord today. Be a hearer and doer of the word (James 1:22).
PRAYER: Lord, I am nothing without you, grant me grace to continually abide in you, the true vine. Amen.
QUOTE: I made you holy by the once for all sacrifice of My Son, Jesus Christ. Hebrews 10:10
