John 15:1-7 KJV
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. [2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. [3] Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. [4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide 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 abide 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 Vine needs the branches, the fruits come from the branches. JESUS needs you
John 15:16
Matthew 28:18-20
* He needs our voice to preach the Gospel and cast out demons.
* He needs our feet to take the Gospel to the outermost parts of the world.
* He needs our hands to lay on the sick so they could be healed.
*One the other hand however, You need Him more than He needs you. Because without the Vine, the branch can not be fed. Matthew 6:11. Psalm 23:1, Philippians 4:19
*No branch can bear fruits without the support of the vine. Philippians 4:14
* When the branch is separated from the vine, we see what happens : Judges 16:18-21, 1 Sam 16:14.
* The branch must always remember, the Vine has many others to choose from as a branch. Don't ever believe you are the only one that can be used or is being useful.
Action point: Don't get separated from the Vine.
Prayer point: God for mercy and grace to always remain connected to Him.
