THE TRUE VINE

[pastor sunday]

3 step of a fruitful man

John 15:1-8

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch that doesn't produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. 3 You have already been pruned for greater fruitfulness by the message I have given you. 4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful apart from me.

5 "Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. 6 Anyone who parts from me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. 7 But if you stay joined to me and my words remain in you, you may ask any request you like, and it will be granted! 8 My true disciples produce much fruit. This brings great glory to my Father.

NLT

The Gospel of John gives a distinctive explanation and tangible revelation of God’s word, the style of writing is different and simple.

The opening verse of the gospel of John introduce Jesus as the “the middle man” between the father and his Children. That is FATHER SON HIS PEOPLE

To make my summary short, do know that Jesus was basically explaining the three things you can do and remain fruitful in life “My true disciples produce much fruit. This brings glory to My Father” what a perfection of Family tree.

Follow this three principle and you never regret you did.

· CONNEXION;
I love to use this word because it show the highest level of connectivity. Jesus explaining what we need to do to get to the top, said “ I am in the father and the father is in me” that is, I am connected to the father and the father is connected to me. The first step of a fruitful man is being connected to the Son, ‘I am the vine; you are the branches’ just like the branch can not of itself except it abide in the vine, so you need to get connected to me, there have to be Son and father connection to understand the things of God. 1 Corinthians 2;10

· TRUST
when you are connected to me you must believe in me and Trust that the things I said I will give I will really do. ‘ those that know your name will put their trust in you” Psalm 9; 10, 37;5, trusting in God mean giving all your burden and worries, 1 Peter 5;7.

· WORD
This part is the most powerful principle of increasing, “ if you abide in me and my words abide in you, you will ask any request you like, and it will be granted” what a true virtue. You remember what God said to Joshua before he took over the leadership of Israel
Josh 1:8

8 Study this Book of the Law continually. Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed

NLT

The word of God, is the only weapon for acceleration in the life of a Christian.

I don’t think I can give all here, but I will continue, everyday until he comes.
