TEXT: JOHN 15: 4-5
“Remain in me, and I will remain in you.
No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you
bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine you are the branches. If a
man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can
do nothing” (John 15:5).
I woke up one good morning, with the expectation to get a
lot of things done. I was eager to go on the internet to find answers to many
questions I thought of over the night. I wanted ideas and information about a
lot of things, confidently I picked my computer and logged on, but instead of
being able to surf the internet and get the information I wanted, the response
I got from the computer was “There is no internet connection.” This made me to
angry and disappointed, I tried all I could do to make the computer to be
connected with the internet but all to no avail. I had a lot things that I wanted
to do, I wanted ideas, information and answer to some questions, but I was
unable to do all these because my computer could not connect to the internet.
The questions I wanted answers to remained unanswered; I was unable to get the
idea and the information needed. Though I was ready to do some research and
gain some knowledge, the computer was available, and I had all my writing
materials ready, yes I could not do anything because the most important thing
was missing (The internet connection). This made me to be unable to achieve
what I wanted. If the internet connection was not disconnected, I would have
been able to acquire knowledge and Ideas all over the world from the comfort of
my house.
As children of God, we need to always get connected to God
for us to achieve our purpose in life. For you to gain ideas and information
that will transport you to a higher level, you need to be connected to God. You
may be wealthy, knowledgeable, and influential, if you are not connected with
God which is your source, you can do nothing.
If you disconnect yourself from God, you won’t be able to
bear fruit. If you have everything and God is missing from your life, making it
in life may be very difficult. Therefore if you have gone away from Him, if you
had disconnected from the vine, go back to Him in prayer, and tell him to have
mercy on you and bring you back to Him for without Him you can do nothing.
