Introduction to the Vine - John 15:1

happyheartbilblestudy.weebly.com

What comes to mind when we hear vine? Maybe some may think of the physical plant vine. The true vine I am referring to is Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the prince of peace, the ancient of days, the almighty father and the king of glory. Let us explore together the identity of the True Vine.
bible.knowing-jesus.com

He is the one who created the whole world and every element in it. He is our heavenly father, the one who gives life (Genesis 2:7). He showed his humility by leaving his beautiful palace in heaven and came in human form to die for our sins. The true vine came and suffered for our sake, he became poor for us to be rich so that through His poverty we might become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). 
Jesus really wants us to grow, experience his power and fulfill our purpose on earth. When you know the vine, then you will start experiencing transformation in your academics, finances, marriage and all areas of your life.

      This is amazing.
      Remaining in the True Vine sets an individual up for divine greatness and "extraordinary" becomes part of your identity in Christ. You cannot be Christ's ambassador and remain ordinary. Stay blessed.

    THE MYSTERY OF GOD'S BATTLE AXE

    Jeremiah 51:20 - Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms. sdaprophecies.com What is God's battle axe? The battle axe is one of the strongest and most dangerous weapon ever made. God is the man of war (Exodus 15:3)and we are his battle axe. When God fights on the battle ground, he needs a weapon that is trustworthy and strong. To survive this complex and perverted world as children of the Most High God, we need to be a danger to Satan and his cohorts. The enemy should see you and retreat with immediate alacrity, the devil should smell your presence from a distance and run away. The lord wants to use you dear brother and sister to fight His battles. As Christians we should not only be keen on asking from God all the time, we should also be willing to help fight on the battlefield. Children of the True vine should be keen on depopulating the kingdom of darkness and bringing souls to the kingdom...

    The Mystery of Honoring God

    By Bolatito Agbebi

    Reading through the book of Daniel chapter 1, I saw that Daniel dared to stand out from others. Not only did he purposed in his heart but also showed it in his action. You cannot serve God and remain like others, you cannot sacrifice your time and all for God and get the same results as others who do not even believe in God. Daniel served the living God and God honored him and he was fairer than other children.  ldsliving.com You get many benefits when you honor God with your body, life, dressing, career, and daily lifestyle. Since the bible says your body is the temple of God, this means that anything that will defile your body should be avoided. Keep away from drawings and piercings that do not glorify God. Also, alcohol and smoking should be avoided because it destroys the immune system inside your body that God called His temple. Your daily life should honor God, what you say, and your actions should glorify God.  familydoctor.org In Daniel 2:19, Daniel desired God to know...

      Who is Abigail? - 1 Samuel 25 Abigail is one of the virtuous women in the bible, let us get to know her a little. She is a model to both young and old women. She is the wife of Nabal and mother of Chileab whom she bore for King David.  She had beauty and brains. So many people nowadays believe that it is  not possible to be beautiful and intelligent at the same time, but sis Abigail's story proved to us that we can actually have both.  She understood timing - 1 Samuel 25:23 Now the question is why did such a wonderful and Godly woman marry a worthless man who is also an unbeliever (son of belial) and a dunk.  Answer: This story shows all young unmarried christian ladies that marrying an unbeliever is hell on earth and leads to long-lasting sorrow.  Lessons learnt She did not sit at home, she went to confront her problem/who was seen as a threat. This act demonstrates confidence in God.  She calmed David down with words of blessings. Use of words i...
