"I AM the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser. Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit."(John 15:1-2)
"According to the grace (the special endowment for my task) of God bestowed on me, like a skillful architect and master builder I laid [the] foundation, and now another [man] is building upon it. But let each [man] be careful how he builds upon it, for no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is [already] laid, which is Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)." (1Co 3:10-11)
"You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life." (John 5:39-40 ESV)
"I AM the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser. Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit."(John 15:1-2)
Abide in the Vine
Help Restoring the Church of Jesus Christ
Truth that sets men free, can only be experienced when the Word of God is constantly obeyed and practiced.
TEACHING
Jesus gave us a full proof pattern to train a new kind of mankind so that they would be able to bring hope and reconcilication to the entire human race. He came to show a new way of teaching men to be like Himself through teaching and discipling:
The Word of God, Son of God, Saviour of the world, God in the flesh
The Old and New Testament is inspired by God
The Word of God, Son of God, Saviour of the world, God in the flesh
...saying: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." (Matt 28:19-20)
Jesus told those who believed in Him: "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:31-32 ESV) When such truth is revealed, it will bring freedom from condemnation and fear. Therefore the apostle Paul said: 16 But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. (2Cor 3:16-18 ESV)
The mere study of the Word of God (Bible), without a living relationship with the Living God, leads to legalism as Jesus warned us, saying: "You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life." (Joh 5:39-40 ESV)
Life Changing Topics:
AN EXCELLENT FOUNDATION
The Higher the building the deeper and stronger the foundation needs to be. The roots of very high trees are often deeper underground then above ground. In order to reach great heights in Christ Jesus we must be deeply rooted in God’s love and have strong foundation. When men are not deeply convicted about the true standard of the Word of God, when tough times comes, people quickly fades away under pressure.
MY IDENTITY IN CHRIST
In order to establish our identity we must receive constant affirmation of God’s love and understand the full impact of that into which we have been restored. Feelings and past experiences cannot determine the truth of what God had unconditionally done for those who will accept that unmerited grace and favour. Only once we start to acknowledge every good thing in us, can we start to partake of the identity of our new man, in Christ Jesus!.
AUTHORITY AND DOMINION
The purpose of God for the creation of man and the great vision and value God has for His creation, became clear from the moment God created man. But very few has a full and experiential understanding of this purpose, which God in His great love had for mankind. After they fell, they became ignorant of this plan of God. Then God send His Son to demonstrate His complete plan for man. Now man has only one responsibility to accept that awesome purpose..
GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
A gift is an underserved favour some gives to another. God came to restore fallen Man to his intended glory by undeservedly empowering and recharging them by His Holy Spirit. Accompanied with this empowerment God reveals the character of His nature and power through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Gift can’t be grown they are divinely given and lifts man up to experience the glory they had lost..
OLD VS. NEW TESTAMENT
The Purpose and ministry of the Old Testament was glorious, but the New Testament glory completely succeeded the old. A great mistake has been made by many Christians who have misunderstand the difference between the ministries of the Old Testament and the New and have mixed the two eras of God purpose. When the true impact of the New Testament in Christ is fully understood, it will change the way Christians will live and operate.
THE WELLSPRING OF LIFE
God has made man an awesome being, but man became ignorant of the how fearfully and wonderfully he was created. The Centre of the being of man is his heart, where his soul reside. The man of wisdom, Solomon warned us to guard our hearts, for out of it, like water spring forth out of a well, comes the issues of life. Therefore as man thinks and truly believes in his heart, so is he.
