Scripture
John 15: 4-5 “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. 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.”
Observation
1) My connection to Jesus is the key to success in my life.
2) I cannot grow apart from Jesus.
3) Jesus is the vine.
4) I am a branch.
5) If I am connected to Jesus, I will grow in Godly character.
6) Apart from Jesus I can do nothing and be nothing.
Application
My relationship with Jesus is the key to everything in my life. If I am connected to Jesus I will become the person God wants me to be and accomplish His will. I have to invest in my relationship with Jesus. My human nature wants to work. My spirit wants to abide. Abiding in Christ is my work. It is my time with God that my character is formed. It is my time with God where I am empowered to be a witness.
Prayer
I desire to know you more. I want to be connected to Christ. I want to learn to abide in you. I ask for a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit in my life. I need you more today than ever before. I want to bear much fruit.
