Connect with Jesus and Bear Fruits

a grape branch bears grapes only when it's connected with the main branch
Get connected & bear fruits in Christ

Let's go through John chapter 15 and get to know how to get connected with our Lord Jesus.

In John 15:1-2 says that, Jesus is the true vine, our heavenly Father is the husbandman /farmer/ gardener & we are branches. Our father cast away every branch in Jesus that does not bear fruits. But prune every branch that bear fruits, so that they may bear more fruits in future too. Let's take note and remember this. That our heavenly Father is watching us all the time. He's expecting fruits from our lives. What are these fruits? In Galatians 5:22-23 the fruits are described. They are love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness & temperance.

The Word Jesus spoke can sanctify our souls.(John 15:3) Jesus said that we are clean through the Word He has spoken to us. The Messiah Jesus ask us to be in Himself to bear fruits as the branch cannot bear fruits itself unless connected to the branch. (John 15:4) Here Jesus reminds us that we are nothing without him. If we are in Jesus & He in us we may bear much fruit.

If someone is not in Jesus, that person will be cast out & his/her life will be withered. So at the judgement, withered branches will be thrown to the eternal fire. Let's take a look at this. We know if we cut out a branch from a tree, it remains like live for 2-3 days and starts withering. Likewise are our lives. When we disobey the Lord & get disconnect with Himself, our lives may not experience sudden withering or loss of things. But from the time we break His commandments we are dying inside like the branch started withering after few days. The results appear after some time. But we are dying & slowly walking in the path of hell.

Let's be in Jesus and and make His Word dwell in our heart so that our prayers will be answered
Our prayers would be answered if we abide in Christ & the Word of God is in us

Jesus glorified our heavenly Father by every work He did. Every miracle, sign & wonder glorified God. Jesus says when we bear fruits we become true disciples in Christ and glorify the Father. Let's remember that Jesus selected disciples to be with Him. Because of things we do mentioned in above paragraphs, we stay in Him. Therefore automatically we become disciples.


In John 15:9,10 Jesus asks us to be dipped in His love.  How much the Father loves Jesus, that much Jesus loves us. How great that is? Can you imagine how much you are loved? Hallelujah!! Hey wait. But there's a condition. This happens only if we keep His commandments. As Jesus kept Heavenly Father's commandments, Jesus remained in Father's full love.

COVID-19 Ultimate Protection


COVID-19

COVID-19

What is covid-19? This name make goosebumps even on our Christians these days. Let's explore about this corona virus family a bit.

It's a large family of viruses causing illness from cold to severe life threats. MERS & SARS are also from this family of viruses. Corona viruses are zoonotic, which means they are transmitted from animals to human beings. Now COVID-19 has been declared as an epidemic.

Bible says we are at the age of the beginning of sorrows. In Mathew 24:4-8(NKJV) says, “Take heed that no one deceives you.For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows."
God Protects
Jesus protects you in every situation

Ultimate protection 


As human beings we often forget how powerful & what a dominion God has our lives. Bible says that everything in this world is created by Him. In John 1:3(NKJV) it says that "All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made."

When pestilences like COVID-19 spreads around the world, we think that this small virus is powerful & can bring harm to our lives. We forget the promises of God. Many times He says not to be afraid of these kind of things. The other thing we do is reminding God to protect us. Why we need to remind Him? Has He forgotten? 

No. The fault is with our selves. Let's look into scriptures. In Psalms 91:1(NKJV) says, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." 

God invites us to live in Jesus, so we will live under the protection of the almighty. When we live in Jesus, we get a bunch of benefits which is described in the rest of psalms 91 which also includes in Psalms 91:10 (NKJV) "No evil shall befall you,Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling"

See, your life is protected. It is promised. Therefore don't undermine the power of God in your lives by getting feared on this small virus. Have faith. God is with you keeping His promises faithfully.We have to do our part. Live in Jesus.



If you have not received salvation in Christ yet or a non believer, I ask you to say the prayer below & invite Jesus to your heart. He'll change your situations & comfort you with divine peace. Though you don't know Jesus, He knows you. Because you are His creation. He's waiting until you come to Him. Jesus loves you. 

Offer this prayer to accept Jesus as your redeemer

Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. Amen!

Have a blessed day in Christ. God Bless
