Everyone’s destiny is to be fruitful and to fulfill his or her purpose in life…

Who better to know your destiny and purpose in life, than the One who created you and Authored your life…

We Must Abide in Christ

John 15:1-8
Contemporary English Version

Jesus Is the True Vine
15 Jesus said to his disciples:

I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.

2 He cuts away every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit. But he trims clean every branch that does produce fruit, so that it will produce even more fruit.

3 You are already clean because of what I have said to you.

4 Stay joined to me, and I will stay joined to you.

Just as a branch cannot produce fruit unless it stays joined to the vine, you cannot produce fruit unless you stay joined to me.

5 I am the vine, and you are the branches. If you stay joined to me, and I stay joined to you, then you will produce lots of fruit. But you cannot do anything without me.

6 If you don’t stay joined to me, you will be thrown away. You will be like dry branches that are gathered up and burned in a fire.

7 Stay joined to me and let my teachings become part of you.

Then you can pray for whatever you want, and your prayer will be answered.

8 When you become fruitful disciples of mine, my Father will be honored.

SELAH (let us pause and calmly think about these things)

LESSONS FROM THE LEMON TREE

If you put a lemon tree on a hill, in a valley, city, countryside, or next to an apple tree, it still produces lemons.

It’s our nature to focus on our circumstances, personal life, work life, or financial life, but Messiah doesn’t focus on those things.

Your circumstance has little to do with the walk God called you to.

Salvation is unconditional.

Messiah won’t ask you about your circumstances on the Day of Judgment.

He came that you might bear fruit.

If you abide in Him, you’ll bear fruit, and that’s God’s will for your life.

It doesn’t matter if you’re on the mountain or in the valley, if people love you or hate you.

You bear fruit not because of what’s around you, but because of what’s inside of you.

This world, with all its circumstances – good and bad – can’t stop you from bearing fruit.

Learn from the lemon tree: bear your fruit no matter what, because He loves you.

His love is unconditional, so your fruit should be unconditional.

Fruit doesn’t come because of circumstance, it comes because of the tree.

TODAY’S MISSION

Today, practice bearing the fruit of the Spirit in every place, time, situation, and circumstance unconditionally.
