KEY SCRIPTURE: John 15:1 KJV “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.”

In John 15, the Lord spoke a lot about the vine and its branches. The main import was the need to bear a lot of fruits.

The Lord started by saying He is the vine, and the Father is the husbandman or the gardener. The vine is a light or small stem creeping, twinning, or climbing plant. Such plants normally cover and actually, dominate any area it finds itself. The church of our Lord Jesus has the mandate to dominate and take over our world. Jesus is the vine. As the vine, the branches have the same life as the vine. The Christian shares the same life with Jesus. We have inherent within us the abilities of Jesus. Eph 3:9 KJV” And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:” Our fellowship or oneness with Jesus is a mystery beyond human understanding. We have become true participators of the divine nature of Jesus.

The Christian cannot become effective for God until he or she understands the unique relationship we have with Jesus. Phm 1:6 KJV” That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” We are the extension of our Lord Jesus on this earth. Please stop considering your weakness and limitations as a man and fully accept the divine life at work in you right now.

The Lord also said the Father is the husbandman. As the husbandman, God is our caretaker. The task of the caretaker is the problem solver and the burden bearer. It is not your role to be worried about anything. Our role as the branches is to bear fruits for our heavenly Father. It is to the Father’s glory that we bear fruit and much of it. Our focus in life must be to bear fruit to His glory. If the Father is our burden bearer, then we have the most efficient preserver and securer of our lives. He is the God of the universe. He is our Shepherd and so we should not want. Let every anxiety cease with you as you acknowledge that our heavenly Father is dedicated to your peace, blessings and fulfilment.

THOUGHT: WE ARE EXTENSIONS OF OUR MASTER JESUS ON EARTH, WITH THE FATHER AS THE CARETAKER.
