KEY SCRIPTURES: John 15:6 KJV” If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.”

The Lord says those who do not abide in Him become valueless to men. We learnt in our last studies that fellowshipping with the Lord is what keeps one abiding in Christ. Prayer and commitment to the word of God are the prime means of abiding in Christ. Please note that by our birth into Christ He has become our very life source. We live with His very life. Abiding in Christ is a practical way of expressing that union with Jesus.

The Lord says, if a child of God fails to commit to the Lord through fellowshipping, he would eventually lose the impact that Christ has saved him to be to the world. He would be of no use to the course of the gospel in the life of men. Men would likewise have no good use of him. The Lord used the term ‘they would cast him into the fire’. This thought expressed by our master Jesus reveals that, as a child of God you are in a position to play a very important role to the world. Rom 8:19 KJV “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” The child of God is a symbol of hope to our world, and must not fail to bring that answer of revealing Jesus in his or her life. Prov 13:12 KJV” Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.”

Please consider the following scripture. Rom 8:20 KJV” For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,” The world is in a kind of crisis and stress such that the true people to help are the children of God, manifesting their sonship. Our sonship is revealing the Christ nature and power to our world. It is when the child of God becomes what Christ saved him to be, that he becomes of real value to men. If he does not, he is of no value to the world and the world uses him any how it chooses. The Lord said, he is cast into fire. Dear child of God, how much are you committed to Christ as a person? This is what would determine your impact to the world, and how valuable you are to the world. In the light of what have been revealed in this study, every child of God needs to seriously examine his or her life in relation to his or her dedication to our Lord Jesus. If you find yourself wanting, then repent and turn totally to the master.

THOUGHT: YOUR VALUE TO THE WORLD IS DEPENDANT ON YOUR DEDICATION TO JESUS
