ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Saturday June 15th, 2024.

Topic : Forming Partnership With The Lord.

Memory Verse : John 15:4 So you must remain in life-union with me, for I remain in life-union with you. For as a branch severed from the vine will not bear fruit, so your life will be fruitless unless you live your life intimately joined to mine.

Bible Reading : John 15:1-3 TPT. Key Verse : v3.

“I am a true sprouting vine, and the farmer who tends the vine is my Father. He cares for the branches connected to me by lifting and propping up the fruitless branches and pruning every fruitful branch to yield a greater harvest. The words I have spoken over you have already cleansed you.

The beauty of living for Jesus Christ is in the fruits we bear daily. Before Jesus left the earth, he had a heart to heart talk with his disciples to prepare them for what lay ahead of them in a life without his physical presence which they enjoyed or had gotten used to as at that point in time. Certain factors stands out from his teaching here about being fruitful before the Lord. We will try to look at them one after another. The first factor we need to consider is that we don’t have what it takes to stand on our own in the first place as individuals, just as a branch of a tree or vine can’t stand on it’s own, no matter how good or rich it may be. For it to be sustained, it must stay glued to the stem which supplies the nutrients from the soil by which the branches lives. “”I am the sprouting vine and you’re my branches. As you live in union with me as your source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from me you are powerless.” John 15:5.

We have to understand that God the father is the owner and the one taking care of the daily well being of the tree and branches. He uses his word on us as prunning instrument to keep us in the right or best condition that encourages fruitfulness. He cuts off every fruitless branches, so that the fruitful ones will have the right atmosphere to thrive. Any branch that desires to bear much fruits as demanded by the master must therefore expose itself continously to the cleansing work of the word. This means that the function of the word in our lives changes to meet our specific spiritual needs per time. I say so because in engendering growth and maturity, the word function in us as milk or meat depending on individuals or our level of maturity and spiritual capacity. This is made possible by the power of the Spirit and Life the word carries which is able to detect or discern what we need per time. “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life .” John 6:63 NIV‬.

Another factor as contained here is a life of fellowship. That is the only way we can remain in a life of union with the Lord. In the place of fellowship, we renew our commitment to the master even as we deepen our spiritual intimacy with him. This union makes him a partner or stakeholder in everything that concerns us and provides him with the legal ground to watch over our affairs against the onslaught of the wicked as well as intervene in our affairs at will. This is what qualifies men for uncommon and unexplainable divine help.

“Don’t panic. I’m with you.There’s no need to fear for I’m your God.I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you.I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you. “Count on it: Everyone who had it in for youwill end up out in the cold—real losers.Those who worked against youwill end up empty-handed—nothing to show for their lives.” Isaiah 41:10-11 MSG

Prayer: Thank you Father God for drawing me closer to yourself so that you can partner with me in the affairs of life. Help me to stay glued to you, so that you can always nourish and prune me. Thank you for for your strength and help upon my life in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Mark 1:1-13.
