We live, grow and flourish because we are attached to the ultimate Source!

 John 15:5

 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.

Picture a tree, with different branches, some small and others long. They bear fruit when they are attached to the tree itself. However, a broken branch, quickly dries off and dies. No longer will it bear fruit, it doesn't matter whether it is rainy season or winter, no fruits will come out of that branch; it is no longer plugged in to the source of life. However, the branches that remains attached to the tree, continues living and bearing much fruit in season. It is exactly the same with us. God is our tree, our source where we get our nutrients from. In Him we are grounded and continue to grow and flourish. He is the One behind the successes, the victories and the impact. Without Him, we bear no fruit, we are dead!

The question is, how do we remain plugged in to the Source, as it is imperative? By staying in His presence, all days of our lives. Not keeping Him in a shelf six days of the week and pulling Him out only on Sunday, no! By making Him the centre of every area of our lives. Putting Him first in everything. It's like if you are sick, you will put Him first by surrendering to His guidance and will. Taking the medication but recognizing that He is your healer and asking Him to bless the medication to do that which we cannot do ourselves. By inviting Him into your day, inviting Him to your workplace so that He may be your guide. Imagine working as a Neurosurgeon, you definitely need His guidance and His touch, to do things right and bring healing to His children. By calling on Him to bless the rest of your finances and showing gratitude that He provided for you in the first place. This shows Him that you remember who He is and what role He plays. He is so much more to us, let us not take Him for granted. He deserves all the glory and honour and He will receive it through our lives. Do not take glory for your self, He is behind every victory!

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
