Spiritual Digest for the Day 26Nov2017

BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5 NKJV). ****************** QUOTE FOR THE DAY If you will not just be a channel of the blessings of God, but a partaker of His blessings, you need to be a “branch” that will abide in Jesus Christ and be ready to bear fruit – fruit that will last. - Bayo Afolaranmi ******************** PRAYER/ACTION FOR THE DAY Pray that you will not just be a channel of the blessings of God, but also a partaker of these blessings.

DO NOT JUST BE A CHANNEL OF BLESSINGS!

Dearly Beloved, DO NOT JUST BE A CHANNEL OF BLESSINGS! “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5 NKJV). It is a common thing to hear people wish to be a channel of the blessings of God to others. That is my wish also. In fact it is part of the goals of my life right from my childhood. However, the desire of Jesus Christ is that His followers are not only channels of His blessings to others, but that they also partake in the blessings. He articulated this in His categorical statement quoted above. What is a channel? A channel can be defined in many ways especially in information and communication technology. However, simply for the purpose of this message, a channel is a route or tool through which something passes from one end to the other. Conduit, hose, tube, pipe, passage, among others are other words used for channel. They all have one thing in common: they do not benefit through what they pass on. They are just intermediary to pass the thing from one place to the other. Many people are just channels of the goodness and blessings of God to others. They are like signposts. They allow God to use them mightily to bless others, but they are not partakers of the blessings. No wonder, they are not bearing the desired fruit that Jesus Christ wants them to bear. Note that such people abound in the world today. They are the ones that Jesus Christ will tell that He never knew in spite of the fact that they “prophesied in [Jesus’] name, cast out demons in [Jesus’] name, and done many wonders in [Jesus’] name” (Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV). Jesus Christ did not refer to His followers as channels, but branches. For a branch of a tree to remain alive and bear fruit, it will remain in the tree, get savor from the tree, make use of the savor, and then bear fruits. A branch that does not remain in the tree cannot get savor from the tree, and if it does not get savor, it will wither and become useless except becoming utility for fire and other purposes that are not originally designed for it. Jesus Christ vividly gave this description in His analogy of the relationship that His followers should have with Him (see John 15:2, 6). Are you a branch of Jesus Christ or just a channel of His blessings to other people? If you will not just be a channel of the blessings of God, but a partaker of His blessings, you need to be a “branch” that will abide in Jesus Christ and be ready to bear fruit – fruit that will last (see John 15:2, 5, 16). Do not just be a channel of blessings! In His service, Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor). Prayer Point: Pray that you will not just be a channel of the blessings of God, but also a partaker of these blessings.

BEAR FRUIT TO THE GLORY OF GOD

Dearly Beloved, BEAR FRUIT TO THE GLORY OF GOD “By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples” (John 15:8 NKJV). Can you imagine planting a tree that refuses to bear desired fruits? What would you do to such tree? How would you treat a tree that bears its fruits in due season? The discourse of Jesus Christ that is recorded in John 15 was part of His valedictory speech to His disciples. It is believed by some Bible scholars that the discourse was delivered in the Temple where there was a golden vine symbolizing the life of Israel as God’s vine. Other scholars believe that it was delivered on the Mount of Olives where there were many vine and olive trees. This discourse was the last “I AM” saying out of the seven of such sayings in the Gospel of St. John. Jesus Christ declared: “I am the true vine.... you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit..." (John 15:1, 5 NKJV). The analogy of the vine was familiar to the disciples of Jesus Christ because in the Old Testament, the people of Israel were referred to as God’s vine (Psalm 80:8-16; Isaiah 5:1-7; Jeremiah 2: 21). It was a pity that the people of Israel failed God in not bearing the desired good fruit. They became wild vine. So, Jesus Christ referred to Himself as the true Vine because He was doing the will of His father, and His personal life testifies to it. The secret of this was that God, the Gardener, was in charge of all He was doing. Vine plant is the common grape vine that is slender and trails on the ground or climbs supports. It is one of the prominent plants in Palestine. You can liken it to any prominent tree in your neighborhood. In John 15:5, Jesus Christ referred to His disciples, and every Christian, as the branches of the vine. A branch cannot exist on itself. For it to survive, it must remain in the plant. Moreover, its main purpose is to bear fruits. Christians are to bear fruits from Jesus Christ. They are not to produce the fruits. To bear is to bring forth from another thing, but to produce is to make, create, grow, or manufacture something. The fruits that we are to bear involve a godly life (Matthew 7:16-20), and virtues of character (Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:9; Philippians 1:11). We are not just to bear fruit, but also to bear much fruit (John 15:2, 8). This is the reason why Jesus Christ will prune us to bear much fruit – fruit that will last (John 15:2, 8, 16). However, to be able to bear fruit for Christ, Christians have to remain in Him (John 15:4). Just as an ordinary branch has to remain in the plant for it to survive, we also have to remain in Jesus Christ. If we do not remain in Him, we are like a cutaway branch that will soon wither and become firewood. Jesus Christ said it point-blank that, “…for without Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5b NKJV). Are you in Christ? Jesus Christ promised two things for those who remain in Him and bear fruit for Him. These two things are: growth (John 15:2) and answer to prayer (John 15:7). He promised to prune everyone that is bearing fruit for Him. In Palestine every year, gardeners prune their vines. They cut off the dead wood, which has no life in it, and trim the living branches so that their yield will be greater. Likewise, God is dressing every fruitful believer to make him/her grow in the faith. Furthermore, if anyone remains in Jesus Christ, his/her prayers will be answered (cf. Proverbs 28:9). God is ready to do whatever he/she wishes, provided it is in accordance with God’s will (John 14:13; 1 John 3:21-22; 5:14-15), and will give God glory (cf. John 15:8). The main thing for bearing fruit for Jesus Christ is for God to be glorified (John 15:8). Anything that would not bring glory to God is not worth doing (see John 2:11; 1 Corinthians 10:31; 1 Peter 5:8-11). The desire of the Lord Jesus Christ is that you bear fruit that will glorify God. Are you bearing fruit for Jesus Christ to the glory of God? In His service, Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor). Prayer Point: Pray that you will continue to bear fruit for Christ so that God will be glorified in your life.

BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard; he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping. For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver. You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance" (Psalm 66:8-12 NIV). ****************** QUOTE FOR THE DAY Do not be dismayed! Your trial is for a time. You are just passing through it. The Lord is with you. He will bring you out of it, and make you more refined and purer than gold. You will soon praise Him! - Bayo Afolaranmi ******************** PRAYER/ACTION FOR THE DAY Pray that you will be able to thank God before the end of this year for a particular thing you have been looking unto Him.

YOU WILL SOON PRAISE GOD

Dearly Beloved, YOU WILL SOON PRAISE GOD "Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard; he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping. For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver. You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance" (Psalm 66:8-12 NIV). Psalm 66 is one of the thanksgiving psalms. It is a call to praise God for His awesomeness, power, glory, wonderful deeds, sovereignty, and guidance over His people. However, the psalmist gave another reason for praising Him: He brought out His people out of difficulty. In doing this, He tested them; He make them pass through fire of life (as a raw silver or gold would) so that they would be refined; He made them suffered many hardship; He even allowed people to maltreat them. Nevertheless, at the end, He brought them to a place of abundance. Indeed, He is to be praised! God is dealing with His people the same way today. He tests them. He allows them to pass through many difficulties of life. At times, He allows people to maltreat them. However, in all these, He is with them. He promised, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze" (Isaiah 43:2, NIV. See also Psalm 23:4; 46:4-7; 91:15; Isaiah 41:10). He will soon make them overcome all these difficulties, and they will praise Him. What are you passing through now? What is your own test of faith? Are you been maltreated presently? Are you in "the valley of the shadow of death" right now? Do not be dismayed! It is for a time. You are just passing through it. The Lord is with you. He will bring you out of it, and make you more refined and purer than gold. You will soon praise Him! In His service, Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor). Prayer Point: Pray that you will be able to thank God before the end of this year for a particular thing you have been looking unto Him.

COME YE THANKFUL PEOPLE, COME

Dearly Beloved, COME YE THANKFUL PEOPLE, COME “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name” (Psalm 100:4 NKJV). As somebody who grew up partly in a farm settlement setting and partly in what can be referred to nowadays as a traditional church setting, I can easily identify with Henry Alford, a 19th century Anglican clergyman, who composed the hymn “COME YE THANKFUL PEOPLE, COME” which has become a traditional harvest song that is now associated with Thanksgiving Day. Like any other person who has ever lived in a farming community, I know the importance that is associated with the harvest time. The fruit of the work of the whole year depends on the harvest. This cannot be accomplished until the crop is ready and which must be harvested diligently lest pests or weather spoil the harvest. During the busy harvest season, farmers literally work tirelessly to get the job done. The farmers would relax and celebrate only after the harvest. Well, if you have not had that experience, you should be able to appreciate the urgency of deadlines, the joy of an important job well done, and the relief of a break after a busy time at work. It was against this background that Reverend Henry Alford composed the popular harvest or thanksgiving hymn. He called on thankful people to come and raise the song of “Harvest Home” because all the harvest of the year is safely gathered in before the winter storms begin. He attributed this harvest to divine provision. So, people that are thankful should come to thank God in His temple. Alford affirmed that the whole world is God's own field where several things are happening. He then prayed that the Lord of harvest would enable us to have good harvest from this “field”. He further reminded people that the Lord shall come one day to take the harvest home, that He shall ask His angels to cast “the tares” in the hell fire, but the “fruitful ears” will be stored in the “garner” for eternity. This is in comparison to the parable of Jesus Christ in Matthew 13:24-30 and the words of John the Baptist in Matthew 3:12. Lastly, Alford prayed that God should quickly come with His angels to bring His final harvest home by gathering His people in, so that they may be free from sorrow and sin, and be forever purified and abide in His presence. At a glance, this hymn is a hymn thanksgiving and/or harvest. It is indeed good to thank God for thus far He has helped us this year. However, the lyrics of the hymn are more about the final harvest that God will do in the future. As you celebrate the Harvest and/or the Thanksgiving this year, are you ready for the last harvest when God will “reap” you and place you in the place that you rightly belong? Will that place be in His everlasting presence or the eternal damnation in the lake of fire? In His service, Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor). Prayer Point: Pray that you will be able to live your life in thankfulness of God, and in a way that He will be able to harvest you into His presence forever.
