FAITH CAPSULE: Abiding in Him and the word abiding in us is what will bring forth fruit.

John 15:1-11

It is written, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! (Psalm 107:20-21) He sent His Word; it is not written that He will send His word. Jesus the living word of God also declared, “He declared, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” Jesus was not stating I am coming. The word of God is all we need to live in the world of challenge. The word is sent to give us a knowing edge over every circumstance because there is no circumstance that is bigger than the living word of God. God sent His Word to us as power which brings wonderful works to life. Is the word of God working as much as it should be working for all the acclaimed receivers of the word? The Word of God will only work for those who walk in the word of God. Engaging work where the word is being preached is not evidence that word will work for one. Many walk in the word and reap the fruit or their walk. Many also work where the word is being preached but nothing to show for.
Entering where the word is being preached without abiding in the word adds nothing to man. Jesus stated, “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. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.” (John 15:5-7) Jesus stated clearly here that abiding in Him and the word abiding in us is what will bring forth fruit. The Word of God is entertained in the heart before it over takes in the physical. Also, it is not enough to be fluent in the word if there is no abiding in the word of God. God cannot be deceived; God knows what He expects and He will only give back in the same measure for His name to be glorified.

Prayer for today: Ask for the word of God to have a place in your life.
