Good Friday | The Way of Fruitfulness

“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit, fruit that lasts.”

(John 15:16a)

ABIDING PRODUCES FRUITFULNESS

The ABIDER daily in the WORD, they listen for the WHISPER of the Day.

“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me.  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.

(John 15:4-5)

How can I be intentional about ABIDING daily?

ABIDING BRINGS ANSWERED PRAYER

The ABIDER prays God’s Will from the WORD wherein they abide.

“I no longer call you servants for a servant does not know his masters will, but I call you friends. … whatever you ask in My name the Father will give you.”  (John 15:15a+16b)

PRUNING PRECEDES GROWTH

The more your life produces, the more The Father to increase fruitfulness.

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.  Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and .  You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.”

(John 15:1-3)

ABIDING CREATES COMMUNION

The to the table.

“And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them saying, ‘This is My body, which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’ Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.’” (Luke 22:19-20)
