DON’T BE DISCONNECTED
Memorise: 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. John 15:4
Read: John 15:1-5, Bible in one year:
Ezekiel 39:25-40:49, Revelation 18:1-18
There are many people who started very
well in life but ended very badly. If only you look around you, you will see
the giants of yesterday who have become the weaklings of today. This is not the
design of God but that of the devil. God calls the weak and foolish so that He
can demonstrate His power and ability through them. The Almighty God
specialises in bringing the hopeless out of a horrible pit. For those who put
their absolute trust in God, He is always ready to set their feet upon the
rock; the devil on the other hand, is all out to disconnect man from his source
of relevance. He is still busy today doing what he knows how to do best (John
10:10). The more you relate to God as weak and foolish, the more He puts in you
the strength and wisdom required to live victoriously on earth. The more you
yield yourself to Him, the more He is committed to seeing you bear fruits. The
moment there is a disconnection between you and God, you will begin to
struggled and experience fruitfulness.
When God called Joshua to step into the
shoes of Moses, He promised to be with him. He also promised that throughout
his life, no man would be able to stand before him (Joshua 1:1-5). But along
the line, the chain of connection was broken because someone touched an unclean
thing. This resulted in defeat, contrary to the promise of God (Joshua 7:5-6).
Anytime we get disconnected from the source of our strength, we get exposed to
danger and become victims in the hands of those who should not be able to stand
before us. Obedience to the Word of God always generates the required strength
for our assignment. Sustained obedience is a basic requirement for sustaining
our connection with the source of our strength. Connection to our Father is
necessary to maintain open doors. If you continue to obey God and refuse to
give in to any disconnection ploy, the Lord will constantly supply all you need
to be fruitful in this life. If you give room to the devil, do not expect God
to intervene. This is why you must vehemently resist the devil, stand on God’s
Word and continue to please God in every situation.
One way to ensuring that there is no
disconnection between you and the source of your power is by preaching the
gospel (John 15:2). Apostle Paul all through his missionary journeys never got
disconnected, because he was an addicted soul – winner. Paul won several souls
to the Lord in Ephesus
Prayer point
Father, help me to remain connected to
You at all times.
