HEAVEN 19 JULY 2021 TOPIC: Abide In Christ
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 15:4-8 (KJV)
4 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.
5 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.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is
withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are
burned.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask
what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 17-18

Heaven 19 July 2021 MESSAGE:
The meaning of the name Emmanuel is not real to many so-called
children of God because they are not abiding in Christ. Therefore, they are
caught in many horrible things in the course of their daily activities. This
scripture reveals our part in the covenant of God being our Present Help in
times of need (Psalm 46:1). We must remember that the Almighty God is forever
faithful. Though the whole world may be unfaithful, He remains faithful to His
word in the lives of His children.

What is our part in this bargain? We must abide in Him, living
holy because He is holy. We should never take a break from living holy. It is
important for all children of God who want to enjoy the presence of Emmanuel to
abide in Him so that He would in turn abide in them.
How can we abide in God? Ecclesiastes 12:13 says:
“Let us hear the conclusion of
the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole
duty of man.”
We must fear God and keep His commandments. Many people today
are taking the grace of God for granted, teaching that we can live in sin and
grace would still abound (Romans 6:1). Mischievously they argue that we are in
the dispensation of grace and thus can do whatever we like. They seem to be
saying “Let us commit sin the more, so that we may make maximum use of God’s
abundant grace!” They claim to believe in God yet do not see Him as the
Consuming Fire (Hebrews 12:29).
Constantly being in the presence of God attracts multiple
blessings. One of these is the opportunity to pray and receive instant answers
to our prayers. Jesus said:
“If ye abide in me, and my
words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my
disciples.” – John 15:7-8
What if we fail to abide in Christ? God forbid, because it
carries terrible consequences. Jesus Christ our Lord said in John 15:6:
“If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is
withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are
burned.”
Abiding in Christ is the ticket to peace and prosperity on
earth, as well as eternity with God. Therefore, let us abide in Him because He
is willing to grant us everlasting life.
