Open Heaven 6 May 2022 TOPIC: Connected For Fruitfulness
Memorise: 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 15:5
Bible Reading: John 15:1-10 (KJV)
1. I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every
branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4. Abide in me, and! 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. lf 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.
9. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my
love.
10. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
BIBLE IN YEAR:
2 Chronicles 5:1-14, 2 Chronicles 6:1-42, 2 Chronicles 7:1-22
Open Heaven 6 May 2022 Message
The Bible reading of today
tells us that abiding in Jesus Christ is the secret of bearing good fruit. This
is why being born again is just the beginning of a life of fruitfulness;
abiding in Jesus Christ in unbroken continuity is the secret of fruitfulness.
How then can we abide in Jesus?

John 15:7-8 says: “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.”
Here we discover three things: One, Jesus is the secret behind true
fruitfulness and without Him we can do nothing good. Two, abiding in Him is the
attitude required of us to bear good fruit.
Three, living by His words (teachings) is the practical way of abiding in
Jesus Christ. He said, Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me (Matthew 11:29).
Everyone will eat out of whatever fruit he or she bears. Everyone is
capable of bearing good fruit, provided the fellow comes to Jesus Christ through
faith, living according to His word.
John 8:31 says: “If ye continue in my
word, then are ye my disciples indeed.” God is the ultimate in all ways, even
where fruitfulness is concerned. Whoever desires to be fruitful must be
connected to Him.
Psalms 23:1 says that those who follow
God will not lack. John 10:9 further
describes the blessings of those who connect with Jesus: “I am the door: by me
if any man enters in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find
pasture.”
All things work together for good to them that love God and are called
according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
Beloved, these Scriptures above and many more confirm that if you are
connected to God, your all round fruitfulness is guaranteed. Are you connected
to Him?
Open Heaven 6 May 2022 PRAYER POINT:
Father, please keep me connected to You forever, in Jesus name.
