JOHN 15:1-5
I AM THE TRUE VINE, AND MY FATHER IS THE HUSBANDMAN. EVERY BRANCH THAT BEARETH NOT FRUIT HE TAKETH AWAY: AND EVERY BRANCH THAT BEARETH FRUIT, HE PURGES IT THAT IT MAY BRING FORTH MORE FRUIT.
NOW YE ARE CLEAN THROUGH THE WORD WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU.
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.

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Blessings, peace, and abundance of fruit be multiplied in you. It is needful to remind you that there is a vine that is not true.  However, the Lord continues to compel his chosen to abide in him. Those who are called by his name must abide in the true vine. Abide in the truth and that father, the gardener, he will do the work so that you can bring forth fruits of righteousness, but you must abide in him.
It is imperative that we strive to bring forth fruit unto God. If we want to be pleasing unto God, we must desire to be fruitful in every way. If we do not have a vision of growth, then the people perish. To grow from faith to faith and from glory to glory we must realize that we are called to a “higher calling” in Christ Jesus. This is a royal priesthood. Accept the call and “stir-up” the gift of the spirit so that you can impart to other and grow that much the more spiritually.

2 Corinthians 12:7-10
But the manifestation of the spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
For to one is given by the spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same spirit;
To another faith by the same spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same spirit;
To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
But all these worketh that one and the self-same spirit, diving to every man severally as he will.

So, when we submit ourselves completely unto God and present ourselves as a living sacrifice, the Lord will “stir-up” the gift in us, the gift making room, and we will begin to see the spirit manifest with works of confirmation of the faith in our lives and bringing forth the fruit the Lord desires for himself. Therefore, miracles, signs, and wonders will follow the believer. God gave gifts unto all men. We must use them to be fruitful and multiply. If we bear no fruit then God will cut down the branches and cast them into the fire. Therefore, we know and it is confirmed that we his disciples when we bear much fruit and therein we glorify God. #watch #pray #praise #seek
