TODAY’S TOPIC: Serve to be Saved
Text: John 15:1-10 (NIV)
"15:1. I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
15:2. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
15:3. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
15:4. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
15:5. "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
15:6. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
15:7. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.
15:8. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
15:9. "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
15:10. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love."
SHOWER (Reflection):
If you must succeed in life, you must submit yourself under someone as their servant. Principles of nature is that a master is over the servant, and must go extra mile to protect him. When you serve, you imbibe new virtues, skills, recognitions and so on. Today's scripture is appealing to us to submit ourselves totally to God so that He will give us our various needs. He is our father. No sensible father that will like his child to suffer or not succeed.
