12 GREAT LESSONS FROM JOHN 15:1-8

A perculiar attention to the book of John 15:1-8 reveals 12 great lessons that are very expedient or germane to the growth of a christian.These verses unveil the guiding principles to be a fruitful christian,and am sure that if those principles are given an intense attention,the rapid growth of such a christian is indubitable.
Let me tell you that as a christian if you're not bearing fruit(s) you're not growing and not fulfiling the purpose of your existence as well.
However,the concept of bearing fruit can be understood from the physical knowledge of those factors that're paramount to the growth of fruits.In the physical realm,three essential environmental conditions must be fulfilled,which are;Fertile soil,water and sunlight.Having this understanding,we can better use the physical knowledge to explain the factors that will enhance spiritual fruitness.

Therefore,The Following Are The Great Lessons From The scripture(John 15:1-8)
1.God is the husbandman(v1).
2.Christ is the vine(v1,5).
3.Believers are brances in christ(v2,5).
4.Every fruitless branch 'in me' is cut off,withered,gathered with other dead branches and cast into the fire and burned(v2,6)
5.Every fruitful branch 'in me' is purged that it might be more fruitful(v2,5).
6.Every branch 'in me' is clean(pure in heart tby the word if walking in the light(v3,Mt 5:8,John 3:5,Ephesian 5:6).
7.Branches must 'abide in' christ and christ in them to produce fruit(v4,5).
8.The branch is helpless to produce fruitful of itself(v4,5).
9.Christ is helpless to produce fruit through the branch unless it remains in Him(vs4,6).
10.Branches must abide in Christ or be cut off and burned(v6).
11.Branches must not only remain in Christ but must have His words abiding in them or prayers will not be answered(7).
12.God can only be glorified by the branches when they remain in christ and produce much(v8).
The question is that;are you following g these principles to enhance your fruitfulness? Are you abiding 'in Him' (Jesus)? How much of His words you know?
Don't forget that for you to bear fruit,you must abide in Him.If you're not,you will be fruitless.
Jesus is ready to abide in you,if you're ready to abide in Him.
If you don't want to be burned,follow those guiding principles and you'll be glorified by the father which is the best reward of your fruitfulness.
Bear fruits to show forth the glory of God!
God bless you.
