The true vine
INTRODUCTION:
A true vine, just as it connotes, is a true reflection of the vine character and the ability to regenerate the original desire of the one taking it Lordship. Let me say in a more simplified form that a vine in itself can be any controllable medium with the ability to recreate, reproduce and re-incarnate under the auspices of the controller.
Bearing in mind that the controller can either be God or the devil nurturing their desire through men. As we know that the devil also is out in all manners to lead his own in such a way that befits or manifests his demonic anointing (1 John 4: 1-4). In the same manner, God is calling those that will belong to Him and be His children so that the arrows of judgment will not strike them and that they will not be found wanting at the needed hour, as He alone had been given the full authority in heaven and on earth to judge both the living and the dead (1 Thessalonians 4: 16-17, Revelation 22:11-16 NLT).
Revelation 22:11-12-13-14-15-16 KJV | BIBLE READING |
|---|---|
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning, and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star |  |
Judgment critically belongs to Jesus Christ even as we have read in the bible verses above and one of the strong reasons why God is going to judge all men along with every perverse and corrupt nation is because the message of salvation has been brought to them, but they deliberately refuse to adhere as they prefer darkness rather than light since their deed were evil (John 3: 19).
God is potentially making all effort to reach out to all men so that he will also be justified to greatly deliver His wrath against the children of disobedient on the day of judgement and because He is a just and merciful father, He patiently and quietly waits for you to have received His message of repentance and salvation and to be sure you have received it, He waits still for you to declare it with your mouth (Romans 10: 9-10).
My prayer for you reading this now is that the Lord grant you grace to replace every stoning heart with a fleshy one so you can hear him as at when proper and needed in Jesus name.
A vine also could be a vessel unto honour or dishonour manifesting the nature of God or demonic anointing of the devil which is capable of infiltrating through by an angel of light or darkness as the case may be since every individual has the capability to this effect and which one way or the other transform his environment by the quality of such inherent factor.
The greatest absurdity in God's sight is when a man causes the innocent ones trying to look up to him to fall as our Lord Jesus Christ had deemed it fit that it is better for such a person to have a large stone tied around his neck and throw himself into the ocean than for him to live because greater sorrow in life shall befall him (Matthew 18:6-7 NLT).
KJV, Matthew 18:6-7 6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which belief in me, it was better for him that a millstone was hanged about his neck, and that he was drowned in the depth of the sea. 7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs to be that offences come, but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! | KJV, John 3:19-20-21 19 And this is the condemnation, that light comes into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. |
Beloveth, what vessel are you because the utmost desire of the devil is to manifest his demonic anointing through every individual knowingly or unknowingly especially through those who rightly belong to him by virtue of their sinful nature, to transfer and create seamless temptations that will make people fall, examine yourself today to verify which magnetic flux you are radiating to those innocent ones closer to you either in the area of immoral interaction: talk, dresses, act or sexual immorality, along with every wicked and unjust act? This is common today even in the church that is supposed to be the presence of God. Repent today so that the arrows of judgement will not hit you.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the true vine and we are the branches and are expected to behold the seamless characteristic and produce fruits that befit His nature being holiness as this qualifies us to be His true disciple with eternal value and generational benefit even up to a thousand generations of your descendants (Exodus 20: 5-6).
To produce fruits is to share the light of God that radiates around you to your fellow man, at least the closeth person to you which basically could be through your altitude, words, behaviour and or message of salvation that will lead such individual to Christ (Matthew 5:14-16 NLT).
This year 2019, I will admonish you to start with a life of being a true vine of our Lord Jesus Christ and equally manifest his nature. Know it now, that there is a great eternal value and gain in manifesting the true nature of Christ as this makes you His true disciples and your miracle also may be hanging on that likewise, someone's miracles may also be waiting on that which therefore satisfy the second greatest commandment of God, that says love your neighbour as yourself (Matthew 22: 36-40).
God is love and much of his power is embedded in it. Manifesting this through those within your proximity and those closest to you especially those innocent and vulnerable ones as mentioned above is great gain. The love of God for mankind had prompted His unrelenting call for salvation that you will not perish but have everlasting life (John 3: 16, 1 Corinthians 13: 2).
To be a true vine for Christ then you must remain in Him by obeying all of His commandments as this is the only criteria that will qualify you as one of His branches and which require surrendering your lordship to Him and accepting Him as your Lord and saviour (John 15: 1-2, 8).
Manifesting His nature is entirely not in your power as the ability of man to critically behold the subtle sense is limited but your will to such desire is the first requirement that will grant you the access that you need in other that you obtain the key for the grace that will take total control of your subtle capability (Proverb 16: 9).
One simple fact worthy of note is that, as you act in this direction even as you are one of His branches and actively sharing His true nature, then whatever you ask in his name shall be granted as He has promised in His words, and at this, the mystery for greater spiritual prosperity is set ( John 15:16-17).
KJV, John 15:1-2,8 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. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. |  |
Summary and conclusion:
We have read that a true vine could be a vessel or an individual with a true reflection of the vine characteristic and the ability to regenerate the original desire of the one taking it Lordship which could either be God or the devil and must be a disciple for the one to whom the lordship is accorded, then which vine are ye?
We have read above of the severe warning, made and credited to our Lord Jesus Christ that it is better for those who have made themselves a vine for the devil to hang a large millstone on their neck and be thrown into the deep sea than for them to live because more sorrow shall befall them in life (Matthew 18: 6-7).
We have read that our Lord Jesus Christ is the only true vine for of the father and we are the branches and are to manifest His true nature as a vine to those around us especially those closest to us as this has greater eternal gain (John 15: 1-2, 8, Exodus 20: 5-6).
We have also read that to be a true vine for Christ, then you must obey His commandments and therefore be His disciple and ambassador that represent Him among men.
I will therefore implore you to surrender your whole self to God in this new year 2019 and be one of His disciples which reward comes with greater eternal value even as we have read above. I pray that the Lord gives you the grace to this level of ability in Jesus mighty name.
