The Secret Sauce for the Last Days
John 15:4-5 NKJV – Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
5“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing
As Christians we must learn to live our everyday lives regardless of the sphere of influence God has placed you in from this place called” Abiding In Him”.
The reason why the early church in the book of acts was so powerful and so fruitful was not because they used formulas or specific methods,the early church was powerful and effective simply because they learned to Abide in Him.

John 15:6 NKJV – If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
Fruitlessness in one’s life is the direct result of not prioritising his/ her relationship with God.
Just because you are a Christian does not mean you are going to bear fruit in the kingdom, are we supposed to’ the answer is absolutely Yes- but true fruitfulness comes not because you call yourself a Christian, true fruitfulness is the result of abiding in the Vine, When we learn to recognise the importance of our relationship with God and learn to abide in Him.
We only become productive in the kingdom of God to the degree we learn to abide in Him and His word. How the World sees Productivity is different from how the Kingdom sees Productivity’
in the next few weeks I will continue to unpack the importance of this subject which I believe is on the heart of God for this season .
