September 30 Devotion - Your DNA in God - Part 21 - I am the branch of the true vine, a channel of His life

 


“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 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.

 

John 15:1-5

 

انا الكرمة الحقيقية وابي الكرّام .

2 كل غصن فيّ لا يأتي بثمر ينزعه .وكل ما يأتي بثمر ينقيه ليأتي بثمر اكثر .

3 انتم الآن انقياء لسبب الكلام الذي كلمتكم به .

4 اثبتوا فيّ وانا فيكم .كما ان الغصن لا يقدر ان يأتي بثمر من ذاته ان لم يثبت في الكرمة كذلك انتم ايضا ان لم تثبتوا فيّ .

5 انا الكرمة وانتم الاغصان .الذي يثبت فيّ وانا فيه هذا يأتي بثمر كثير .لانكم بدوني لا تقدرون ان تفعلوا شيئا .

Without Jesus we cannot do anything that is spiritually good. Nothing can be accomplished "without Christ”, without His Spirit, grace, strength, and presence. Were it possible for believers that are truly in Him, to be removed from Him, they could bring forth no spiritual fruits or fruits of good works, any more than a branch separated from the vine can bring forth grapes; so that all the fruitfulness of a believer is to be ascribed to Christ, and His grace, and not to our own free will and power.

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You that I am the branch of the true vine, a channel of Jesus’ life. Lord, thank You that my DNA reveals that I am a child of God, and I was purchased with the precious blood of Christ. Thank You Jesus, I pray that You abide in me, and I in You. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can I, unless I abide in You Jesus. Strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can bear much fruit; for without You Jesus I can do nothing. I pray to You Father God, in the holy name of Jesus. To Jesus be the glory, the majesty, the power, and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,

Wagdi Henein
