August 7 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 Jesus that I am the branch of the true vine, a channel of Your 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 in the Holy Name of Jesus. To Jesus be the glory and the power and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,

August 6 Devotion - Your DNA in God - Part 20 - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me 

استطيع كل شيء في المسيح الذي يقويني.

Philippians 4:13

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.

«أنا الكَرمَةُ، وَأنتُمُ الأغصانُ. فَمَنْ يَثبُتُ فِيَّ وَأثبُتُ أنا فِيْهِ، يُنتِجُ ثَمَراً كَثِيْراً. فَأنتُمْ لا تَستَطِيْعُونَ أنْ تَفعَلُوا شَيْئاً بِدُونِي.

John 15:5

I can do all things that are in accordance to the will of God and that are aligned with God’s plan for my life, through Jesus Christ who gives me strength, ability, patience, tolerance and wisdom.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You Lord that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Thank You Lord that my DNA reveals that I am a child of God and that I was purchased with the precious blood of Christ. LORD, strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can abide in Jesus and carry out Your will for my life and continue to declare to the world that Christ is my Lord and Saviour and Friend. In the Holy Name of Jesus I pray. To Him be the glory and the power and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,

August 3 Devotion - Your DNA in God - Part 19 - I may approach God with freedom and confidence

..in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.

الذي به لنا جراءة وقدوم بايمانه عن ثقة.

Ephesians 3:12

Christ is the way of access to God; through his mediation we, his people, have audience of God. We can come to The Throne of God with boldness, meaning we have been given liberty of speech to The Father, such as children use in addressing a generous father. We can ask of God without fear all our needs and wants. It is on the basis of such scriptures as these that we need to conclude all our prayers in the name, and for the sake, of Jesus Christ our Lord.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for allowing me to approach You with freedom and confidence. Thank You Lord that my DNA reveals that I am a child of God and I was purchased with the precious blood of Christ and I can come boldly to the throne of our gracious God where I will receive His mercy, and I will find grace to help me  when I need it most. Hebrews 4:16.

Abba Father, strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can continue to declare to the world that Christ is my Lord and Saviour and Friend. Father God, thank You that Your deep steadfast love for me endures forever. Thank You Father for Your abundant blessings in my life, and for the riches of Your grace upon my life. In the Holy Name of Jesus I pray. To Jesus be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion before all time and now and forevermore. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,

August 2 Devotion - Your DNA in God - Part 18 - I have been chosen and appointed to bear fruit

You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

John 15:16

ليس انتم اخترتموني بل انا اخترتكم واقمتكم لتذهبوا وتأتوا بثمر ويدوم ثمركم .لكي يعطيكم الآب كل ما طلبتم باسمي .

The relationship of the disciples with Jesus commenced when they had no affection for him. The same applies to us as followers of Jesus, He graciously inclined us by His Holy Spirit to seek Him; and commenced the work of our personal salvation.

Whatever talents and blessings we possess as Christians, we owe to God, and by the most tender and sacred ties we are bound to be His followers. We are chosen to do good, and to spread as far as possible all the spiritual blessings which the gospel confers on mankind. We must consider Jesus Christ as the great Mediator between God and us, proclaim His salvation, and pray in His name.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and love. Thank You Lord that my DNA reveals that I am a child of God and I  have been chosen and appointed to bear fruit. Thank You Lord that You redeemed me and granted me forgiveness of my sins, according to the riches of Your grace. LORD, I pray that You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can continue to declare to the world that Jesus Christ is The Saviour of mankind and I may bear fruit and that my fruit may last. I pray in the Holy Name of Jesus my Mediator to You Father. To Him be the glory and the power and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,

August 1 Devotion - Your DNA in God - Part 17 - I am assured all things work together for good

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

ونحن نعلم ان كل الاشياء تعمل معا للخير للذين يحبون الله الذين هم مدعوون حسب قصده.

Romans 8:28

The persons in whose behalf all things work for good are those that love God, have accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord over their lives, and consequently, who live in the spirit of obedience.

All tribulations, or afflictions, or persecutions that may arise, God uses them and converts them to contribute to the general good of the person who loves God, and who is led by faith under the direction and guidance of The Holy Spirit.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You Lord that You make all things, including tribulations and afflictions, to work together for my good. Thank You Lord that my DNA reveals that I am a child of God and I was purchased with the precious blood of Christ. Lord I worship You, trust You, praise You, glorify You, stand in awe of You and submit to Your wisdom in all things. Thank You Lord, that in my weakest moments, You assure me that the power of Christ will rest upon me. LORD, I pray that out of Your  glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can always declare to the world that Christ is my Lord and Saviour and Jesus may continue to dwell in my heart through faith. God I pray to You in the name of Your precious Son; my Redeemer and Saviour; the Lord of my life, Jesus Christ. To Jesus be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion before all time and now and forevermore. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
