Extensions of the Vine

Reflections                                    If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. (John 15:7) You will note that this promise begins with the word, “IF.” Jesus promised that, “IF we abide in Him, and HIS words abide in us, THEN, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.” Well, if the words of Christ abide in us – which means His Truth is living in …

A Man of Integrity

1 Samuel 16:1-11(KJV) 16 And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons. 2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the Lord said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord. 3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou …

In Christ Alone

  As we all know, ALL is inclusive of everything with not one thing left out. All lacks nothing. It is complete. With that in mind, I saw how in Colossians 1:15-23, the word ALL appears nine times referring to the Lord Jesus Christ. Can there be any doubt as to the place and supremacy of Christ alone! 1:15&16 “…firstborn of ALL creation because in Him were created ALL things..” 1:16 “…ALL things through Him and for Him have been created.” 1:17 “And He is before ALL things and in Him ALL things consist” 1:18 “… so that in ALL …

The Fruit of the Vine

Reflections   I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. (John 15:5)   To ABIDE in Christ as a branch is possible only if I am first IN HIM. But once that is so, I have to live FROM HIM – I have to live drawing upon His life. Of course this is done by faith. But it also requires that I lose my life. Christ cannot be my life if I am still alive in myself. Jesus …

Witnesses of Christ

Reflections   But you shall receive power because the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:8) What did Jesus say, in John chap.14- 16, would be the work of the Holy Spirit? The work of the Holy Spirit is to reveal Jesus Christ TO us, IN us, and through us. In other words, once Christ dwells in us by joining us to Himself through the Holy Spirit, the work of that Spirit is to …

THE REALITY OF GOD’S LOVE

THE REALITY OF GOD’S LOVE 2 Corinthians 11:23-33 (KJV) 23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. 24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. 25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in …

"Forsake me not, O Lord." Psalm 38:21

Frequently we pray that God would not forsake us in the hour of trial and temptation, but we too much forget that we have need to use this prayer at all times. There is no moment of our life, however holy, in which we can do without his constant upholding. Whether in light or in darkness, in communion or in temptation, we alike need the prayer, “Forsake me not, O Lord.” “Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe.” A little child, while learning to walk, always needs the nurse’s aid. The ship left by the pilot drifts at …

"Then the first will be last and the last shall be first."

Matthew 19:27-30 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? (28) And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (29) And everyone that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit …
