HOW TO ABIDE IN CHRIST
TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: FRIDAY, 19 NOVEMBER 2021
If we want to produce good fruit, grow spiritually, and be more relevance in life, we need to abide in Christ. We need to maintain a life-changing, and ever-growing relationship with Christ. Now the big question is, how then do we abide in Christ?
SCRIPTURE: Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. (John 15:4) ESV
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: The biblical proven ways we can abide in Christ is firstly by praying regularly (1 Thess 5:17). Spending time with God in prayer, telling Him our concerns, expressing our dreams, hopes and fears, and listening to His voice.
Secondly, by reading, studying and meditating on God’s Word daily (2 Tim 2:15). As you study, you ask the Holy Spirit to help you, teach you and transform you by the Word. And again, by living a life of worship to God (Jn 4:24). This entails glorifying God by your life and everything you do (Ps 86:12). Stay Lifted!
NOTE THIS: To abide in Christ is allowing God to work through us, to transform us so that He can transform others through us.
RESPONSIBILITY: Be intentional in your prayers, have a detailed plan to study and meditate daily on the Word of God, and be deliberate in your worship of God, even as you glorify Him with your life.
PRAYER: O LORD, help me to always abide in You, in the name of Jesus’ Amen! (Go ahead and continue to pray)
PROPHETIC WORD: As you continue to abide in Christ, may God never abandons you, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: John 15: 4-5
