Nugget: Called into fellowship
I am the vine, you are the branches. The one who abides in me while I abide in him produces much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5 ISV
This is one of my favourite scriptures which became a blessing to me some few years ago. I kept reading this very chapter and it kept blessing me and blessing me and I am still being blessed by it. As Christians our primary source of blessings is the Word and nothing else unfortunately we neglect it in search of another blessing which is not even a blessing.
After carefully reading through this very piece of scripture, one thing becomes obvious when it comes to what it seeks to communicate. This nothing apart from "fellowship" with Jesus Christ which most of us have ignored or do not pay much attention to. We abiding in Christ and vice versa implies Christ wants to fellowship with us. When this happens, we become more like him and less like our old self which does not bring God the glory. This is because in fellowship, the parties often share what they have.
Faithful is the God by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son Jesus the Messiah, our Lord. 1 Corinthians 1:9 ISV
Therefore in our fellowship with Jesus, he takes our weakness and gives us his strength to make us overcomers in all the challenges we face. In a similar vein, his strength makes us fruitful as Christians which is why we need to maintain a healthy fellowship with the Lord. We were never called to be independent of God but to remain connected to him always. Therefore make time for him and not the things that do not build up.
