Sourcing From The True Source

"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abides not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." - John 15: 5-6

EXPLORATION

Source can be defined as the beginning or place from which something comes, arises, or is obtained. World English Dictionary defines source as: “The point or place from which something originates.”
The Bible reveals that God is the Source of Life. He is the one that creates life and gives life. (John 1: 1-4; John 14:6) Jesus says: “...I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” - John 11:25 (KJV)

INSPIRATION

It is very important for us to first identify the source on which we want to depend on in our life. This  help us be in total submission and be obedience to the source.  Jesus declared and says: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.” - John 15:1 He also says: “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” -John 14:6
He is the: I AM THAT I AM, God without beginning and without end. Abraham depends on the same source as he was encountered by the Almighty God. The Bible says: - “After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” - Genesis 15:1 (Genesis 17:1) Moses had his own experience of the True Source has God called him and spoke to him right from the fire on the mountain. God, the True Source, declared to Moses saying: “I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.” - Exodus 3:6

“And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” - Exodus 3:14

As we identify our source of Life through in Christ Jesus is God, the True Source, the Vine and the “husbandman” (John 15: 1) We have to confess our sin, believe in our heart that Jesus Christ is Lord and that He died and that God had raised him from the dead (resurrection on the third day) to give us Life —that is we have to accept the redemptive work, by faith, to connect to the Source (Romans 10:9) And if we have done this already, obedience to the faith is the lifeline to remain in the source (The Vine). God expects us to walk in His statutes, upholding His word in our daily life. The Bible says: “Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.” – (Deuteronomy 4:40; Deuteronomy 6:25; Deuteronomy 8:1; Deuteronomy 11:26-27; Psalms 71:3)
“If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.” – (John 15:10; Galatians 5:14)

Here are some of the benefits you manifest as you source and abide in the Vine, the True Source:

1. You become Fruitful. (Genesis 1:28; Psalms 128:3; Psalms 1:1-6)
2. You walk in Divine Authority. God authenticate your Word and Declaration  
3. You’re highly Favored. (Hebrews 1:9; Psalms 90:17; Luke 1:30; Luke 2:52)
4. You manifest and experience Divine Health. (Jeremiah 30:17, 3 John 1:2)
5. You become Successful in all you do and commit to the Source (The True Vine). (Joshua 1:8)
6. You possess a Quality Life—Abundance Life in Christ Jesus. (Isaiah 48:18; Isaiah 29:17; Psalms 1:3)
7. Your seeds draw from the Source of Life in Christ Jesus even through you. (Psalms 128:3)

This week: We have to understand that sourcing from the True Source requires total obedience to remain in the Source (The Vine). And when we chose to walk in obedience our life becomes revelation oriented—the gift of the Spirit of God is manifested and we daily experience His Love, His Presence and His Anointing.  You will be pruned to bring forth more Fruit in Him. The Fruit of the Spirit will be revealed in your Life. Amen! You will be honored above your fellow men. (Hebrews 1:9)
