Times like these are days marked by uncertainty. There are pressing fears without and fears within. For the believer, there remains only one constant; it will be the insight you draw from the Word of God that keeps you; it will be this truth that gives you a bearing. When Jesus fed the multitude with one small boy’s offering, He makes a point giving insight into times like these. That day, there was not enough money to feed such a crowd, yet the favor of God at Jesus’ blessing was all that was necessary to transform small things into great. The point is we are living in times when your resources will fail, and it will be more important than ever to understand His ability to take the small things and make great impact, not only in your life, but the lives of many others. In times like these, in the coming days ahead, who are you going to trust? Jesus offers the favor and blessing of God that can unlock the wealth of His kingdom. Like that small boy, He desires to use you and that small gift you possess. What will you do? Times like these require decisive action. What about your gift? It’s greater only in His hand producing the blessing of God–in times like these.

The True Vine
John 15 clearly states, Jesus is the true vine. That is to say, He is the single connection to relationship with the heavenly Father’s love and purposes for our lives. How painful it is when, because of some abuse, we were separated from the love of an earthly father. Yet, I love that thought, Jesus calls you and me to a connection with the heavenly Father—one in which all my insecurities and affections are made whole, because of the Father’s love for me. The truth is, in Christ Jesus, the Father has pursued us to demonstrate how great is that love. This connection demands the relationship we often lacked from others. It calls me to inclusion with His cross by insisting that I follow Him as His disciple and friend. My connection to this ‘true vine’ will bring me to an understanding that He chose me long before I knew Him, and He ordains my life to live in a way so as to bear lasting fruit. It further makes me know He will answer every prayer I pray toward producing fruit and fulfilling His fatherly expectation for my life. If what I am saying makes no sense, it is because you lack the connection to Christ that produces the Spirit of knowledge and truth. It is our desire that you make the connection to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. The word says, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” If you need prayer, contact us and we will help you find the lasting connection that brings to life.
