—John 15:1-8
by: Lisa Moore.
Our success in the Kingdom of God is based on abiding in Christ. For it is only when we do that we can bear the fruit He desires. When our focus shifts to worldly ambitions, we are no longer abiding in Christ and we will become unfruitful. We also can become selfish, pulling these words out of context in our prayers: “You said, ‘Ask anything in my name and I shall have it.’” The prerequisite for the answer is to abide in Christ and have His words abide in us. When these criteria are met, we will pray surrendered prayers and our fruit will bear witness to our relationship with Christ.
