The Faithful Servant And The Evil Servant. ( Article – MP3)

The Need Of Diligence.

“Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately.

Expectation Of The Master’s Return.

Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them. And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

Who Qualifies As A Faithful Servant?

Then Peter said to Him, “Lord, do You speak this parable only to us, or to all people?” And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?

Abiding In The Vine. ( Article – Mp3 )

Jesus Is The True Vine.

I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman. He takes away every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, and He purges every branch that bears fruit, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. John 15: 1-3.

Total Dependence In The Vine.

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abides in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in Me. I am the Vine, you are the branches: He that abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without Me you can do nothing. John 15: 4-5.

Abide In Jesus’s Word.

If a man does not abide 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. If you abide in Me, and My words shall abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15: 6-7.

Fruit Bearing Glorifies The Father.

Herein is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be My disciples. Read More... “Abiding In The Vine. ( Article – Mp3 )”

Believers Must Be Fruitful Branches. ( Article – MP3)

Jesus Was Fruitful.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit.  He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.  If any man serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there shall also My servant be: if any man serves Me, him will My Father honour. John 12:24-26.

Good Trees Bring Forth Good Fruit.

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but are ravening wolves inwardly.  You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? Every good tree brings forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree produces evil fruit.  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit; neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.  Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.  Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. Matthew 7:16-20

Hearing And Understanding The Word Brings Forth Fruit.

Hear you therefore the parable of the sower.  When anyone hears the Word of the Kingdom and does not understand it, the wicked one catches away from what was sown in his heart. Read More... “Believers Must Be Fruitful Branches. ( Article – MP3)”

The Request Of The Mother Of James And John. ( Article – MP3)

Then came to Jesus the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping Jesus, and desiring a certain thing of Him. And Jesus said unto her, What do you ask of Me? She answering said unto Him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on Your right hand, and the other on the left, in Your Kingdom.

But Jesus answered and said, you do not know what you are asking for. Are you able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They said unto Jesus, We are able. And Jesus said unto them, You shall drink indeed of My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on My right hand, and on My left, is not Mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of My Father. Matthew 20 : 20-23

Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask.” And He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?”  Read More... “The Request Of The Mother Of James And John. ( Article – MP3)”
