TOPIC : THE BENEFITS OF ABIDING IN CHRIST

TEXT "Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself except it abide in the vine; no more can ye except ye abide in me." (John15:4)

The word abide in the original Greek means  to be "engrafted". Therefore, anyone that is connected, related or associated with Jesus  have been engrafted into the very nature of Christ. And like the sap is drawn from the earth through the root of the tree determines the general well being of the tree, so also we know that our connection to  Christ positions us for a supernatural lifestyle full of unlimited benefits.  Here are some of such benefits of abiding in Him:

1) You have supernatural fruitfulness.(Jn.5:14). In Christ the yoke of barreness is permanently destroyed and all round fruitfulness is guaranteed in your life

2) You positioned to recieve supernatural answers to prayer (Jn. 15:17). You given access to all that God the Father has. Whatever you want shall be granted 

3) The assurance of basking in the perpetual love of God.(Jn.15:10). The limitless love of God is displayed in all areas of your life.

4) You have peace in the storm of life(Jn.16:33). The challenges of life will not overwhelm or overcome you. 

5)You have the power of a new life. (2Cor.5:17). The goodness and grace of God are renewed in your life daily. 

6) You are excused from a life of shame and reproach in this life and in the life to come (1Jn.2:28). Your connection to Jesus is a confidence booster and shame destroyer. 

7)You are empowered to live above sin. (1Jn.3:6). You abiding in Christ ensures you are not tarnished by sin. The power of Christ upholds you

8) You enjoy divine protection and preservation. The evil one cannot find you to to touch you. Your life is hid with Christ in God in Christ (Col.3:3).
