John 15:4-5 [NKJV] ‘As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.’

DAILY READING; Acts 17:1-15; Judges 6; Job 36

On 2nd February, 2018, Christian Broadcasting Network founder Pat Robertson suffered an embolic stroke at his home in Virginia Beach. Emergency medical personnel were immediately alerted and he was rushed to the nearest stroke center where he received treatment. Surprisingly, after only eighty minutes he was responsive and moving all of his limbs. He was discharged two days later and recovered fully at home.
For the 87-year-old Pat, the stroke should have been devastating, but rather he made a miraculous recovery because of his dedication to Kingdom service.
Speaking recently about the incident, Pat Robertson’s son, Gordon said that while his father was in the hospital, he observed something remarkable. While watching over him as he slept, Gordon was amazed to see his father praying in his sleep.
Over and over again, he was asking God, “What do You want me to do?”
Gordon was surprised that his father was not thinking about rest or slowing down after suffering a stroke but was already gearing up for his next assignment.
With such a heart panting to do God’s will, no wonder, Pat Robertson received a miraculous healing from what could have been a crippling illness. Ten days later he was back on air, hosting the 700 club, fulfilling his life calling.

God is committed to our healing and preservation when we are committed to seeking first His Kingdom.
Our fulfillment in life lies in walking in God’s purpose for our lives. The pain and the problems that sometimes come our way cannot stop us as long as we stay focused on our vision and calling.
Pursuing after your vision will keep you flourishing even in the most difficult circumstances. It is only where there is no vision that people perish.
As long as we are bearing fruit, God will prune us, fertilize us and ensure we produce greater fruits. But anyone who refuses to be fruitful runs the risk of being cut down as exemplified in the parable of the unfruitful fig tree in Luke 13. For three years, the owner came seeking fruit but found none and so decided to cut it down. This parable shows that God comes annually to check on our productivity. He expects us to have grown, blossomed and prospered where He has planted us.
Therefore, each year we must ensure we are running with our God-given vision and making progress. This means we cannot procrastinate or put on the back-burner what needs doing today. Isaiah 55:6 says: “Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near. .’
Our fruitfulness will be determined by the extent to which we seek the Lord and abide in His word.
Jesus says in John 15:4-5 [NKJV] ‘As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.’
The New Year comes with another opportunity to ensure we have a good record of fruit-bearing in God’s Kingdom. Let us ask God for the wisdom to maximize our days
As our hearts pant after God, surely He will release to us overflowing blessings of fruitfulness, progress, health, and divine preservations.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to make seeking Your Kingdom top priority in my life. As I do, I thank You Lord, for overflowing my life with multiplied blessings of divine health, prosperity, fruitfulness and preservation in Jesus Name
