Be successful.

This is the ambition of every individual. It may not always work, but you always dream. Your plans fail, it does go as you wish, the out put is not encouraging, the result is nor as good as you expected ........
These are certain comments of the common palace

What can be done to remedy all these shortcomings? To be more assertive? Be obstrimistic with a lot of positive thinking? Selfrealisation, self actualisation .. develops self esteem or even have a behavior therapy? These are all good steps to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.The root cause is seen in John 15:5. Jesus said, "Apart from Me you can do nothing".

Do you find it difficult to believe? "See people around us, who get promotions, make plenty money... they are not better than we spiritually?" You ask.

It is possible for a person to have lucrative jobs & business and sophisticated family and even do spiritual work, lead the church and teach the Bible ... to what effect? No fruits. No peace of mind, no satisfaction, no hope and his conscience convicting him.

Let me go a step further to say: When Jesus said "You can do nothing." He meant producing fruits of the spirit. Galatians 5: 22,23. A man can never remain inert and dorment as a log of wood. If he does not bear fruits of the spirit, he definitely bears fruits of the flesh!

When you are born again, you are born again in Christ. Then on you are commanded to abide in Him (John.15:4) to bear fruits of the spirit.

This is a command from the King of Kings. Disobeying this command is detrimental. Read Jn.15:6. With great fear about one who does not abide in Him. He is thrown away, it dries up and his works are burnt! He shall suffer loss but he himself shall be saved, yet so as through fire. (1cor:3:11-15)

Does it mean termination of life?! Does it mean cortailing His blessings and previsions?! We need to tremble in the presence of the almighty God.

He is a gracious God, kind and long suffering to those who are obedient , but a consuming fire to those who disobey. Kindly take a minute to look in to your heart.

Let us show Him our reverence with due faithfulness.
