Memorise: “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.” – John 15:4
Read: John 15:4-5
4.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.
5.I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

MESSAGE:
Every electrical appliances has a power source. Without a power source, an electrical appliance will be useless because it becomes just another object occupying space. Christians are like electrical appliances too, we simply become a mere object when we are not connected to our power source (God). When a Christian does not know this, he begins to wonder why he keeps struggling in several aspects of his life when all he has to do is to check if he is still connected to God.
The way in which any father remains connected with his children is through communication. So also, you must be in constant communication with God to stay connected to Him. you must pray regularly. When you constantly communicate with God through prayers, you display very clearly your dependence on Him. You also have to study His word; nothing gives direction and guidance like the word of God. When you study God’s word, you are getting to know Him better, and every chapter of the Bible you read leaves you more connected to your power source.
Prayer Point: Lord Jesus, I recognize that you are my power source. Please help me stay connected to You all the days of my life.

Hymn 8:
- Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise. - Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above,
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love. - To all life thou givest to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish, but nought changeth Thee. - Great Father of Glory, pure Father of Light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All laud we would render; o help us to see;
‘Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee. - Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
