Title: PRIVILEGES THAT COME WITH VITAL UNION
John 15:4, Psalm 84:10
You must remain in vital union with the Lord if you want to walk in increasing manifestations of your prayers, dreams, visions, destiny and anointing. This is not a year to be casual with God. Jesus said, Abide in me, and I in you. The branch cannot bear fruit of itself except it abides in the vine. There are things that will never open to you as long as you keep your relationship with God at the level of a distant acquaintance. You are not under obligation to someone you are not close to, and they are not under obligation to you. It is the same in the things of God. When you became born again you entered the family, but you must now cultivate that relationship intelligently. There is a general bond we have with all believers as members of the body of Christ, but there is a deeper bond and a stronger manifestation of love that operates inside the local church family that you commit yourself to and service properly.When you become part of a family you take on obligations, you cannot just walk in and out. You must be prepared to nurture and support that relationship. In the same way, there is a difference between being a general Christian and being a member that is in vital union with the Lord and with the brethren He has joined you to. Inside that atmosphere you find the spirit of one for all and all for one. We go out of our way to make sacrifices for one another, and in that flow the love of Jesus is made real in our hearts. The more deliberately you service these relationships, the more you position yourself for the kind of manifestations heaven has in mind for you. You cannot be cold, distant and independent, yet expect the full flow of divine help that belongs to people who are walking in vital fellowship.I want you to bring this understanding into your walk with the Holy Spirit as you continue in this new year. Do not treat Him like a distant relative you remember only in crisis. He is the One that carries the details of your future. Through vital fellowship He will begin to open the programs of your life, one phase after another, and you will not be stranded when you get to junctions in destiny. One day in the courts of God is better than a thousand anywhere else. One day of real communion can give you advantage for years. So make up your mind that you will not just belong to church by name, you will walk closely with the Lord, honour the relationships He has planted around you and stay in that vital union where guidance flows, strength flows and fruits begin to show.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Have you been relating with God and the church family like a casual visitor or like someone who truly belongs to the house. What specific steps will you take from today to deepen your vital union with the Lord and the people He has joined you to.
Prayer: Father, help me this year to move from casual Christianity into vital union with You and the relationships You gave me, and let this union speak in my manifestations. Amen.
