Connecting To God.

I will worship You for who You are
I will worship You for who You are
I will worship You for who You are
Jesus...

[Christ speaking] "I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly" [that it might be full and meaningful] (John 10:10).

Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life. "The wages of sin is death" [spiritual separation from God] (Romans 6:23).

Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life. "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me'" (John 14:6).

Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and to make us what He wants us to be.

It was great, to take some time, quiet before the Lord, listening, meditating upon His word. Though for some of them it was the first time, got quite scared and anxious about it. I thank the Lord for speaking to each and everyone in the group through the activity.

We meditated upon Psalms 1, it reads:

Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Through that God, placed upon my heart "things to do this holiday". I was to bear much fruit as a vision He gave me suggest. So i guess thats what i'm gonna do this holiday to NS. To meet up with more youths, spend time with them and maybe God willing outreach to others.

“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." John 15:5

What does it mean to abide in God ?
Abiding in Jesus must be the central fact of your life.
Abiding in Jesus is the key to bearing fruit. .
Abiding in Jesus means spending quality time with Him.
Abiding in Jesus means having fellowship with other believers.
In essence: To love God and your neighbour.

And what fruit do we bear?
We bear the fruit of the spirit - Love.
