HOW TO AVOID GOING DOWN IN LIFE
Author: Prophet Cosmas Inyang
BEAUTIFUL BIBLE VERSE:
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
John 15:6 (King James Bible)
To wither means to slowly decay, dry up, decline, lose vigor or freshness, fade or shrink.
Withering starts when something is disconnected from the source that powers it or keeps it alive.
Without staying in vital union with The Lord Jesus, you can do nothing.
If one does not stay in vital union with The Lord Jesus, such a person will begin to wither.
Listen to what The Lord Jesus is saying in John chapter 15 verse 4 (Amplified Bible)
Remain in me, and I will [remain] in you.
Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me.
This means that when one is not seeing results, it is important for one to check if one is still in vital union with The Lord Jesus.
This also means that if one is withering or if one is experiencing a decline in results, one should also check if one is in vital union with The Lord Jesus.
This kind of connection can be likened to the connection between a husband and a wife.
Is there a heart to heart connection between you and The Lord Jesus?
Is there a love connection between you and The Lord Jesus?
Do you give total attention to The Lord Jesus?
Do you stay in quality regular communication with The Lord Jesus?
Do you create and have quality time of fellowship with The Lord Jesus?
Do you think about The Lord Jesus always?
Please love and abide in The Lord Jesus, so that you don’t begin to wither.
Refuse to wither.

Say This Out Loud Many Times:
I abide in The Lord Jesus and I will continue to abide in Him.
The Lord Jesus is in me and I am in The Lord Jesus, we are one.
