WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL,STAY CONNECTED TO JESUS,KEYS TO A FRUITFUL LIFE

By
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:4-5 The two pear trees in my yard produced a lot of delicious pears last summer. Did those branches have to strain and strive to produce those pears? No! The only requirement for the branch to grow fruit was to stay connected to the tree. Recently, a hailstorm broke a small branch off one of the trees. That branch, lying on the ground, will sadly never produce any more fruit. So the secret to being fruitful, as Jesus said in  John 15 , is to abide in Jesus — that is, to stay connected to Him. Unfortunately, that’s not as easy as it sounds. How can we practically stay connected to Jesus every day and live a Godly life? Here are a few ways: Commit Yourself Daily to Jesus Paul says in...

Many of the farmers and their families had contracted it and many died. The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home,(probably only two rooms back then). The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and placed it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this,he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy. Now there is a P. S. to this for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues.
