THE GOD-MAN SYMBIOSIS

"ABIDE IN ME, AND I IN YOU. AS THE BRANCH CANNOT BEAR FRUIT OF ITSELF, EXCEPT IT ABIDE IN THE VINE; NO MORE CAN YOU, EXCEPT YOU ABIDE IN ME.
IAM THE VINE, YOU ARE THE BRANCHES : HE THAT ABIDES IN ME, AND I IN HIM, THE SAME BRINGS FORTH MUCH FRUIT : FOR WITHOUT ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING. "
-- JOHN 15:4 , 5.

 The above verses establish the imperative of a symbiotic relationship between God and man in the equation of success. In this arrangement, God is the Vine and mankind is the branch. The life of the Vine is the life of the branch. Mankind is a god-kind, of the bloodline of divinity. 
 Under this arrangement, the branch receives nutrients from the stem and produces as well as releases the results for the world to see. The nature and quality of the tree is determined and demonstrated by the fruits and leaves the branch bears. Without the roots and stem, the branch cannot exist talkless of bearing fruits. Even so, without the Father in heaven, we can do nothing; we can't even exist. 
 On the other hand, without us God can still do all things but all will go to waste because there is no one around to take note of what He has done or praise Him for those things. God needs us to carry and showcase His glory and power. Whereas we all need Him to live and thrive, He needs us to manifest His power through. 
 What a mystery that God is glory of man and man is the glory of God in the universe! 
 In the Vine-Branch equation, every individual starts out as a born-success brimming with billions of seeds of greatness. But one of the most tragic realities of life, a reality that pervades the universe, pockmarking history with its ugly ubiquity, is that most people live as defeated failures and die as frustrated losers. 
 THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST NEVER ALLOW THE DEVIL OR ANY SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES OR SITUATIONS TO FOIST UPON YOU. IF GOD IS IN YOUR LIFE, YOUR STORY WILL NOT END UNTIL GLORY BECOMES PART OF IT.
