Servant Jocelyne opened the message by recalling the morning’s cry of the heart: “The Lord God Shama, the God who sees,” emphasizing that even in moments of suffering, death, or danger, God watches over us and intervenes as “the fourth man.” The servant then urged the believers to grow in spiritual maturity: even those with only a few years of faith must demonstrate the maturity of several decades, becoming useful instruments rather than burdens for God. Finally, Servant Jocelyne concluded by inviting everyone, both in person and online, to receive the hand of God, to proclaim an “Amen,” and to praise the Lord, reminding them that every heart must be nourished by the Word in order to bear more fruit.
Servant Roxane developed the metaphor of the vinedresser, the vine (Jesus), and the branches (the believers), emphasizing that true fruit does not come from the trunk but from the branches that receive the sap—the Word of God. She declared that outward connection (services, roles, appearances) is not sufficient; what is needed first is an inner connection, an awakening (“wake up”) to the reality of a dry heart that, despite outward appearance, is not receiving the sap. She presented the three stages of “abiding”: awareness, the fight against temptation (“fight or die”), and the ongoing walk (“journey”) of sanctification, stressing that daily battle is necessary so that the fire of God is not destructive but redemptive. Applying this principle, she mentioned a vision of an avoided accident concerning Sister Vanessa, calling for fervent prayer and consistent presence in the assembly. She concluded by exhorting the congregation to praise Jesus, lift their hands, and become fruitful branches that bear “much” fruit to the glory of the Father.
Introducing his message with John 15:7—“If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you”—Servant Plenny explained the essential principle of Christian prayer. He emphasized that many prayers remain unanswered because believers do not remain in the words of Jesus: “When we ask, we do not keep the words.”
According to him, the condition for any answered request lies in union with Christ: when the words of Jesus truly dwell in the heart, the requests become aligned with the divine will, while without this connection, they remain vain. Servant Plenny therefore calls the assembly to pray not according to their own words or desires, but according to the words of Jesus, stating: “You must keep the word of Jesus in your heart; only then are our prayers heard and the answers come.” He also warns that the devil takes advantage of the absence of this communion: “When we do not keep the words, the enemy’s plan takes over.” Hence the importance of remaining in Christ every day, reading, meditating, and letting the Word guide every request. In conclusion, Servant Plenny encourages everyone to remain in the Vine, Jesus, and to let His word persist daily: “Thus, when you ask, you will receive, because you have kept the words of Jesus.” In essence, his message reminds us that the power of prayer flows from faithfulness to keeping the words of Jesus and remaining intimately united with Him.
