I am the true vine and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it that it may bring forth more fruit (John 15:1).

Everything in the earth has a proper place, and if anything is out of the place where the creator intended it to be , everything connected to that particular thing will cease to be productive. For example if a car manufacturer places the tires of the car inside the car, it would cease to work because of the tires not being positioned properly. Think of what it would be like to have your arms in the place of where your feet are. Some people can walk on their hands, but not for very long.

Productivity would be at a minimum because of poor positioning. Families cease to function because of poor positioning. Anytime a child takes on the responsibility of the parent, the home will cease to be functional. If lawyer takes on the responsibility of a doctor then the patient is in trouble. This may seem comical, but many people in the body of Christ are out of place, and because of that, churches remain in an ordinary state instead of an extraordinary state, and the list goes on and on. people who make themselves become something or someone who God did not anoint or appoint them to are doing themselves and others a dis-service because someone needs what they are really called to do or be.

In the above text Jesus first of all describes the Fathers position and then his own. He says my Father is the husbandman or gardner, and I am the true vine and ye are the branches. Jesus said that a mans life does not consist in the abundance of things he possesses, but how many people live for their job, live for their relationship, live for themselves? making anything else your life source other than Jesus, will only cause frustration and disappointment.

The answer is to remain where God places you by remaining in his will. Jesus said not my will, but thine be done. Remain in God's will by obeying his word because obedience is always better than sacrifice. When a person is where they were created to be, productivity happens! The car can move because the tires are on the outside where they belong instead of on the inside. A person can live life the way that it was meant to be lived because the feet and legs are where they were created to be.
