FIRE SCRIPTURE
Luke13:6-9(KJV)

6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

MFM Daily Devotional 17 August 2022 (Wednesday) OUTLINE

In today’s Fire Scripture, we can see the discontentment of the owner of the vineyard, seeing that the tree has been unproductive over a long time. He decided to get rid of it, instead of wasting time, the soil on which it is planted, as well as the efforts and other investments made on this fruitless tree. In the same vein, God invests so much in the lives of His children and expects that they bring forth fruits, which in turn should abide in Him.

To see a Christian, who has been unproductive in any way at all, amounts to nothing but spiritual barrenness. Starting with the Great Commission, which is an express command from Jesus that we should go and preach the message of salvation, win souls and make disciples of men for the sake of the kingdom, this call is not just to evangelists, but to all who are believers in Christ.

In one word, you are saved to save others! My question then is, how well do you fair in this area of your Christian life? Do you witness to others about Christ, or are you ashamed to be called “born again “? If truly you have encountered Christ, you should be willing that others come to the knowledge of this Light.

The memory verse makes it clear that we are branches of the True Vine, who is Jesus. Except we are connected, there can be no fruitful reproduction. Even where we are productive, God will do a prunning such that will make the branch more productive while all unproductive branches shall be cut off and cast into fire( John 15:1-5).

The Bible states that a soul winner is wise. Beloved, you can win souls to Christ with or without words through your preaching, singing, and even your behaviour. Many people are watching you in that office, your neighborhood or marketplace. How many can decide to follow you to your local church? Does your talk match your walk? Are you truly light and salt of the world?

If you must become productive, you must bring forth fruits, not just through your character, but such that speaks of who you are and in whom you believe. This calls for a serious self examination. Before the final judgement, why not do a spiritual self-check without pretence or prejudice, and decide to ask for divine help to deal with the very root of spiritual barrenness. God is ready if you are ready to receive the intervention.
