[Luke 13:1-3, 6-9 KJV] “There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
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. 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? And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down”.
The will of God for us is to be fruitful and productive. He wants us to dwell in safety and fruitfulness. Each one of us must focus and desire to bear fruits and be productive if we want to enjoy divine protection and defence.
The four simple keys to fruitfulness and eternal security are:
Constant renewal:
You must constantly be renewing your mind and heart by the truth. We must constantly be recalibrating our faith and pureness guage. If we throw away faith and pure conscience, we will make a shipwreck of our faith.
Planted:
You will be fruitful and enjoy divine protection if you get planted in the house of the Lord. Psalm 92:12-13 says those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall be flourish in the courts of our God. You must decide to be planted and nothing more. You must be stable and faithful (See Proverb 28:19-22).
Respect time:
Every good thing grows but with time and in its own time. If you really want to be safe and flourishing, allow time. Respect time and allow things to grow with time in its own time. Whatever your hands have touched shall grow and it will not die. It shall grow in its own time.
Allow the gardener to dig and dung around you:
There are certain things the gardener must uproot and there are certain things that must be poured upon or around you. May the Lord uproot anything in your life which He did not plant! May you be endued with power from on high! Receive power from above!
Stay blessed; I love you!
