PREACHER OF THE DAY:PROPHET OT
MESSAGE TITLE: OBEDIENCE AND FAITH
SCRIPTURE REFERENCE: MATTHEW 21 VERSE 18-19
The plan of God about us is to be fruitful and multiply. Failure to be fruitful and multiply displeases God.
The scripture tells us about the man Christ who came across a fig tree. The Messiah was hungry at the time, as such he commanded the tree to bear fruits and it failed. The Lord cursed the tree. Tomorrow Him and his disciples passed the same tree, Peter told the Master that the tree has withered yet it was green yesterday. Christ told him that He cursed the tree because of its failure to obey His command and voice.
The fig tree is likened to believers who fail to obey the voice of God. Being unfruitful is a curse.
In psalms 1 verse 3, God told us to be like trees planted by rivers of water that bears fruits in seasons. The Lord expect us to be fruitful regardless of economic decline or situations because He gave us a special kind of wisdom to always see good in situations. God also gives believers secrets in His kingdom before a situation comes, that is why there should not be an excuse in a believer who is not prospering. Failure to bring fruit can make the Lord bloat us away from His presence.
Time wasted never returns as such we should do anything and everything to be fruitful in what we do. Wrong mindset has made us poor that's why prosperity is killed. A poor mindset is deadly hence needs to be changed. As believers we need to think abroad, understand what we carry and walk with integrity.
Obedience is better than sacrifice, let us learn to be obedient and we will reap fruits .
Obedience and faith can not be separated. There is no how you can have faith and lack obedience.
TRANSFORMED BY HIS PRESENCE
