Luke 13:6-9
6 Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.
7 So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’
8 “ ‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it.
9 If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’
Matthew 21: 18-22
18 Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry.
19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.
20 When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.
21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.
22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
Lesson:
On a fig tree it is supposed to bear fruit at the same time as the leaves, but in the Bible there was a fig tree that had asked the lord for help because it was not bearing fruit. The lord decided to put it to sleep and tell the guy that owned the property to dig a trench around it, and if it did not bear fruit it was to be cut down. Now, the lord was also a bit hungry, so he got angry at the tree and cursed it. Then he the next year the fig tree was able to bear fruit. It is very important for us to remember to keep on the lord at all times, because if not, we may fall into satan, and we do not want to do that. We also have to remember that we have parts of our body that might be damaged by satan, he wants us in one peace, but also wants us to pay attention to him, when the end times come you need to be able to eat food and do things you need to do. Without the lord you will not be able to. So, you need to think about the fig tree, and what happened to it. You need to be able to hear on judgement day, good job, enter the joys of the kingdom, not that he never knew you. If he says that, you know you are going to the adversary, so get right with our heavenly father, by talking, asking for forgiveness, and once you do that follow what he tells you. We need to be closer with the lord, and walk with him and talk. All the things we talked about we need to do now. We have to remember we want to be with the lord, we do not want to be with the adversary, so we have to remember to be like the fig tree.
Closing prayer; Heavenly Father we hope and pray that the people reading this get the message behind it. We hope everyone understands and we hope that this will get them to do more with you we also pray everyone will enjoy the lesson as well. In the name of Our lord and savior we pray.
Prayer for salvation; Lord Jesus; Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
