Introduction
Greetings from the Throne of Grace.
Brethren, for me, and I strongly believe that for you too, it's been a thorough learning experience in the fruitfulness journey because it's been a total departure from what had been my understanding of what we have been made to believe fruitfulness in the Kingdom is.
Today, the Holy Spirit will be taking us through what the consequences of unfruitfulness is. That is, what may happen if a true child of God refuses to be fruitful, that is, win souls into the Kingdom.
A major problem with being unfruitful for God is the danger of incurring curses. In our anchor Scripture today, Jesus Christ cursed that fig tree because it did not produce any fruit for the Master to eat. That is the reason many people who go to church today with their ignorant sense of entitlement of, "I am a child of God, I need this, I need that, do come back with nothing. Go and be fruitful and see whether God will not bless the works of your hands or send helpers to you.
Another danger of being unfruitful for God is being totally uprooted from the Kingdom. In Luke 13: 6 - 9, Jesus Christ gave a parable of a man who had a fig tree in his backyard, which he had tended for three solid years without it producing any fruit. The man told his servants thus: ". . . cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?" - Luke 13:7. Can you imagine such a grave consequence? Such is the faith of many Christians today who go to church and keep asking from God without winning any soul into the Kingdom. The terrible thing about it is that they won't know. Never!
The last consequence we will mention today looks like the previous one, but more terrible. In John 15: 6, Jesus Christ gave this grave consequence. He says, ". . . he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." The implication of that is that hell is waiting for any so-called child of God who in unfruitful.
So, as we close today and conclude this piece, being unfruitful in the Kingdom is of grave consequences. While some of the consequences may be shown up and felt now, others may be delayed.
Till we meet tomorrow again on this beautiful journey of FINISHING STRONG together, keep keeping on in Him.
