STOP PRETENDING
By PROPHET Dr. TB BONDERA
Mark.11.13 – And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
Many questions abound on why our Lord Jesus Christ cursed this fig tree when He discovered that it had no fruits.
The existence of leaves on this tree portrayed an image of fruitfulness on the outside, though there were no fruits on the tree because it was not the season of figs. The tree exhibited a pretentious or to some extent a deceptive character of indicating to turn to the right whilst turning to the left. The state of that particular fig tree was symbolic to the state of today’s church.
Today’s church is full of believers with healthy green leaves on the outside but lacking the fruits of the Holy Spirit on the inside. We religiously follow all that is required in church that anyone seeing us serving in the House of God will be deceived by the leaves on the outside. The same mouth that was leading congregants in worship at one moment will in the next minute after church be spitting out unprintable profanities. One starts to wonder how the same well may give sweet and bitter water at the same time.
In other words, we worship God but not in truth and in spirit. This is one of the reasons why we fail to attract Divine Help when we need it most. This year, make it one of your projects to portray a true image of yourself. If there are green leaves on your life on the outside, let them be accompanied by the fruits of the Holy Spirit on the inside. If there are no fruits in you, let those responsible for shepherding your soul know so that they may help you. As a believer, stop living a deceptive life of showing leaves and yet without the fruits to compliment that.
TODAY’S MEDITATION
