How does Christ measure your productivity?

“A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.” Luke 13:6

You and I are very much like the fig tree.

God looks at your productivity measured by the Living Water flowing out of your heart. This is the love, joy, and peace of Christ.

If there is an absence of the Living Water, God threatens to cut you down like the fig tree. In His eyes you are no longer useful.

Christ Jesus is a merciful God. He says “I see this person is not fruitful but I will loosen the hardness of heart and nourish him with My life.”

If this doesn’t work after a while, then God will allow the person to be cut down like the fig tree.

The Spirit of God will not always strive with the spirit of man. If you continue to refuse God, He will eventually deal with you like the fig tree.

The productivity of Christ comes to those who are anchored in the tree of life. If you are in Christ you will be productive in your marriage, your relationships with others, and your work.

The productivity comes from the Holy Spirit who fills you with the strength, wisdom, and joy of Christ.

The productivity of Christ is the reflection of the Living Water in your every endeavor. Your faith in Christ is manifested in your words, actions, and demeanor. People see the Living Christ at work in your life.

He lives so you can live!
