The obligation of production: Every human being has the obligation to be productive, to be useful, as your consuming the resources of nature....

1. THE OBLIGATION
OF
PRODUCTION
Part-1
Mark 11:12-14

2. THE POINT
GOD HAS PUT A GREAT POTENTIAL IN EVERY CREATURE. EVERYTHING THAT GOD
HAS CREATED HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE. GOD HAS PUT IN EVERY CREATURE,
THE CREATING POWER. GENESIS 1 REVEALS TO US THAT APART FROM THE HEAVENS
AND THE EARTH AND MAN THAT GOD HAD DIRECTLY CREATED, THE REST OF
CREATION CAME FROM WHAT GOD HAD ALREADY CREATED. THOUGH EVERYTHING
IS CREDITED AS BEING DIRECTLY CREATED BY GOD. THE READING OF GENESIS 1
SHOWS CLEARLY THAT SOME CREATURES CAME FROM FORMER CREATED THINGS AT
THE COMMAND OF GOD. THE MESSAGE OF GOD IN THE ACCOUNT OF CREATION IS
CLEAR. WHAT IS CREATED MUST CREATE. IT MUST PRODUCE. IT IS THE WILL OF GOD
FOR THE LAND TO PRODUCE, IT IS THE WILL OF GOD FOR THE SEA TO PRODUCE, IT IS
THE WILL OF GOD FOR TREES AND ANIMALS PRODUCED BY THE LAND TO PRODUCE.
IT IS THE WILL OF GOD FOR MAN TO PRODUCE OTHER MEN. GOD CREATED
WHATEVER HE CREATED SO THAT IT WILL CREATE. GOD SAVED WHOEVER HE SAVED
SO THAT (S)HE WILL BEAR (PRODUCE) FRUIT. GOD HAS DECIDED TO MULTIPLY US AS
INDIVIDUALS AND AS A CHURCH AND HE WILL DO THAT THROUGH YOU FOR
YOURSELF AND THROUGH US FOR THE CHURCH. AMEN.

3. Mark 11:12-14
“12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany,
Jesus was hungry.
13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he
went to find out if it had any fruit. When he
reached it, he found nothing but leaves,
because it was not the season for figs.
14 Then he said to the tree, "May no one ever
eat fruit from you again." And his disciples
heard him say it.”

4. THE VISIBLE IMAGE OF THE INVIBLE GOD
JESUS CAME ON EARTH TO REVEAL THE GLORY
OF GOD. HE CAME TO MANIFEST IN HIS LIVING
PERSONALITY THE FULL NATURE OF GOD THE
FATHER.
WE WILL REMEMBER THAT GOD IS THE
EMBODIMENT OF LOVE AND THAT
THROUGHOUT THE SCRIPTURES JESUS WAS
JUST LOVE INCARNATED.

5. LOVE INCARNATED
THE SUMMARY REPORT OF THE LIFE OF JESUS
IN JESUS IS CLEAR AND SIMPLE IN JOHN 13:
“It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus
knew that the time had come for him to leave
this world and go to the Father. Having loved
his own who were in the world, he now
showed them the full extent of his love.”

6. LOVE PROVED
HE FED ALL WHO WERE HUNGRY
HE HEALED ALL WHO WERE SICK
HE DELIVERED ALL WHO WERE DEMON POSSESSED
HE COMFORTED ALL WHO WERE IN PAIN
HE FINALLY TOOK OUR SINS TO SAVE US FROM
ETERNAL PUNISHMENT
HE REFUSED TO JUDGE ANY OF US AND TO CONDEMN
ANY OF US. HE SAID PLAINLY I CAME TO SAVE AND TO
GIVE LIFE. ANY ONE WHO IS TIRED SHOULD JUST COME
TO ME AND I WILL GIVE HIM RELIEF.

7. THE RARE MOMENTS OF ANGER
WHEN PETER PREVENTED HIM TO GO THE
JERUSALEM TO DIE.
 WITH THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS FOR THEIR
HYPOCRISIY
WHEN THE TEMPLE OF GOD WAS
TRANSFORMED INTO A MARKET PLACE
AND THEN HERE WHEN THE TREE HAD NO
FRUIT PRODUCED

8. THE VIOLENT REACTION OF JESUS
JESUS WAS HUNGRY, HE WANTED FRUITS BUT
THE TREE HAD NO FRUITS BECAUSE IT HAD NOT
PRODUCED.
MAYBE THE TREE HAD PRODUCED BEFORE BUT
NOW!!! THE TREE HAD NO FRUIT PRODUCED
FOR HIM THE CREATOR.

9. THE TIME OF PRODUCTION
THE TIME OF PRODUCTION IS NOW!
JESUS DID NOT CARE THAT THE TREE HAD
PRODUCED BEFORE OR THAT HE IT WAS GOING
TO PRODUCE.
NOW! HE WANTED A FRUIT
AND
NOW! THERE WAS NO FRUIT.
HE GOT ANGRY.

10. THE OBLIGATION OF PRODUCTION
IT WAS NOT THE SEASON BUT STILL JESUS
WANTED FRUITS.
NOTHING CAN JUSTIFY THE LACK OF
PRODUCTION
13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he
went to find out if it had any fruit. When he
reached it, he found nothing but leaves,
because it was not the season for figs.

11. THE OBLIGATION OF PRODUCTION
TO PRODUCE IS A MUST FOR ALL THE
CREATURES OF GOD.
THE LORD CURSED THE TREE!!!
14 Then he said to the tree, "May no one ever
eat fruit from you again."

12. WHY SUCH FURY!!!
JESUS KNEW THE PRODUCTION POWER IN THE
TREE
JESUS KNEW HE COULD PRODUCE INSPITE OF
THE SEASON
JESUS WANTED THE TREE TO PRODUCE AT LEAST
FOR HIM
JESUS CONSIDERED THE LACK OF FRUIT AS A
REBELLION TO HIS CREATIVE POWER
JESUS CONSIDERED THE LACK OF FRUIT AS A
NON PARDONNABLE OFFENSE

13. PENALTY FOR LACK OF
PRODUCTION
THE SENTENCE FOR THE SIN OF LACK OF
PRODUCTIVITY WAS:
TOTALE DESTRUCTION WITH
IMMEDIATE EFFECT
14 Then he said to the tree, "May no one ever
eat fruit from you again."

14. PENALTY FOR LACK OF
PRODUCTION
IF YOU CANNOT PRODUCE THERE IS NO
REASON YOU SHOULD LIVE.
PERISH NOW!!!

15. THE LESSON
GOD WANTS EACH ONE TO MAKE HIS LIFE
FRUITFULL.
YOU MUST BE DOING SOMETHING
WITH CLEAR RESULTS THAT WILL
GLORIFY GOD.

16. THE LESSON
YOU MUST JUSTIFY YOUR LIFE
ON EARTH!

17. THE WICKED AND LAZY SERVANT
Matthew 25:14-30
14 "Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called
his servants and entrusted his property to them.
15 To one he gave five talents of money, to another two
talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability.
Then he went on his journey.
16 The man who had received the five talents went at once and
put his money to work and gained five more.
17 So also, the one with the two talents gained two more.
18 But the man who had received the one talent went off, dug
a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.
19 "After a long time the master of those servants returned
and settled accounts with them.

18. THE WICKED AND LAZY SERVANT
Matthew 25:14-30
20 The man who had received the five talents brought the
other five. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with five
talents. See, I have gained five more.'
21"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant!
You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in
charge of many things. Come and share your master's
happiness!'
22"The man with the two talents also came. 'Master,' he said,
'you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two
more.'

19. THE WICKED AND LAZY SERVANT
Matthew 25:14-30
23 "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant!
You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in
charge of many things. Come and share your master's
happiness!'
24 "Then the man who had received the one talent came.
'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting
where you have not sown and gathering where you have not
scattered seed.
25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the
ground. See, here is what belongs to you.'

20. THE WICKED AND LAZY SERVANT
Matthew 25:14-30
26 "His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I
harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered
seed?
27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the
bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with
interest.
28 " 'Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten
talents.
29 For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an
abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken
from him.
30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness,
where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

21. WICKEDNESS AND LAZYNESS
NOT TO PRODUCE WITH YOUR LIFE IS
CONSIDER AS WICKEDNESS AND
LAZYNESS;
THE PUNISHMENT IS HELL
26 "His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew
that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have
not scattered seed?
30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the
darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

22. BEWARE!!!
JOHN WESLEY SAID:
“A LAZY PERSON CAN NOT ENTER
HEAVEN”

23. THE EVIL FARMERS
33 "Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who
planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in
it and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some
farmers and went away on a journey.
34 When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to
the tenants to collect his fruit.
35 "The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed
another, and stoned a third.
36 Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first
time, and the tenants treated them the same way.

24. THE EVIL FARMERS
37 Last of all, he sent his son to them. 'They will respect my
son,' he said.
38 "But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other,
'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him and take his inheritance.'
39 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and
killed him.
40 "Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what
will he do to those tenants?"
41 "He will bring those wretches to a wretched end," they
replied, "and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who
will give him his share of the crop at harvest time."

25. THE EVIL FARMERS
THEY WERE PRODUCING BUT NOT FOR GOD. THEY DID NOT
WANT THE MASTER TO ENJOY THE FRUITS OF THEIR
PRODUCTION. THEY WERE SELFISH THAT IS WHY THEY WERE
EVIL.
THEY WERE TO BE DESTROYED.
40 "Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what
will he do to those tenants?"
41 "He will bring those wretches to a wretched end," they
replied, "and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who
will give him his share of the crop at harvest time."

26. THE OBLIGATION OF PRODUCTION
A FRUITFULL LIFE IS BLESSED BY GOD
“7 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that
produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives
the blessing of God.
8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is
in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.”

27. THE OBLIGATION OF PRODUCTION
A FRUITLESS LIFE IS BLESSED BY GOD
“7 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that
produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives
the blessing of God.
8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is
in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.”

28. THE GENES OF GOD
GOD HAS GIVEN US HIS GENES.
WE CAN CREATE. WE MUST CREATE.
LET US REJECT A FRUITLESS LIFE!
Psalms 82:6
"I said, 'You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High.'

29. JESUS IS OUR STRENGTH
WE HAVE THE BACKING AND THE
STRENGTH OF THE LORD.
LET US RISE AND MAKE THIS YEAR THE MOST
FRUITFULL OF OUR ENTIRE LIFE SO FAR
Philippians 4:13
“I can do everything through him who gives me strength.”

30. DETERMINE YOUR TALENT AND
GIFTS
DETERMINE YOUR TALENTS AND GIFTS
AND DEVELOP THEM TO THE MAXIMUM.
GOD WILL BLESS YOU.
GOD BLESS THOSE WHO PRODUCE.

31. THE CALL

AND LIVE A PRODUCTIVE LIFE

32. GOD BLESS YOU ALL
