When you are hungry and see something you can eat, it seems like you get hungrier. It was exactly that what happened to Jesus Christ. He was hungry and saw a fig tree. “Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 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”, Mark 11:12 e 13 He ran to see if there were any fruits in that tree, however He found nothing. But is there time for God? Doesn't God have the power of doing everything? How didn`t that tree give the fruit to its Creator? That fig tree represents some people, people who put other tasks in front of worshipping God, or put obstacles to doing the work, "Oh, I won't love it because it's raining," "Oh, I'm not going to church because I don't want to be persecuted." My brother if this example applies to your life you have to stop now! When God calls you, do it at that time, don't let it go. Abraham, it is a great example, the Lord asked for the sacrifice of his son Isaac, and at no time he questioned the Lord, but proved his fidelity to the Creator.

God, it is the almighty, He can do everything at any time, He could make that tree bear fruit, but with it we will learn a lot.

Who explains how water can sustain someone? But Jesus walked on to the waters, (Mark 14:25). How is it possible to turn water into wine? But Jesus transformed, (John 2:1 to 12). How does olive oil multiply? But the Lord multiplies, (II Kings 4:1 to 7). How do you explain iron floating on water? But the Lord did float, (II Kings 6:1 to 7). And how many other passages that the Holy Bible reports of things the Lord has wrought and for man there is no explanation. "And Jesus, speaking, said to the fig tree," don't ever eat anyone's fruit again. And his disciples heard this, " Mark 11:14. The moment Jesus cursed the fig tree, nothing happened, but the word of the Messiah was cast. "And they, passing in the morning, saw that the fig tree had dried from the roots. And Peter, remembering, said to him: master, behold, the fig tree, which thou cursed, has withered., Mark 11:20 and 21. The order that God sends you, you may or may not carry out, the choice is up to you. But when God tells you to do something, go ahead, because it is your victory! Be sure of it. The disciples believed that Jesus was serious, but they saw with their own eyes that the word has power. After remembering the words Jesus released, Peter replied: "therefore I say unto you, that all things you ask in prayer, believe receive, and have them-", Mark 11:24. Believe in God, my dear, pray with faith, because anything will happen. Although in your eyes is time consuming, but have faith that the next day will arrive in your life, and that Word thrown, will meet.
