The Figs Are Ready
“The fig trees are forming young fruit, and the fragrant grapevines are blossoming. Rise up, my darling! Come away with me, my fair one!”
Song of Songs 2:13 (NLT)
This poetic and profound verse represents God’s call to His beloved: the church. The fig tree bearing fruit is a symbol that the time for harvest has come. It is not only a natural season, but a spiritual one. The Beloved—God—is calling His church to rise up, to move, to go with Him to where the fruit is ready to be gathered. Our cities are filled with people who need hope, healing, and restoration. This is the moment. Through the Healing Decisions series, God is inviting us to step out and reap the harvest.
• There is fruit ready to be gathered
“The fig tree has formed her young figs…” (NKJV). The ground has already been prepared, and now God is showing us that there are people open, broken, and ready to receive His love.
• The harvest is of souls
The fig tree represents more than a plant: it represents lives, families, marriages, youth, and children. This harvest is spiritual and eternal. It is time to gather what God has caused to grow.
• The church must rise up with intention
“Rise up, my darling!” — This is not a passive invitation; it is a loving but urgent command. We cannot sleep in times of harvest. The church must be awake and in motion.
• God wants us to go with Him
“Come away with me!” — We do not go alone. He goes before us, with us, and for us. When we align ourselves with His call, His presence goes with us.
• The Healing Decisions series is a tool to gather the fruit
This is not just another program. It is a spiritual strategy to connect with wounded hearts, present them the hope of the gospel, and restore what had been lost.
“The fig trees are forming young fruit, and the fragrant grapevines are blossoming. Rise up, my darling! Come away with me, my fair one!”

Think About It:
- Am I seeing with spiritual eyes that there is fruit ready in my city, my workplace, or my family?
- Am I willing to rise up and respond to God’s call in this season?
- Who can I invite today to be part of this harvest through the Healing Decisions series?
