The passage is from Luke chapter 13 Verse 6 Then he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree, planted in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any. Verse 7 So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, 'For three years now I've been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven't found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?' Imagine God speaking referring to us, do we have any answer to give Him ? Why should we be wasting the resources that God gives us ? Why should we be wasting the energy and life that God gives us ? Why should we be wasting the time that God gives us ? Especially for leaders, when we realise that the vineyard that we are planted in, is not ours, its His, our attitude towards the ministry, our way of thinking changes. The vineyard shows the place of ministry. Oooooh ?? Well there is a reason (as of now, to not get scared..) Jesus intercedes for us and gives an answer in the next verse,
