He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
Luke 13:6-9
When you notice unfruitfulness, you need to dig about it, to find out why. You have a duty to dig about your life, to find out what is causing the unfruitfulness therein.
He said: “These three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree…” The dresser of the vineyard said, “Lord, let it alone this year also…”
God annually lifts his people and changes their position. You should expect an annual lift from God.
