“…cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?” – Luke 13:7
When God requires fruit from you, you better produce those fruits otherwise you could be subject to a curse. It is not about when you want to bear fruit. It is not about whether it is a convenient season for figs or not. It is not about when you are ready to work for God. It is not about when it is convenient for you to come into full-time ministry. The question to be asked is, “When does God want the fruit?”
If God wants fruit from you when you are twenty-five years old, you cannot put him off for forty years and tell Him to wait till you are sixty-five. Have you ever heard of a president offering a job to someone and being put off for ten years? Usually not. Most people would jump at every opportunity that comes from the president. How much more when Almighty God stretches out His hand of opportunity to give you a job in His vineyard. Who are you to turn away this invitation? Do not be surprised if you inherit a curse in your life because you do not bear fruit for the Lord when He expects you to bear those fruits.
I became a pastor when I was a medical student. All the fruits that I have borne and all the souls that have been won would have been lost if I had told the Lord that it was not the time of figs and that He should come at another season of my life.
