“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?” Luke 13: 7

How many years has Jesus spent on you and how many fruits do you have? Jesus told me today that His time to train a disciple is three years. In three years a new Christian should be fully trained and equipped to do His Kingdom work. In fact, how many Christians can be fully trained in three years? Do you think He really would cut those fruitless tree down? Are you fruitful or fruitless?

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help me to know the importance of the meaning of your three years cycle. Strengthen me to be a good mentor to fully make use of three years to train disciples for you. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
