Be Fruitful!

Scripture Text: “And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. " - Genesis 9:7

I am meant to know and believe that all things came into being by the creative force of God’s word, and also all things that are made, were by Him and for Him.

All creations were made for God's pleasure.

Our maker is a God of purpose, He has a preordained reasons for everything he brings into being, everything He made was to fulfill a divine course or assignment in life, by this knowledge

" For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:" - Colossians 1:16

I also believe that no person is a failure, and that, no one is a biological accident or born for misfortune in life.

A wise one said, “Almost any fool can be successful if he will play by the rules of success”. The Bible says, “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:.” - Isaiah 1:19

This is not a topic to so ponder about, knowing from the precepts of the Word; that every Child of God was conceived with innate abilities for any dimension of Fruitfulness or breakthrough in life.

God's word says, "According as his divine power hath given unto us all thiiiungs that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:" - 2 Peter 1:3

So, this success factor is not given to supposedly some assumed few, it is given to us all. Divinity has given freely all things to us; whosoever is called by the name of the lord has been predestined for a wonder-full and fruitful places in destiny.

All things that the world craves to have, and even those we asked not have been given to us. And as we continue to serve God in spirit and truth He continues to fulfill His will of abundant life towards us by his divine power.

Your being fruitful is something that has been determined afore time in eternity, it predates your conception and birth, not something that will still come to be.

This is where many miss it, and are lost in their search for God. No wonder the Apostle Peter in 2 Peter 3:1 says’ “through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue”

We need good knowledge of God and His will in order to manifest His purposes for our lives.

In Genesis, God commanded Adam, the first man to be fruitful. Bible says, “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” - Genesis 1:28.

This is a command, and God does not command us to do what He has not empowered us to perform.

You have the ability to do whatever God asks you to, Perhaps you may be saying, “But Adam had lost his place to the devil!”. Exactly, Adam, lost everything to Satan, the accuser.

But, God through Jesus and by His divine power took back our place from the devil, he redeemed us again to God, all blessings abundance, glory, power, riches and fruitfulness were fully restored in Christ.

Those supposedly lost glory in Adam Jesus retrieved them back in full to us who believe, "Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing." - Revelation 5:12

The lamb (Jesus) was slain to redeem you and restore the lost glory, it is indeed, marvelous.

The reason for unfruitfulness therefore is not the devil, and not just the lack of the knowledge of the finished works of the cross, but doubt and unbelief.

This is a cardinal ailment in the body of Christ, among believers. It is an issue because the battlefield of life is no other place, than our minds, yes!

The human mind is a battlefield; the battlefield of life!

What you don’t believe you would never be able to confess, Recall, “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”-Romans 10:10,

The word, “Salvation” also means victory or deliverance. Our world begins from the world within us, until you confess what you believe you can’t become it.

Our world begins from the inside of us.

In the Adamic era, God did not bring fruitfulness as a “form” for Adam to see, rather He sowed the seed of fruitfulness into Adam, through His word.

God’s word is a seed for whatever dimension of change you would desire to experience, John 6:63 says, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”,

This implies, that the word of God carries with it the creative force to make your desire, dream, or God’s given vision come to pass or become reality.

That means, our faith gives it life and our unbelief kills it, our heart is the field where it is sown, it is either a good ground or bad ground. Just the way any bad ground wouldn’t bear forth good food.

So, unbelief and doubt will hinder God's will of fruitfulness from being fulfilled in ones life. But Faith activates it.

The scripture text says, “And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.”

God speaks according to his will and purpose, which means you were custom-made to be fruitful; the potential for glorious living is all within you.

But lack of the knowledge of God and doubt has derailed his plans of fruitful living in the life of most believers.

If He has commanded you to be fruitful, then believe you are fruitful, because “all things are possible to him that believes”

You give life to God’s word by your Faith!

Stop doubting the potency of His Word. Fruitfulness therefore is faith-bound, and God says he chose you and me, that we should always bear abiding fruits in Christ.

Meanwhile, to be fruitful in this case means, to be productive, successful, impactful, and purposeful, it is an abundant life.

Whether in ministry, business, or vocations, God didn't fashion you for the ordinary life, but has preordained you for extra-ordinary living, in signs and wonders - the supernatural life.

Revelation 5:10 says, “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” This is a super-fruitful living, but only becomes a reality by Faith in God, His word, and the finished works of the Cross.

Therefore, Beloved! Glory not in men for all things are yours, today acknowledge that you were born Fruitful, and you only need to have Faith and exercise it.
