The foremost
eternal blessing of God to mankind even before the world began is fruitfulness.
Soon after man’s creation the very first blessing that God imparted upon man
was the blessing of fruitfulness.
Be aware that
God’s first commandment to humanity wasn’t given in terms of religious
obligations, but rather in terms of productivity and
relevance. He said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number…” In other
words, become more, succeed and flourish! And I believe this was actually
much more than a commandment, I believe that it represents a divine conditioning
of the human psyche. You and I were programmed from the very beginning to
desire progress and increase. Fruitfulness is God’s will for us.
Because of
what Jesus did for us on the Cross, all believers are blessed with the
blessings of faithful Abraham. What that means is that you ought to be fruitful
in all areas of your life. Your marriage should be fruitful; your business
should yield great fruits; your ministry must yield wonderful fruits because
God said in Gen 1:28 “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.
Deuteronomy
7:13-14 says “He will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also
bless the fruit of thy womb. You shall be blessed above all peoples; there
shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your
livestock.” Psalm 92:14 says "They shall still bring forth fruit in old
age; they shall be fat and flourishing."
The secret of
fruitful is found in John 15:2 & 5 that, "Every branch that beareth
fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. He that abideth in
me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do
nothing."
I pray that the
LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children in Jesus Name.
Amen!
