Topic : Blessed To Be Fruitful.
Memory Verse: Genesis 1:29. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Bible Reading :Genesis 1:26-28 KJV. Key Verse: v28.
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 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.
Everything about life and creation centers around man. Man as created by God has a special place in in his heart. “For God will not place the coming world, of which we speak, under the government of angels. But the Scriptures affirm: What is man that you would even think about him, or care about Adam’s race. You made him lower than the angels for a little while. You placed your glory and honor upon his head as a crown. And you have given him dominion over the works of your hands,” Hebrews 2:5-7 TPT. That is the reason he had to take time to create the earth and everything we can see today in preparation for the creation of man. Every other things he created was targeted at preparing the ground for the creation of man. After God took five days to create other things in preparation, on the sixth day he created man as the last of his creatures, before taking a rest on th7th day because his work was done.
As believers, we need to understand what God did for us at creation which was lost through sin but restored by redemption. The first thing I want us to understand clearly is that we are designed by God from creation to be fruitful by nature. From creation we were blessed and empowered to live a fruitful life in everything we do or every aspect of our lives. Our blessing therefore is by covenant, it doesn’t come when we pray, rather we manifest it anywhere we go and under any circumstances because that is just the way we were programmed by God to function. This implies that divine multiplication or increase is also our way of life that cannot be controlled by circumstance or any external forces. “When your lives bear abundant fruit, you demonstrate that you are my mature disciples who glorify my Father! “I love each of you with the same love that the Father loves me. You must continually let my love nourish your hearts. If you keep my commands, you will live in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands, for I continually live nourished and empowered by his love. My purpose for telling you these things is so that the joy that I experience will fill your hearts with overflowing gladness!” John 15:8-11 TPT.
Another fact we need to note from this passage is that the reason circumstances and external forces are helpless about whom we are in Christ Jesus is because we are created in his image and likeness. This image and likeness is not about physical appearance. Rather it is a spiritual semblance. In the spirit realm we possess his characteristics. This was made possible by the breath he gave us at creation that made man a living soul. That was a deposit of himself in man. “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Genesis 2:7. That is how we were empowered to bear rule over every other creature. You therefore have what it takes to subdue and bring every power around you to obey the word of God in your life. “(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” 2 Corinthians 10:4-5.
Prayer : Thank you Father God for what you did in my life. I worship you for creating me to be just like you. Thank you for blessing me and giving me your inbuilt fruitful nature to live with. Thank you because nothing can stop me from bearing fruits in every aspect of my life in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Exodus 13:17-14:31.
