BE
FRUITFUL
MEMORISE
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
READ
Genesis 1:27-28
27 So God
created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and
female created he them.
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.
MESSAGE
In Genesis 1:28, “Be fruitful” is presented both as
a commandment and a blessing. The blessings that God bestowed on humanity in
this passage can therefore be regarded as the source from which the human race
has flourished. This passage also defines a very important principle of life:
fruitfulness comes before multiplication. A person that is fruitful will
automatically multiply and anyone that refuses to be fruitful will never
multiply. This theme is repeated about seven times in the book of Genesis alone
(9:1, 9:7, 17:20, 28:3, 35:11 & 48:4) to emphasise the significance of this
divine principle. Now, since the Lord has spoken and His promises are yea and
Amen, why then do we have people that are barren and unfruitful? The answer is
in John 15:4-5, it says:
“Abide
in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide
in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the
branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much
fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
For any branch of the vine to be barren or unfruitful, it must either
be sick or detached from the vine. It is possible for the branch to be sick
according to Psalm 107:17:
“Fools
because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are
afflicted.”
Thank God for Psalm 107:20 which states the remedy:
“He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their
destructions.”
John 1:14 confirms Jesus as the Word that was sent,
while John 6:51 says that eating the Word from God gives you access to
everything you need for healing and deliverance. I therefore decree into your
life, that as you read and meditate on the word of God from this moment, you
will receive the power to live above sickness, bondage, poverty, failure and
death in Jesus’ Name.
Furthermore, it is possible for a branch to be
detached from the vine, making it impossible for the fluid of life that flows
from the vine to reach the branch. Such a detached branch will not only find it
impossible to bear fruit, it also stands the risk of dying off. As a result, I
admonish you to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour today, connect yourself
with the source of life and begin to bear fruit in abundance in Jesus’ Name.
PRAYER
POINT
Father, please help me to remain connected to you
so that all your blessings embedded in Genesis 1:28 will be my portion forever
in Jesus’ Name.
