Multiplied Fruitfulness.
"And God blessed them, and God said unto
them, Be fruitful and multiply, and
replenish
the earth, and subdue it: and have
dominion...." (Genesis 1:28)
The God we serve is the God of fruitfulness.
His uttmost desire for us since the time of
creation is that we be fruitful; and every
time we bring forth fruit as Children of God,
our heavenly Father is glorified (John 15:8).
A 'Fruitful' man is a fertile man; he
is a
productive man; he is successful, useful,
beneficial, worthwhile and plentiful as an
individual!
Looking through the scriptures,
fruitfulnesss
may be physical, spiritual, material,
marital, academic, ministerial, etc. Whatever
be the kind of fruitfulness in focus, there
are certain Biblical conditions which must be
fulfilled as a prerequisite for bringing
forth 'fruit' bountifully:
1. Right Soil (or Good
Ground): This has to
do with the environment, atmosphere,
surroundings, or location where growth or
fruit- bearing is sought ( see Matthew 13:8).
2. Rain: No man bears fruits
except there is
a 'rain' of the Spirit. There must be a
heavenly release of grace, mercy and favor.
(James 5:18)."No Rain, no gain!"
3. Sunshine: We all need the
radiance and the
effulgence of the Sun of righteousness as an
ingredient for growth and fruit- bearing. We
need the glory of God; we need his presence
and revelation beamed upon us! (see
Deuteronomy 33:14; Malachi 4:2).
4. Seasons: This is symbolic
of opportunity,
and timing - natural or divine (see Matthew
21:34).
5. Cultivation: 'Cultivation'
refers to God's
dealings with us. He takes us through the
school of the Spirit where we are drilled,
chastised and 'pruned.' (Luke 13:8).
6. Death: This refers to
mortification of the
flesh; consecration and sanctification. God
never entrusts fruits to 'living' people. We
must 'die' in order to be productive! (John
12:24).
7. Additions: There is a need
for a
conscious, deliberate striving and pressing
on the part of the individual. There must an
affort in accretion by adding virtue upon
virtue, knowledge upon knowledge, patience
upon patience, etc. (II Peter 1:5- 11).
Put all these together, it equals
'Multiplied
Fruitfulness.'
Got any fruits?
