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
Fruitfulness means to produce so much fruit or to overflow with fruits. It is noteworthy that God’s first pronouncement of blessings on man was to “be fruitful”. The covenant of fruitfulness was initiated right from the beginning of creation. Even after the destruction of the earth with flood, God repeated the same blessing to Noah and his sons. This tells us that man was designed and ordained to be fruitful in all things.
The bible also states this clearly in John 15:16a “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain”.
You have been called to a life of all round fruitfulness. Fruitfulness in your body, in your mind, your career or business, in soul winning, in your family, and all that pertains to you. Any form of unfruitfulness in your life is not of God, so do not settle for it. Rather, challenge them with the instrumentality of the covenant until they give way. Glory to God!
