The Law of Fruitfulness I

READ: Gen. 1:25-28
MORE LESSONS: Gen.9:6-9
Bible Reading in One Year: Proverbs 4-7
God has a plan for increase and fruitfulness. He set the law of fruitfulness into all living things that He made, from creeping things to the cattle on the field. God said all should bring forth according to its kind and it was so. God saw that fruitfulness is good. Say that to yourself, Fruitfulness is good and I will be fruitful. Also, He decided to make man in His own kind and in His image (Gen.5:1, I Cor.11:7, James 3:9). This Bible account nullifies the theory of evolution which states that man is a product of evolution.

Man , the crown of God's creation, is glorious because he was made in God's image. One may not have seen God in bodily form, but because man was made in the image of God, one can without hesitation say that God has eyes, ears, head, legs and arms. What a glory to be made in God's likeness. God made man in His image for the same issue of fruitfulness and increase because God wants godliness multiplied on the earth.

What is it that God wants multiplied? Is it murder, hatred that we see around ? No, God wants kindness, love, compassion, brotherly affection, and all of His nature multiplied on the earth. This is why the Church exists today because the Church is the channel to reproduce godliness on the earth by raising godly people who are like Christ. Every home must labour to raise godly children who fear the Lord from cradle to the time they leave home to be on their own as adults. This is the whole essence of a godly home. A home where miscreants and vandals are raised is not fruitful. As a part of the church, are you fruitful? Do you contribute to the fruitfulness of the church by exemplary godly living at home and wherever you are? Do you share the good news of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus with people you meet regularly? How fruitful are you?

It’s unfortunate that even among God's people there are those who walk contrary to the law of fruitfulness, they are the gossips, and those with party spirit who by their actions even send some out of the church. They don’t add to the church but by their wrong behaviour make some to leave church. Consider whether you reproduce God where you are. Be fruitful!

Prayer/Action
* Lord, thank You for making me in Your image and likeness.
* Lord, help me reproduce godliness wherever I go.
* I shall not be a barren member of the church, I receive grace for fruitfulness.
Check your actions and reactions each day and take steps that lead to fruitfulness.
