Fruitfulness II

Friday, 21 March
Text : John 19: 30-34
More Lessons: Psa. 92: 12-15
Bible Reading in One Y ear: Numbers 25-27

Bareness, as we discussed yesterday, is not only when a person does not bring forth a child biologically. Every child of God who has led a soul to Christ is fruitful. The blessing of fruitfulness has been upon the earth before man started to bear children, which means it is not just about child-bearing. However, by His work on the cross, Jesus also made provision for biological fruitfulness.

But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water: John 19:33-34. When Jesus' side was pierced, blood and water came forth. This brings a picture to my mind of when mothers give birth, how water and blood also come forth. The relationship is that when the side of Jesus was pierced and water and blood came out, the price for fruitfulness was paid. Jesus actually brought forth water and blood from His side close to where the womb is located in women as a symbol of the defeat over barreness.

What Jesus paid for here, according to this scripture, is inclusive but not limited to just child bearing. He paid the price for your all round fruitfulness. You can appropriate the piercing of the sides of Jesus against any unfruitfulness in your life whether financial, material, physical or biological. By the blood and water from the Master's side, every unfruitfulness is terminated in your life, in Jesus’ name. The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing: Psa. 92:12-14.

You shall also be fat with the good of life means you will be full of good results. Flourishing talks about expansion, enlargement, extension and be established beyond all deficits in life. Fatness, fullness and flourishing are your portion because the earth is the LORD'S, and the fullness thereof' (Psa. 24:1). This is not only for some select people, but for every child of God. It is the will and the desire of the Father that each of His children flourishes and be fruitful. To bring forth fruit in old age can be directly applied to bringing forth biological children even in old age. With God, age is not a barrier to child bearing; menopause is a pause, it is not a stop. I declare you fruitful in whatever area of your life you desire it today, in Jesus’ mighty name.

Prayer/Action
* Say with me, “Every natural and demonic force confronting God's command for me to be of fruitful, be swallowed up, in Jesus' name.”
* Declare that you are a planting of the Lord and must flourish, in Jesus’name.
* Command that none shall be barren in the house of our God.
