Fruitfulness means to bring forth an increase, to produce or reproduce. Fruitfulness predates man. In other words, before God created man, He had already ordained that everything He created would bring forth fruit. So your life and destiny must bear fruit. Fruitfulness was the gift God gave man after creation. The first major thing God did after He created man was to bless him: 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: Gen 1:28.

Fruitfulness is not just a wish or mere desire, it's a commandment of God to man. It is a declaration, a decree from God. So when you are doing something and it is not bringing forth fruit, you should let that thing know that it is not obeying the law of God. Breaking the commandments incurs punishment as recorded in the Bible, therefore, whatever prevents your fruitfulness is an enemy of the Word of God; rebuke it. Fruitfulness is not limited to child bearing; if it was, we would have to conclude that Jesus was barren but this is obviously not so. The fact is that you and I are His spiritual children. Barreness is not only when a person does not bring forth a child naturally. Any child of God who has not led a soul to Christ, whether he brought forth children physically or not, is unfruitful. If you have led someone to Christ, then you are not barren. We should not always limit fruitfulness to biological child bearing.

Every time God said to be fruitful we see things brought forth; the birds of the air, the trees and fishes in the sea are all evidences of multiplication and fruitfulness by the commandment of God. The law of fruitfulness in the Scripture has never been contravened and it won't be broken in your life, in Jesus’ name.

When God wiped off the first earth, He asked Noah to bring the animals into the ark in their twos, which Noah did (Gen 6 :19). After the flood, the blessing of fruitfulness over the earth was repeated; And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth: Gen 9:1. That was the second time God was blessing the earth with fruitfulness. He did this to ensure that you are fruitful no matter what happens. By all means you shall be fruitful, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
* Release the spirit of fruitfulness upon your destiny.
* Rebuke every attempt of the enemy to make you stagnant and barren.
* Pray for everyone around you that the enemy has hindered from fruitfulness.
* Pray that you will never be barren of good things.
