The God of Fruitfulness

Saturday 1 August
READ: Gen 21: 1 – 7
MORE LESSON: Exo 23: 26

God is a God of fruitfulness. He is determined to put an end to barrenness in the life of His children. He said in His Word, No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days: Exo. 23:26 (NKJV).

One testimony I love giving is the testimony of one of the leaders in the Headquarters Church of our ministries. When he and his wife were in courtship, one day as they were taking a walk an ancestral masquerade in the land confronted them. The idolaters told them that it was a taboo to meet that particular masquerade and so they would not give birth to children except they performed some rituals to appease the gods of the land. The man and his fiancée replied that they were children of the Most High God and would never perform rituals to appease any god. Thereafter, they got married, and truly, as the people said, the babies didn't come. Then warfare prayers ensued – and as it certainly is, the victory was won. The first pregnancy came and it produced in a set of twins. Before they recovered from the celebration of the twins, another child arrived. Before you knew it, God added another. The Lord continued to add till the enemy kept quiet completely.

God promised Abraham that a great nation would come out of him and though he and his wife remained barren, they continued to wait. After 25 years, there was still no child since the declaration of the promise. Then, in Genesis 21:1 the Bible says, And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken. No matter how long you have been waiting for fruitfulness, most especially in the area of the fruit of the womb, I want you to know that God doesn't come too late nor too early. He comes just right on time. Today He has come for you, in Jesus name.

Abraham and Sarah waited for 25 years. Eventually, God fulfilled His prophecy and performed His counsel, and no force was able to stop Him. The unstoppable God of fruitfulness is still at work today and He has promised you that He will give you that fruit that you desire of Him. I see the seconds tick to the fulfilment of the promise of God over your life today, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
* I break my alliance with barrenness and fruitlessness of all types in the mighty name of Jesus.
* In the name of Jesus, I embrace fruitfulness and ever increasing profit in all that I do, in Jesus mighty name.
* I shall not be barren of anything that is good, but shall be plenteous in fruits, in Jesus’ mighty name.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
Thank you Father for the eighth month: it shall bring absolute rest upon its wings for me, in Jesus’ name.
