TITLE: A FRUITFUL LIFE
SCRIPTURE: 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).
MESSAGE
Genesis 1:26-28 reveals that God created mankind in His own image and likeness, and He bestowed upon them the authority to rule over the entire earth, including all living creatures. The term “to bless” (Hebrew “Barak”) signifies the act of praising and giving thanks. When you bless God, you are expressing praise and gratitude. Conversely, when you bless another person or God blesses you, it means conferring benefits and empowerment. In Genesis 1:28, God empowered Adam and Eve to be fruitful, productive, to multiply, replenish, and fill the earth.
In John 15:16, Jesus conveys, “You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and appointed you to go forth and produce fruit, with your fruit enduring. Whatever you ask of the Father in my name, He will grant it to you.” The word “may” in the King James translation conveys a strong affirmation rather than mere speculation. Consequently, we are called to go out and produce fruit.
Furthermore, our fruits are intended to endure and leave a lasting impact. This demonstrates that He has made you effective, endowing you with the ability to achieve desired results. If you have a goal, you can rely on your efficacy to attain it. This is your inherent nature in Christ.
Approach life with confidence, knowing that every endeavor you undertake will lead to success. This is the life that God has granted us—a life filled with purpose, power, and productivity. Embrace this truth and walk confidently, recognizing that you have been chosen and appointed by God to lead a productive life.
DECLARATION

I stand firm like a flourishing tree meticulously planted by God, deeply anchored by streams of joy, bearing fruit in every phase of life. I remain blessed and prosperous, perpetually. Amen.

Psalm 1:1-3 (TPT) – “What delight comes to the one who follows God’s ways! He won’t walk in step with the wicked, nor share the sinner’s way, nor be found sitting in the scorner’s seat. His passion is to remain true to the Word of ‘I AM,’ meditating day and night on the true revelation of light. He will be standing firm like a flourishing tree planted by God’s design, deeply rooted by the brooks of bliss, bearing fruit in every season of life. He is never dry, never fainting, ever blessed, ever prosperous.
