SECRET OF FRUITFULNESS 2

 

We had seen in an earlier study that God desires all His children be fruitful and not be barren. We’ll continue looking on the same; how can we continue bearing fruits in every season in our lives until the end.

We have amazing statements here…. THEY NEVER STOP PRODUCING FRUIT, and…HE BEARS FRUIT EVERY SEASON AND WHATEVER HE DOES PROSPERS. Jer 17:8, Psalm 1:3

In the above two statements in hidden the secret of always bearing fruits. Let us consider carefully the context of these two statements that we may grasp the secrets and if we seek to wholeheartedly to follow them, the results will be that we will always be fruitful all that days of our lives. If that’s your desire in this life, let us go on and look at the context of these words.

BLESSED are those who trust in the Lord, and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. He shall be like a tree planted by the waters, and spreads its roots by the river. He will not be bothered by heat or long months of drought. Their leaves are ever green and they never cease yielding fruits. Jer 17:7-8

Trust means absolute confidence in the reliability of something, 

Hope means expectation and desire of a particular thing to happen.

Putting these together we see that those who have absolute confidence in the Lord that He is reliable and that He will fulfill what He has promised and that their expectation is from God alone-only such as these will always be fruitful all their lives.

Blessed is the man who does not WALK in the counsel of the wicked…i.e. follow the advice of evil people

He does not stand in the path of sinners- standing may means undecided on whether to follow sinners or not, but those who already who already have made up their minds to walk the way of righteousness and holiness…

He does not sit with mockers- (those who treat others with contempt, making fun of others and despising their weaknesses)- He does not enjoy the company of such

Instead this person delights in the word of God; He does meditate on it day and night. This is the person who is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields fruit every season, he leaves does not with and whatever He does prospers. Ps 1:1-3

Is the word of God your highest source of Joy or do you enjoy comedies or memes more than Gods word??? 

Another illustration on the same principle is Ezekiel 47:1-9, where Ezekiel had an experience where he passed through waters unto the ankles, then to the knees, then to the loins and then waters to swim. That last part states that…. WHEREVER THE WATER SHALL GO, EVERYTHING THERE WILL LIVE.

This can symbolize the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the more filled we are, the more fruitful we will be and be a blessing to everyone wherever we go.

Thus in conclusion, if we want to be more fruitful continue and be a blessing wherever we go, we need three things consistently.

We must absolute confidence in God

We must delight ourselves in the word of God; i.e, Gods word must be our highest source of joy

We must seek always seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit

Now that you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. Jn 17:13

You are blessed to be a blessing
