You are Created to be Fruitful – 2
Dear Reader,
Welcome to the concluding part of this edition. We have established in the previous edition that God is interested in your fruitfulness. He has declared you fruitful, and you are indeed fruitful. This week, we shall examine Keys to Seeing Your Promise of Fruitfulness Delivered.
It is important to know that while you continue to trust God for the fruit of the womb, certain keys must be engaged to strengthen your faith for your desire to come to pass.
These keys include:
Maintain a Life of Praise and Joy: Praise is comely to God. As you praise Him, your womb begins to yield her increase. The Word God says: Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. God shall bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall fear him (Psalm 67:5-7). Therefore, as you expect your bundle of joy, do not murmur or complain because God is not against you, and neither is He the cause of your present condition. Remember Hannah, year in and out, she went to Shiloh with her husband, full of complaints that her adversary mocked her sore. Nothing happened until she engaged in a heartfelt prayer, vowed unto God, and her countenance was no longer sad (1 Samuel 1:1-18). Stop focusing on distractions and the situation; look unto your God, the baby maker, and your deliverance from the bondage of barrenness will come speedily. Therefore, when you wake up every morning, let joy fill your heart and soul. Sing His praise and thank Him for a good day ahead. The fact that you are in your right senses to know your heart’s desire is enough reason to acknowledge God. Will a mad woman on the street remember she is barren? Thank God for blessing you with a partner who is one flesh with you for procreation. Thank Him for His Word that can never fail in your life. Thank Him over and over again. As you keep rejoicing in Him, whatever the devil has stolen will be replaced. Sooner than imagined, you will carry your baby. God did not give Hannah only one child as requested, but many more children followed. This shall be your portion in Jesus’ name!
Serve God with all Your Heart: Serving God is one of the covenant ways to access your fruitfulness. You automatically enjoy the benefits of serving God as you fulfil your part of the deal. As you serve God, you can never remain barren. The Word says: And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee (Exodus 23:25). All through the Scripture, no one ever served God and remained barren; God always intervened.
Remember Zechariah (Luke1:5-17). It was while serving God that his captivity of barrenness turned. Though he and his wife had passed the age of child-bearing, God still fulfilled His part of the covenant. Therefore, as you wait on God for your own miracle children, serve Him with your time, resources and life.
Here is a testimony that will boost your faith:
For five years, my husband and I trusted God for the fruit of the womb. We had been to several doctors and had done several tests, but there were no favourable results. The doctors didn’t come up with anything until last year when they said I was not ovulating and my husband had a low sperm count. I damned them, and we stopped further tests. Later in the year, we came for the Hosanna Night Service, so expectant that God would do something for us. While ministering, the Bishop said we should dance to invoke God’s blessings on our lives. He also called out those who desired the fruit of the womb, and he said that with sperm count or no sperm count, God was still in the business of making babies. We all danced under the rain, and while I danced like never before, I knew God had done it. While the Bishop made declarations, he said, “All your waiting is over forever! Your babies will be three months old by the next Hosanna Night Service!” Then I told God that was for me. Also, he said, “You shall recover all your harvest that has stayed a long night.”
Thereafter, my husband and I joined the Protocol group because, at the time, we did not belong to any group. We just attended services on Sundays and went back home. As we continued to serve God in the unit, I discovered I was pregnant. On April 24th, God blessed us with a set of twins, two girls. Our babies would be three months by the next Hosanna Night Service. I return all the glory to God! — Idagu J.
Your trials are over in the precious name of Jesus Christ! I decree that in a month’s time, you shall receive your testimony in Jesus’ precious name! I await your testimonies.
Furthermore, do not serve God because of children; instead, serve Him with your heart for who He is. The Word says: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33). This simply means every other thing, including children, will freely be added unto you.
However, to enjoy the gift of fruitfulness, you need to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. So, if you are not born-again, please say this prayer of faith: Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today. I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself. Forgive me of my sins and cleanse me with Your Precious Blood. Deliver me from sin and satan to serve the Living God. From today, Lord Jesus, I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Thank You Jesus for saving me! Now, I am Born-again.
Congratulations! You are now born again and a child of God. He loves you and will never leave or forsake you. With this, you are guaranteed all-round rest and peace, in Jesus’ name!
