Topic: FULFILLING THE LAW OF FRUITFULNESS

Memory Verse: John 15:5 – I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth In me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 7:12-18

Message: When God said “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness” in Genesis 1:26, little could anyone know what it would entail. By this divine decision, man was made responsible for his actions and inactions because he is a small “god” (Psalm 82:6). Man, therefore had to take responsibility for his livelihood after the fall in the Garden of Eden. In spite of the need of man to have a means of livelihood however, our Lord Jesus Christ still cautions:

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33

The memory verse of today reveals to us how to fulfil the law of fruitfulness. At creation, man lived in all-round abundance – physically, spiritually and materially because God bestowed His blessing upon him and his wife. With little effort, the man found great reward for his labour. This therefore shows us clearly that to be fruitful, you must have an intimate relationship with the Living God. The first law of fruitfulness is make Jesus Christ our Lord – we must be born again, that is, we must agree with Romans 3:23 that “… all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”, then quickly do something about it. This acceptance must be followed by the genuine repentance from our sins and unrighteousness.

Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. Acts 3:19

It is time the children of God understand the secret of fruitfulness: abiding in the Son of the Living God – the True Vine. We must leave behind every anxiety about what or who we want to become, focusing instead on living each day for Gad. The Bible says:

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rick 2 Corinthians 8:9

With the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary, we are abundantly blessed of the Lord, and we know that God’s blessings make us rich without any added sorrow (Proverbs 10: 22)

Points: Father, please open my eyes to see the secret of divine blessings, that I may align myself with it, In Jesus’
name.
Bible in one year: Luke 19, Luke 20

Hymn: Great Is Thy Faithfulness

  Chorus: "Great is Thy faithfulness!"

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, lord unto me!.

  1. "Great is thy faithfulness"

O God my father!
There is no shadow is of turning with Thee:
Thou changest not, Thy compassion, they fail not,
As thou has been thou forever will be.

  2. Summer and wrinter, and spring time and Harvest

Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

  3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth

Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide!
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
