BLESSED TO PRODUCE RESULTS
(It’s Your Nature To Be Productive)
TO THE BIBLE: Genesis 1:28
‘Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”’
LET’S TALK
“Hey Trevor, I don’t get it. Every time I’m part of something, it just falls apart, but you? You always seem to succeed. How?” Francis asked, as he was puzzled by Trevor’s consistent successes in every endeavour.
“It’s simple, Francis. I believe in God’s blessing of fruitfulness and productivity in my life, and I speak it into existence,” Trevor explained confidently.
In Genesis 1:26-28, the Bible shows us that God created man in His image and in His likeness and blessed them with the ability to have dominion over all the earth, including every living creature. “To bless” (Hebrew “barak”) is to praise or give thanks. When you bless God, you’re praising and giving Him thanks! But when you bless another or God blesses you, it means to confer some benefit or to empower.
So, what God did in Genesis 1:28 was that He empowered Adam and Eve to be fruitful and productive, to multiply, replenish, and refill the earth. In John 15:16, Jesus tells us, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.” The word “may” carries a firm affirmation rather than mere speculation. Thus, we are called to go and bring forth fruits.
Secondly, our fruits are meant to remain and have a lasting impact. This means that He has made you efficacious. You have the ability to produce the desired results. If you were given a target, your efficacy could be trusted. There’s an ability introduced into your life to produce desired results. It’s your nature in Christ.
You can approach life with confidence, knowing that every endeavour you’re engaged in will turn into success. It’s the life God has given us—a life of purpose, power, and productivity. Embrace this truth and walk in the confidence of being chosen and appointed by God to live a productive life.

Speak
I’m like a well-watered garden, fruitful at all times. I’m the fruitbearing part of God’s vine and I’m producing durable fruits—fruits of righteousness, because I’m a tree of righteousness. I’m 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. I am ever blessed, ever prosperous. Amen.
