SECRETS OF FRUITFULNESS – Thursday February 2nd 2017
Memorise: If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Galatians 5:25
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

MESSAGE:
One
of the utmost desires of every human being is to be fruitful. We derive
our drive for fruitfulness from the command that God gave to our spirit
after creation in Genesis 1:28:
“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.”
To
be fruitful means to have outstanding results in one’s assignment or
chosen career. Fruitfulness is having excellent results where others are
failing. Open Heavens 2017 Thursday 2 February 2017:- Secrets of
fruitfulness. It is to be highly favoured where others are struggling,
and making progress where others are either retrogressing or remaining
stagnant. Fruitfulness means being a vessel of honour while some are
vessels unto dishonour. My prayer is that the Lord will reveal to you
the secrets of good fruitfulness in Jesus’ Name.
The
first secret of good fruitfulness is absolute dependence on the One who
infused our spirit with the drive to be fruitful: God. God plays a
prominent role in the fruitfulness of His children. This is why you need
to settle it in your mind that there is nothing you can achieve without
the help of the Almighty God. Those who understand this secret never
attempt to run ahead of God. Jesus in John 15:5 said,
“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.”
No
amount of human labour would suffice if God is not involved. Open

partnership with Jesus. If you partner with Jesus, you can never suffer
loss because He is committed to giving you what money cannot buy. Money
cannot buy you a good name; neither can money buy you peace of mind or
guaranteed protection.
Another
secret of good fruitfulness is avoiding strife and division. These
manifest carnality and they will hinder you from bearing good fruit in
life. Any family where envy and provocation of one another persist
cannot be fruitful. Any organisation where people are committed to
breaking ranks cannot be fruitful. Any church where people are always
pulling down one another through their actions and words cannot be
fruitful. This is why the Bible admonishes us to always walk in the
Spirit so that we will not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Let us always
create an atmosphere of peace, love, joy and goodness, without
undermining the importance of discipline. You will be amazed at how good
our fruits would be under the leading of God.
Prayer Point
Father, destroy every agent of strife and division in our families.
