Be Fruitful

When FATHER created Adam and Eve HE spoke the following over them in Genesis chapter 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.”

Blessing in this case is to cause to prosper resulting in being fruitful and multiplying.  This blessing expects growth and expansion in somewhat of a dramatic fashion, not barely getting by at a subsistence level of living.   FATHER expressed HIS clear Divine Intent for their lives.  After the flood, FATHER once again reiterated HIS Divine Intent with Noah in chapter 9:

1 So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand.

3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs.”

From Adam to Noah, FATHER had no variance in HIS intent for those who wanted to walk according to HIS Divine Intent- to be blessed.  Once again in Deuteronomy chapter 28 FATHER established HIS Intent by proclaiming to the children of Israel:

1 “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.

2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God:

3 “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.

4 “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

5 “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

6 “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

7 “The LORD will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

8 “The LORD will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you.”

Has FATHER’S Divine Intent changed since these declarations?  Not at all.  Our expectations or lack thereof may be keeping us from HIS blessings.  The ego wants to keep you in submission by rationalizing away your current orientation of scarcity.  I am not talking about worldly excess but instead I am focused on those resources you need for the fulfillment of your purpose.  Paul wrote in Philippians chapter 4:

19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

If you need seed to plant a crop, expect FATHER to provide.  If you need to travel to minister life to others, expect FATHER to provide a means.  True abundance is unique to each person’s calling.  Some may require more assets to complete their mission while others require minimal resources.  Each calling has its own specific resources to fulfill what FATHER has ordained.  Look to HIM, not others’ faith as your source. 

There are those who want to ride along and extract your resources for their consumption.  These circumstances require your discernment and ability to hear from FATHER concerning your interaction with them.  When fruit trees fail to produce, FATHER has commanded that they be cut down and thrown into the fire.  When they take up resources meant for others and fail to produce, they are given an extra year by HIS Grace to be fruitful.  Otherwise, they are to be removed.  Be fruitful for FATHER ordained it.
