Heaven 16 September 2021 Topic: Fulfilling the Law
of Fruitfulness
MEMORISE: 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. John 15:5
READ: Deuteronomy 7:12-18 (KJV)
12 Wherefore it
shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them,
that the Lord thy God
shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy
fathers:
13 And he will love
thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy
womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the
increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware
unto thy fathers to give thee.
14 Thou shalt be
blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you,
or among your cattle.
15 And the Lord will take away from thee all
sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest,
upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
16 And thou shalt
consume all the people which the Lord thy
God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt
thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
17 If thou shalt
say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;

Open Heaven 16 September 2021 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 Psalms 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 to 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 God. 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 rich.” 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.
Open Heaven 16 September 2021 PRAYER POINT:
Father,
please open my eyes to see the secret of divine blessings, that I may align
myself with it, in Jesus name.
