That The Lord
intends for mankind to be fruitful,
Is obvious and also
very beautiful.
This we’ve done, both
in and out of His structure, ‘family’,
Thus, this is the one
command we have fulfilled, faithfully!
Imagine being as
faithful, spiritually,
Just as we have
obviously been physically!
Ahhh, but with Grace, it’s never too late,
For us to change
our ‘fruitfulness state’.
You may have
noticed or possibly heard,
Of a kind of double-speak
in God’s Word.
While He is
addressing situations, physically,
He’s referring to
their roots and fruits, spiritually.
So what are the
roots and fruits of His
‘Be fruitful’ command?
How can we comply
if these things we may not understand?
Could it be that He
spoke of much more than procreation,
That has resulted
in Earth’s explosive population?
T’was likely in the
presence of fallen angels,
Who had been very
jealous of The Lord laurels,
That God made man
and placed him in Eden’s garden,
As lord of the
Earth, exercising dominion. 1
Knowing these angels
would persist in evil works,
Just like those
they did in Heaven with much fireworks, 2
In advance, God pre-pared good works that would counter,
Any and all evil
works devils would conjure! 3
Is it possible that
these good works could be,
What The Lord referred
to spiritually,
When to our first
parents He said,
‘Be fruitful! Fill the
Earth!’
Did He mean to good
works give birth,
and thus enhance life’s worth?
Imagine…
From Eden, in its un-paralleled
beauty,
God commanded
fruitfulness of their body,
And He also
intended fruit that to Him is sweet,
Fruit that counters
evil, ensuring devils’ defeat.
From mankind’s
beauty, thus He would fill the Earth:
By ordaining fruit from women to be birthed,
And from righteous spirits, fruits of good
works,
Thereby overwhelming
satan’s networks!
Fruit from beauty, what an awesome notion,
That God ordained
for His ‘project human’,
Like plants on
which other creatures depend to survive,
Grow beautiful
flowers, from which fruits we eat derive.
Fruit from beauty in your life God intends,
When the
righteousness of Christ He extends.
Ours is the fruit
of good works He pre-pared for us,
And the fruit of praise that to Him is …glorious!
4
As all fruits come from flowers, but not all flowers bear fruits, 5
And as all flowers are fed from a plant’s system of roots, Godly fruits come from lives full of good works and praise,
Rooted in His Word and lived on righteous pathways.
To Him, is your life fruitful?
May you walk worthy of The Lord, fully
pleasing Him,
being fruitful in every good work
and increasing in the knowledge of God…
being fruitful in every good work
and increasing in the knowledge of God…
(Colossians 1:10)
----------
1 Be fruitful and
multiply…have dominion… (Genesis 1:26-28. See also: Genesis 8:17, 9:1&7 and 35:11)
2 See: Isaiah 14:12-15 and Luke 10:18
3 For we are His workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand
that we should walk in them. (Ephesians
2:10. See also: Titus 1:16 and 2:14) This in no way suggests good works are the gateway to His salvation, as many folks erroneously believe.
4 Praise from the upright in heart
is beautiful. (Psalm 33:1)
5 See: All Fruits Come
From Flowers
