God desires that our life be like a fruitful vine and that our fruit remain. This brings great joy and glory to God.

Scripture is explicit when God blessed Man, saying, “be fruitful and multiply…” —Gen 1:28. This blessing encompasses every aspect of human existence. Therefore, fruit bearing is not an option, it’s the mandate for our life.

John the baptist, whose ministry was to “…make straight paths for Him”, preached a straight message, “The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire”.—Matt 3:10. Good fruit is binding on us and the consequences thereof cannot be denied.

‘The parable of sower’ uncovers the secret to a fruit bearing and prosperous life. We learn, when God’s Word is received with spiritual understanding, it results in fruitfulness and prosperity: hundred, sixty and thirty folds. —Mat 13:23. So, “the seed principle” teaches, “the seed is God’s Word’ and God’s Word is the secret and the key to a fruitful life; it contains everything to enable us to fulfill the mandate of bearing fruit.”

What devil has to do in this parable? Why is he there and what is he doing? Does the devil understand “the seed principle” better than most Christians do? Isn’t he there to ‘snatch away’ the Word? The devil knows, there can be no fruit without a seed. Your enemy knows how to keep people in bondage and make them unfruitful. If the enemy knows so much, how is it that we don’t know, for we have the mind of Christ. Remember, if the devil can keep you from the Word, he can keep you from being fruitful. We ought to realize our insufficiency and the all-sufficiency of God’s Word to live-out God’s purpose.

Our short devotionals are intended to uncover biblical truth to help people find their freedom and to help Kingdom people live out God’s destiny for their lives–to live fruitful and prosperous life. We are praying and believing that God will speak to your very heart and uncover the truths that you need to know today.

God Bless You!
