Yesterday, I brought to your notice that you are a divine CREATURE of fruitfulness, who has a divine NATURE of fruitfulness in you in Christ (by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World) that needs the constant WORD of GOD in Christ intake in you to NURTURE for fruitfulness divinely in order for you to MATURE for fruitfulness divinely par your (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, etc) FUTURE in this World. (Genesis 1:26-28; Matthew 13:18-23; John 15:1-16; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 5:16-26; Ephesians 2:8-10; Genesis 26:1-22).
However today, I am sent to inform you that for you to be divinely FRUITFUL in Christ in this World:
1. You have to humbly and submissively LET the LORD (through His WORD) have His WAY in your LIFE and SITUATION by you passionately and persistently seeking and studying to have true spiritual UNDERSTANDING of the WORD of GOD you have learned, received, heard or seen. True! Take note, take heed!
2. You have to humbly and submissively LET the LORD (through His WORD) have His WAY in your LIFE and SITUATION by you consciously and consistently thinking, speaking and living in such a godly way in Christ in this World to JEALOUSLY SAFEGUARD the WORD of GOD in your HEART long enough in FAITH until its PRODUCES for you in Christ in this World. This is for your own good and profitability in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
Now, I discovered that many genuine Christians of today are NOT aware or conscious that the WORD of God is a spiritual SEED that must be sown into and nurtured over time in a spiritual GROUND, their HEARTS of course, to produce in due time for them in Christ in this World. True! So sad, so bad!
Jesus Christ Himself gave us an explanation of four (4) kinds of HEART and how the WORD OF GOD do or do not PRODUCE in them in this World thus:
Hear you therefore the parable of the sower.
1. When any one HEARS the WORD of the Kingdom, and UNDERSTANDS it NOT, then comes the wicked one, and catches away that which was SOWN in his HEART. This is he which received seed by the way side.
2. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that HEARS the WORD, and anon with joy receives it; Yet had he NOT ROOT in himself, but endures for a while: for when tribulation or persecution arises because of the Word, by and by he is offended.
3. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that HEARS the WORD; and the care of this World, and the deceitfulness of riches, CHOKE the Word, and he becomes unfruitful.
4. But he that received seed into the GOOD GROUND is he that HEARS the WORD, and UNDERSTANDS it; which also bears fruit, and brings forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. (Matthew 13:18-23; Philippians 4:8,9).
Which of the above state of HEART describes you best and truly?
This was Apostle Paul observation about the people of Israel thus:
Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL of GOD, but NOT according to KNOWLEDGE. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their OWN righteousness, have NOT submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believes. (Romans 10:1-4).
Do see from the above scriptural reference that you can have ZEAL for GOD in Christ in this World, but NOT according to spiritual KNOWLEDGE or UNDERSTANDING. Yes, is possible! This is the foundational problem of today's Christianity practice in this current dispensation of God's grace in Christ in this World. It is unfortunate that so many genuine Churches and Christians have ZEAL for GOD without spiritual UNDERSTANDING to produce God's kind of lives and situations in Christ in this World to the amazement of men and to the glory of God our heavenly Father. True! So sad, so bad! (Matthew 5:13-16).
Are you aware that the Disciples of Jesus Christ followed Him for over three (3) years and they did NOT have spiritual UNDERSTANDING of SCRIPTURES until He (Jesus Christ) resurrected and gave them as revealed thus:
And He said unto them, these are the WORDS which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then OPENED He their UNDERSTANDING, that they might UNDERSTAND the SCRIPTURES. (Luke 24:44,45).
Likewise, it is unfortunate today that many genuine Christians (Disciples) of Jesus Christ are physically following Him WITHOUT having the true spiritual UNDERSTANDING of SCRIPTURES to produce divine lives and situations in Christ in this World. so sad, so bad! Take note, take heed!
Are you one of such disciples of Jesus Christ that is physically following Him in this World, but WITHOUT having the true spiritual UNDERSTANDING of SCRIPTURES to produce God's kind of life and situations?
Always remember that to have true spiritual UNDERSTANDING of SCRIPTURES matters and that the WORD of GOD in Scriptures are still POWERFUL and PRODUCTIVE in Christ in this World:
1. To them that will take out quality time to STUDY it (the WORD of GOD) to have true spiritual UNDERSTANDING by the HELP of the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within them in Christ in this World because the Holy Spirit of Christ Himself authored the Scriptures. Jesus Christ had promised you that if you truly ASK, you will receive, if you truly SEEK, you will find and if you truly KNOCK, it will be open unto you. True! Take note, take heed! (2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; 1 John 2:27; Acts 17:12,13; Matthew 7:7,8; James 1:5-8).
2. To them that will jealously KEEP IT (the WORD of GOD) SAFE in their HEARTS long enough in FAITH until its PRODUCES for them in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Hebrews 4:12; Joshua 1:8; Hebrews 6:12; Psalm 19:7-14; Hebrews 11).
Now, let me leave you with this SECRET, which is, you need to know and note that apart from you having true spiritual UNDERSTANDING of SCRIPTURES:
1. You also need periodic divine DIRECTION on what to do in order to encounter and experience divine FRUITFULNESS in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
2. You also need periodic divine INTERVENTION against opposing forces that will come against you in order to encounter and experience divine FRUITFULNESS in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
Therefore, you will need to also learn to passionately and persistently PRAY, PRAY and PRAY until you can practically SEE expected FRUITFULNESS in your life and situations. (Genesis 26:1-22; Isaiah 45:1-5; Luke 18:1-8; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15; Hebrews 4:16).
Now, know and note that there is a time for NURTURING of the WORD of GOD you have planted by learning, receiving, hearing, seeing to keep it secure in your HEART and there is as well time for the MANIFESTING of the WORD of GOD you have learnt, received, heard, seen and kept nurtured and secured in HEART over time. True! That is why Apostle Paul said that he had planted and Apollos had watered, but God gave the increase. FRUITFULNESS of the Word of God is from GOD, not from man. True! Take note, take heed! (1 Corinthians 3:6-15; Ecclesiastes 3:1-11).
Welcome to a new week of divine FRUITFULNESS.
God bless you.
