KJV+, Gen 1:28: "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

In the passage above we see that God blesses humanity and commands them to be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and have dominion over it. This means that when we receive blessings, gifts, skills, or talents from God, we are expected to use them to positively influence our communities and the world. It would be foolish and unproductive to sit idle with the blessings we have received. Just as a wise son would manage and improve what his father has given him, we are called to administer and multiply the gifts and blessings bestowed upon us by God.

To fulfil this mandate, we must first identify the areas in which God has blessed or enriched us. It's not a mere suggestion but an unchangeable command from God for each of us to multiply the blessings we have received in the lives of others. We will be held accountable for how we have managed the blessings entrusted to us. Our purpose in life is to add value and bring improvement to the lives of others through the grace we have received.

We are sent into the world by God to become blessings to people around us. If we fail to obey God's command to bring joy to others with the blessings we have received, we will be counted as unprofitable in His sight. Bearing fruit with the gifts or skills God has given us is just the beginning of the great things He wants to accomplish through us. We should aim to progress from bearing fruit to multiplying blessings in the lives of others by training them to bear fruits with the blessings they have received. By faithfully carrying out this process, we will fill our communities with the grace God has given us and become positive influencers in the lives of others.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
