The Blessing of Marriage: Be Fruitful

The Blessing of Marriage: Be Fruitful

Today, I shall be teaching on 'The Blessing of Marriage'. It is my prayer that after this teaching, your eyes of understanding will be opened to what God has packaged for you. First, we shall be looking at the subject: Be Fruitful.

As far as you are a covenant child, there are blessings you must enjoy in your marriage. The devil tries all his best to make sure he hinders God’s people from receiving the blessing of marriage. The devil is always looking for ways to steal from the believer. (John 10:10).

BE FRUITFUL

Unfruitfulness is a problem plaguing some marriages today. However, it is worth nothing that marriage is designed for fruitfulness. With the same breath God called forth light, and it came to be, He also said to man,

Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth (Gen. 1:28).

That was not an admonition, but a commandment. God did not say, “You may be fruitful”, but “ Be fruitful!” God designed your marriage to be fruitful. Never mind whatever contrary report you may be holding in your hands now. Barrenness is not of God, and should not be seen as a lesson or punishment from God. God tempts no man with evil. If there is anything like that, it is of the devil. Remember, the devil is the thief who has come to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10).

If you are married, and reading this article, and you are expecting the fruit of the womb, know that God is much interested in your being fruitful and multiply. It is the devil that is at the back of your affliction. Grab him and collect back your title from him. A loving father does not give his son a stone in place of bread. Splash the blood on the devil and collect back your inheritance from him NOW! For instance, you have been married for a few years now, and you are running out of patience with God. Maybe there are even some mockers around you saying it to your hearing that you are papa or mama ‘nobody’, rejoice and be glad. Why? The will of your heavenly Father is that you are fruitful, and the Word says:

For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. (Psa. 84:11)

He will not ask you to come back tomorrow for this good thing, He will give it right away. It is in His power to give you and He will surely give it to you NOW. This is your hour. God has made known His will to you. Who can turn His hand back? What kind of medical report can annul what the Almighty Himself says? Whose report will you then believe ? Relax and come to your senses. Stop panicking and running helter-skelter. Stop cursing and abusing your mockers. Stop spending your fortune looking for man-made-god-given-children. Stop frustrating your life. Be at peace with yourself and with your God and let His Word come to pass in your life.

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. (Psa. 127:3)

As long as you are a child of God, you are entitled to the blessing of children. No matter what the doctors have diagnosed as being responsible, God is greater than the report. Faced with barrenness, what do you do? PRAISE HIM (Psalm 67:5-7)

Praise is comely. As you praise Him, your womb begins to yield her increase. Stop murmuring, God is not against you. Stop complaining, God is not the cause of your trouble. Remember Hannah, year in and out, she went to Shiloh with her husband, full of complaints that her mate was mocking her. Until she learnt the art of heartfelt prayer and vow to God, nothing happened. Stop looking at your distracters, face your God. When you look up to the sun, you don’t see the shadows. Look up unto the Sun of Righteousness, and let your healing and deliverance from the bondage of barrenness come speedily.

Wake up in the morning, let joy fill your heart and soul. Sing His praise and thank Him for a good day ahead. Thank Him that you are even in your right senses to know the desire of your heart. Will a mad woman on the street remember being barren? Thank Him that you even have a husband who is one flesh with you for procreation. Thank Him for His Word that can never fail in your life. Thank Him and thank Him again. As you keep rejoicing in Him, everything that the devil has stolen is being replaced, and sooner than you even think, you will carry your baby. God did not give Hannah only one child as she requested, but many more children followed. This shall be your portion.

SERVE HIM (Exodus 23:25-26)

This is a covenant between God and you. When you fulfill your own part of the agreement, you are automatically free to enjoy the benefits of that agreement. As you serve God, you can never remain barren. Check the Scriptures. No one who served God and was initially called barren remained so for life. God always intervened. Remember Zechariahs (Luke1:5-17). He was in the service of God, when his captivity of barrenness turned. Even though, himself and his wife had passed the normal child bearing age, the covenant of God - via service - will never be broken. As you wait on God for your own child, serve Him. With your time, your means, and your life. Don’t look for God because of children, rather serve Him with your heart for who He is. Matt. 6:33 says every other thing, including children, will freely be added.

Nothing has power to stand against your being fruitful. All it takes is knowledge - locating yourself in the Word of God. If you want to enjoy fruitfulness, as God has declared you to be, go for the light of God’s Word. Keep declaring it until that barren situation disappears. As it is recorded in John 1:5. No situation is too much for God to handle. Countless number of people had gotten their own testimonies simply by operating God’s Word, your own will not be an exception. By the power backing the Word, I bring to you today, that situation of barrenness is consumed right now. You are liberated. I declare you fruitful in Jesus Name.

This is your own month. Your trials are over in the Precious Name of Jesus Christ. I await your testimonies!Have you been born again? If your answer is no and you would want to be born again and to be called a child of God, say this prayer of faith:

Lord Jesus, I come to You today, wash me clean from my sin, make me a new creature. Thank You Jesus for writing my name in the book of life. Now, I know that I am born again. Amen!

Congratulations! You are now born again and a child of God.
