Okay! Splendid day everyone🤗 this is my first time sharing on this community. I am utibeimaabasi Sampson. Well I was pondering hard in some verses if the scripture about fruitfulness and fruitlessness, we all know they are opposite words.
So few questions this afternoon, are you fruitful or fruitless? If you are fruitless what happened? I discovered that a tree can only flourish and yield when it is being connected to a source( root) which provides all the necessary nutrients needed for proper growth. Now let's go to this popular scripture
KJV:But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
ESV:but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
NIV:but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.
AMP:But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night.
3
KJV:And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
ESV:He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
NIV:That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.
AMP:And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].
So whatever version suits perfectly.
God is not interested in a fruitless Life because even Jesus christ himself cursed the fruitless fig tree because it bore no fruit and leafs.
The moment we remain in the vine we continue to flourish ( psalm explained itKJV:But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3
KJV:And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.)
Which means when we are disconnected from the vine, from God, when we are not alligned with Him we become dry and we either.
Fruitfulness itself is a commandment. If we go down to Genesis it was clearly written7
KJV:And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
ESV:And you, be fruitful and multiply, increase greatly on the earth and multiply in it.”
NIV:As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”
AMP:And you, be fruitful and multiply; bring forth abundantly on the earth and multiply on it.
So you see we have ever single cause to be fruit, we have what it takes to be fruit I in all areas of our lives.
Whatever happens in our physical lives is just a result of what happened in the spiritual realmmsss
So quick one , are you fruitless, fruitful, connected, disconnected are you disobeying God, are you helping to multiply God's Wonderful work.
Have a blissful day ahead.
