Be Fruitful and Multiply

When reading scriptures that speak of God’s command or blessing to be fruitful, and multiply and to be a great and mighty nation, we must ask how we see or apply that to our lives.  What do those words speak to the internal dimensions of our existence and being as we operate in the earth.

Adam Genesis 1:28 “And God blessed them (male and female), and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the bids of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth”.

Noah “Genesis 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.”  “Genesis 9:7-9 “And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. And God said unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, Behold I, establish my covenant with you, and with your seed (offspring) after you.”

Abraham Genesis 18:17-19 “And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?  For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.”

The writer of Hebrews emphasizes this blessing in Hebrew 6:13-14 “For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself, Saying, surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”

Jacob Genesis 28:3-4 “And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, you shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father; and take a wife from there of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother. And God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a multitude (company) of people; And give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your seed with you; that you may inherit the land where you are a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.”

Joseph Genesis 48:3-4 “And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, and said unto me, Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a multitude of people; and will give this land to your seed after you for an everlasting possession.”

Israel Exodus 1:7 “And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.”

Please keep in mind one cannot dispossess what one does not possess from an internal configuration and operating principle. What I mean is that if you do not fully believe, accept and walk in the truth of this covenant promise, you cannot inherit the promise.  In this age/season we must reexamine how we walk; apply those scriptures in life, coming to the place where we possess/own the fullness of the scriptures, preserving knowledge and giving instruction. Babylon continues to attempt to erase knowledge of the kingdom of heaven in the earth. We must see Babylon as a counterfeit kingdom in operation in the earth.  The ekkleisa (Governing Church with authority and power) is supposed to be the conscience of the world.  We are to be fruitful, and multiply, to be a great and mighty nation as we preserve knowledge of the kingdom of heaven and give instruction according to the ordinances, statues, judgements, plans, purpose, strategies, and will of God.   Go out into the world and through influence, occupy till Jesus comes…Until the kingdom is made manifest in every system and area of life!
