WHAT FRUIT ARE YOU EATING? CAN IT BEAR SEED? ARE YOU BEARING SEED?

The early and possible first commandment sequentially given by God was to " be fruitful and multiply" (Gen 1:29) . ironically we are told not to eat of the tree with the forbidden fruit. Since we are told earlier that we could eat of every tree that beareth fruit that beareth seed (Gen 1:29b), the forbidden fruit must not have been able to bear seed and those who ate of it could possibly be less likely to be fruitful and multiply.

This commandment was also given to Jacob later on in Genesis 35:11 Rachel and Jacob were true to this commandment This was especially true after the discovery and use of the FRUIT of love-apples (the equvalent of Viagra) which Leah;s son (Rueben ) found in the field .  Rachel's later extorted Rueben and Leah  to get Jacob to sleep with her utilizing his original love-apples. Rueben could have been given Bilhah to sleep with who was Rachel's handmaid and was one of Jacob;'s wife. (Did you missed this in the daily reading)

  Rachel had a difficult delivery with Benjamin (born after Joseph). and later died. This may have been due to a ruptured uterus and shock from bleeding out. In essence , Benjamin was born at the expense of his mother's blood. Paul is later born as Saul to yield the fruit of 2/3 of the Word of God, because of this history.

We are also able to to be fruitful and multiply with our humility  which is a Spiritual Fruit and product after LOVE.  We must stay connected to the vine of Jesus (John 15) in order to bear this fruit. It is by Jesus' blood and. death at the cross that we can claim victory in faith over our adversary who represents death, lies and stealing.

 Have you prayed to yield fruit  lately or even for more workers to yield fruit ? Have you found yourself eating the fruit that beareth no seed and then yielding only works of flesh, having been tempted by the adversary and your flesh? It is easy to do in the land of plenty, with capital of which was predominantly built upon the backs of slaves.

This is the season to repent and return to Jesus where you can eat of the Tree of Life namely in listening to your Pastor, reading and meditating on the Word he preaches, and praying to do it. The whole armor of God can also be sealed with this daily prayer protecting among the whole the thought life , as you pray for our Pastor and the leadership under him. This WILL yield the fruit desired.
