Topic: GOD DID NOT SAY THAT
TEXT: Genesis 1:28, Jeremiah 29:11.
Genesis 1:28, NIV: “God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
INTRODUCTION
Our Lord God, the Master of the universe is perfect in all His arrangement plans for mankind. He created everything including man in dynamism, that is why there is uniqueness in the look and function of each of the creations.
Men as the image of God are fearfully and wonderfully made. Every man has his peculiarities with great potentials, wisdom and knowledge to display the glory of God on earth. But the sad story is when devil grew wings and wanted to equate himself With God, he was impeached and cast down to the earth, then, he decided to put abnormalities into the original work and plans of God for man. The devil has assigned its agents to spread the abnormalities across the world.
The good news is the appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ and the sacrifice He made on the cross of Calvary.
1 John 3:8 NIV
“The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.”
We shall by the leading of the Holy Spirit cut across what God didn’t say and the enemies are trying to bring to you as if they were in the original plan of God for you.
HE DIDN’T SAY YOU SHALL LABOUR IN VAIN.
If you look at the background scripture, Genesis 1: 28, the last statement God pronounced on man was to… dominate… subdue… to be fruitful. That is, every kind of work you wish or choose to do, which is in accordance with the arrangement of God for you, you shall prosper in it. It’s not by your strength, knowledge or wisdom, it is by God’s knowledge, strength and wisdom where His blessings lie.
Finally on that, Isaiah 65:21 reads thus: “They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.”
HE DIDN’T SAY YOU SHALL BE BARREN.
Barreness means, unproductiveness, unfruitfulness, desolate, empty, stagnancy, etc.
Barreness could be in child bearing, career, business, inability to fulfilling your vision and dreams, ill-luck, disappointment, etc.
Whatever the experience of barrenness you may be going through right now, that is not the original plan of God for your life.
“…Be fruitful and increase in number…” is the pronouncement of God for your life when He created you and there is no imperfection in His plans for you. He confirmed this in the book of Exodus 23:26
“…And none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span.”
The only barren woman in the Bible was Michal, the daughter of King Saul who was the first wife of king David. She became barren because she mocked David when he was giving his dance offering to God.
For you to enjoy the benefit of fruitfulness, you must give your life to Jesus.
HE DID NOT SAY YOU ARE UNFORTUNATE
Text: 1 Chronicles: 4:9-10 (NkJV)
9. Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in a pain.” 10. And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested.
Many have been victims of circumstances that gave them names that was not originally attached to their destiny. Devil is trying to paint the picture to them as if it is from the Lord. The plan of God for you is the plan of good, not of evil. Whatever anybody said concerning you is not the final say; it is left for you to accept or reject it because it’s a suggestion.
Jabez stood in prayers to nullify his mother’s pronouncement that had affected the original plan of God for his life and he was totally restored. His story changed from a man that was vulnerable to a man that was indeed honorable.
I don’t know what anyone might have said that is affecting you right now and that has put your life in bondage, can you just align yourself with the Destiny Changer (Jesus Christ), the One who has the key of your life in His hands? He will deliver you.
CONCLUSION:
This is the mind of Jesus to you:
Matthew 11:28-30 (NKV)
28. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Jesus loves you. He didn’t say that your present situation is your final bus stop. You shall be lifted.
Let’s pray:
Please, pray the following prayers very seriously. A miracle is knocking at your door.
1. God, I thank You for Your grace on me.
2. Father, have mercy on me.
3. Oh Lord, let every chain of retrogression holding me down be broken today.
4. Everything You didn’t arrange for me but the enemies have packaged for me be totally separated from me today.
5. Every attachment of barrenness on me be separated today in the name of Jesus.
6. Every work done in the coven to make me unproductive and unfruitful is totally nullified today.
7. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, every yoke of barrenness in my life is broken now!
8. I avert and erase every evil pronouncements against my destiny by the blood of Jesus Christ.
9. Every monitoring agent that wants me to get stucked at the peak of my success, recieve the sword of fire.
10. I shall go beyond every human limitation and embargo set for me In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
