4.7-Born to be fruitful and successful.

4.7-

You were born to win.  You were born to be productive and effective.  God, our creator has designed us to be useful and helpful.

When you work and do the job you were given then people are helped.  It might be your household chores as a child.  It can be work that God has given you as long as you live.  It is to use your gifts to server others.  There is fulfillment in having a job.  When you go to that job people recognize you and make you feel good about being alive.

Jesus pushed His disciples to be fruitful and so did his predecessor John the Baptist.

Matthew 3.
⁷ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. ⁹ And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. ¹⁰ The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

1 Peter 4.
⁹ Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. ¹⁰ Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

God is a God who is creative.  What a universe.  He created us and has empowered all people to have the capacity to be creative, productive and effective.

Think of what you do well and do it with all your might to the best of your ability and people will be blessed by you.
