“And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.”
Genesis 9:1
After her small shop burned down, Mama Grace felt life had ended. Everything she built for years disappeared in one night. She sat on the ashes the next morning, weeping. But as she prayed, the verse came alive in her heart: “Be fruitful, and multiply…” Fruitfulness wasn’t about what she had lost, it was about what God was still able to produce through her.
Instead of quitting, she started again with just a stool, a cooler, and faith. People mocked her tiny beginning, but she kept speaking God’s covenant over her life. Within a year, that same small spot became the biggest food stand in the area. God didn’t just restore her; He multiplied her.
Fruitfulness is not limited by what you have; it is empowered by who blesses you. When God speaks “be fruitful,” everything around you must align to produce increase.
Charge: Stop focusing on what you lost, focus on what God is still able to grow through you.
