A fruitful and flourishing life is a life of testimony towards the faithfulness of God. The Will and desire of God for everyone is to be fruitful and flourishing These brings praise and honour to God. Right from the creation of man, God empowered man to be fruitful. Fruitfulness is a sign of life. How can you function properly and make an impact when you are not productive. Not only do God desire us to be fruitful but also to flourish. Fruitful life brings a deep satisfaction. It is the fulfilment of God’s purpose for man. What good is a tree or investment if it doesn’t bring much fruit. Fruitfulness is what the gardener or farmer expects when he plants a seed, when he grows a vineyard. His expectation is that the garden will be fruitful, that he will harvest fruits. When a person recognizes God as his source of existence and reverence Him; the life of God will flow to him that will result to fruitful and flourishing life. As Christian, we are united with Jesus. Fruitfulness is the natural byproduct of a healthy Christian. It is the result of several important elements at work in the life of a Christian. A fully devoted, committed, faithful Christian is a fruitful, growing and maturing and producing much fruit of righteousness. Fruitfulness is implanted in a believer. A believer that abides in CHRIST will always grow, increase, abound, flourish and reproduce much fruits. As a Christian who wants to be relevant and useful to your community and effect changes in a positive way, you must recognize and stay in your source which is God and His Word and learn the ways and manner God has designed for a fruitful and flourishing lifestyle. As you abide in Jesus’ and His Word, fruit-bearing becomes a natural thing that the Holy Spirit produces through you
