FRUITFULNESS IS A MANDATE
In the original plan and purpose of God, every creature under the heavens was given the sole mandate of FRUITFULNESS and MULTIPLICATION. From the book of Genesis Chapter 1 verse 28, the mandate has been given and God expects this to be carried out in every area of our life.
This is to show that any man not experiencing Fruitfulness is every area is falling short of the original plan of God.
To be fruitful is to multiply, increase, or add to what’s already there, producing more of something.
A man is not expected to be born alone and also die without making an impact, this means that the fellow didn’t have any impact on the earth. Fruitfulness is not only by marriage but by adding positively to other lives to the extent they can point to you as their source of new life or a new beginning.
