SOME SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT ON FRUITFULNESS: SOWING The SEED Of RIGHTEOUSNESS – To EFFECT The PEACEABLE FRUIT(S) Of RIGHTEOUSNESS!
God wants you to be FRUITFUL in everyway in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. His fruit(s) of righteousness are consequence of SOWING the seed of righteousness. For like begat likes, just as a Lion don’t give birth to a Goat and a Mango fruit does not reproduce a Cashew fruit – Genesis 1:11-12; Matthew 12:33-36; Luke 6:43-45 . Our character fruit of righteousness will always reproduce after it’s kind as we continuously sow the character seed of righteousness in everyway of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead.
And the WORK OF RIGHTEOUSNES which is PEACE toward God and humanity, has a corresponding EFFECT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which is QUIETNESS and ASSURANCE for ever in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, even as it’s written:
“And the WORK OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shall be PEACE; and the EFFECT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS QUIETNESS and ASSURANCE for ever” Isaiah 32:17.
As a results of the WORK and EFFECT of RIGHTEOUSNESS in FRUITFULNESS, herein are SOME PRINCIPLED SCRIPTURAL WRIT that are worth pondering and noting:
- IT IS ONLY THE GOD OF ALL GRACE THAT’S ABLE TO INCREASE YOUR FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AS YOU SOW YOUR SEED:
“And God is ABLE TO MAKE ALL GRACE ABOUND TOWARD YOU; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 9 (as it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. 10 NOW HE THAT MINISTERETH SEED TO THE SOWER BOTH MINISTER BREAD FOR YOUR FOOD, AND MULTIPLY YOUR SEED SOWN, AND INCREASE THE FRUITS OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS;) 11 being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God” 2 Corinthians 9:8-11.
- THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH:
“For ye were SOMETIMES darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: WALK as children of light: 9 (FOR THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH;) 10 proving what is acceptable unto the Lord” Ephesians 5:8-10.
- SOWING THE PEACE OF THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS:
“But the WISDOM that is from ABOVE (HEAVENLY) is first PURE, then PEACEABLE, GENTLE, and EASY to be intreated, full of MERCY and GOOD fruits, without PARTIALITY, and without HYPOCRISY. 18 And THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is SOWN in peace of them that make peace” James 3:17-18.
- ENSURING GODLY CHASTENING THAT YIELDS THE PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS:
“. . . 11 Now no CHASTENING for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it YIELDETH THE PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are exercised thereby” Hebrews 12:1-11.
- BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS:
“And this I pray, that your LOVE may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; 10 that ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; 11 BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” Philippians 1:9-11.
- THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS MUCH MORE THAN FOOD AND DRINK – IT’S ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT:
“Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17 for the kingdom of God is not MEAT (FOOD) and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is ACCEPTABLE to God, and APPROVED of men” Romans 14:16-18.
