And God blessed them, And God said 29 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 2: unto them, be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth 30 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of 31 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 2: the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and 32 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Take 33 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: a moment to pour out your adoration to God. God. 34 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: I praise you for your power and love demonstrated within 35 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: your creation. All your work is done in faithfulness. I 36 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: worship you for creating me with a plan and for 37 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: a purpose. I give you praise for the productivity you 38 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: have predestined for my life. I exalt you, Lord for 39 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: the wonderful things to come. I praise you for the 40 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 2: good work you have conceived and prepared for my life 41 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: creation with a purpose. There is a reason why satisfaction 42 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: comes from completing tasks and accomplishing goals. And the reason 43 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: is because you were made to be this way. You 44 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,119 Speaker 2: were not created to be idle. Humanity was conceived by 45 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: God to interact with himself and the world he brought 46 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: into being. Even before corruption entered this earth through sin, 47 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 2: God's creation had a purpose. Back in the garden of Eden, 48 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: Adam and Eve were instructed to build a family and 49 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: to oversee the rest of what God had brought into existence. 50 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: In other words, they were instructed to be productive. And 51 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: although sin has altered how we currently fellowship with God, 52 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: it has not altered God's intention and purpose for his creation. 53 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: This is why, in order to live a more productive 54 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 2: and satisfied life, you must first recognize the purpose for 55 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: which you were made. You must recognize that God put 56 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: you on this earth to have a relationship with Him 57 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: and to be productive. Perhaps you have been unaware of 58 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 2: this truth. Perhaps you have chosen to ignore the fact 59 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 2: that God created you so no matter the reason, this 60 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 2: is your chance to change your circumstance, to acknowledge that 61 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: God has goals and plans for you to achieve, to 62 00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 2: embrace the truth that you were made for more. Take 63 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 2: this opportunity to present yourself before Christ and to confess 64 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 2: your sins to him. Take a moment now to thank 65 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: God for your life and your purpose. Thank God for 66 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 2: the breath you breathe and for giving you the opportunity 67 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 2: to be here. Thank God that you were created by 68 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 2: His love for a higher purpose.

Thank God for setting 72 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 2: you as the crown of his creation. God is present 73 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 2: and he is listening to you. This is your moment 74 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 2: to reach out to him. Ask God for his divine 75 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: revelation in your life, for him to show you who 76 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: He has created you to be. Ask the Holy Spirit 77 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 2: to solidify the knowledge that you were made to be productive. 78 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 2: Ask him to quicken your spirit to enable you to 79 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,559 Speaker 2: be diligent and determined in your work. Ask the Holy 80 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 2: Spirit to empower you to seek the blessings that have 81 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 2: been promised unto you. Ask Him for his favor and 82 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 2: grace to be upon you and over all you do 83 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 2: remember you were not created to be idle. God created 84 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 2: you with a plan and for a purpose. You were 85 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 2: not made to sit on the sidelines and watch life 86 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 2: pass you by. You were made to conquer this world 87 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 2: through Christ. You were made to go forth in God's 88 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 2: strength and to achieve all the blessings He has for you, 89 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 2: blessings of family and of prosperity.
