I will start off with just with a brief introduction. Do you know what it means to be a powerful and productive believer? More important, did you know that this is what God wants for us all? Did you know that God wants us all to produce after Himself How do I figure? Let me show you.
There are two great commissions that God discusses in the very first chapter of the Bible. To go out and do two things: subdue/take dominion, and to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28). God is the wisest thing He knows, and as we already discussed, God is love. So God loves us enough in order to give us these things that He knows in order so that we reflect His Image (Hebrews 1:3) and Likeness (Galatians 5:22-23). However, in order to do these things we must walk with God and defeat the things in our business that separate us from Him.
If we take a look at 1st and 2nd Corinthians, as well as many of the epistles, Paul takes a deeper look at the mechanism of things that separate us from God….you know, sin. However, we sin because our belief is not fortified in Him. Why do I say that? Because Philippians 4:6-7 tells us so. When we worry, we lose security (faith) in Him, so that leads us to sin, but when we go to seek Him out and defer the totality of our business to Him, then we get that peace that empowers us to go do whatever it is we need to do (Philippians 4:13). Let me just take a moment to give you a bit of a nugget to munch on. When reading Phi 4:13 in the amplified version, it says that my sufficiency is in the sufficiency of Christ (paraphrase).
