“Be…” (Part 3)

“Be…” (Part 3)

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fowl of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. (Genesis 1:28)

I used to hear people say: “When E.F Hutton speaks, everybody listens.” In all actuality, I have no clue what E.F Hutton ever said that left an impact on my life. But I listened when the Jesus said in St. Matthew chapter 4 verse 4 “It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God” When God speaks to me, I listen. When God spoke through my Pastor on December 31, 2010 about the theme for 2011, using this scripture text, I listened. When this woman of God called me on January 6, I listened. When God spoke creation into existence, creation listened. God spoke to light, light listened. When He spoke to sky & water…sky & water listened. When He spoke to land & sea, vegetation, the sun, the moon and the stars, they all listened. Now God is speaking to you through this daily devotion, are you listening?

God has already told us to “Be.” He said: “Be fruitful and multiply. God continues to add to what He has said. He is now saying that the third way he wants you to be blessed is in the arena of replenishing. To replenish means to fill a void that had been previously empty. Life can empty you out, leaving you depleted, weary, and fatigued. So much so that you wonder do you have anything left to give. Your prayer life is depleted…your ability to study the Word of God is depleted…your desire for ministry is depleted. There is nothing you can do about what has passed and that is now empty, but Acts 3:19 says: “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” Repent and tell God you are sorry so that when the blessing of replenish will come, you will be ready to receive.

When God fills those voids (replenish), you begin to feel brand new! There will come a praise out you that previously seemed lost. Psalms 96:1 says: “O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.” You will remember Lamentations 3:21-23 “This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope (replenished). It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. You come to a place of replenish when you remember who you are. “Therefore if any man be (exist) in Christ, he is a new creature…” Because we are (be…exist…abide) in Christ we should exist in the refreshing presence of the Lord.

There is a cliché that says: “Today is the 1st day of the rest of your life” We are in a New Year, this being the first month of the New Year. Today you can start to be all that God has destined you to be. It is time to exist…remain…obtain…be in a place of replenish, where every void is filled!!
