BRINGING FORTH
David Abankwah
READ: Genesis 1:11, 20, 24
And she will BRING FORTH a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
-Matthew 1:21 | NKJV
After God finished creating man in the Garden of Eden, what He was expecting from man was not the naming of the animals that He had created. Man was not created to roam about and have fun in the heaven he was in. He was not created to fill vacuum. He was not created to be rich. The utmost purpose why man was created was to bring forth the likeness and image of God. For man to undergo this process of fruitfulness, God specially put into man a seed because God knew He didn’t have to use dust to create man again as He did for our progenitors.
God limits the soul to become smallest to fit into a sperm. God then knits the body of the unborn baby around his soul like clothing until it fits perfectly. Anytime the soul grows, the body of the baby expands. The growth of the body depends on the growth of the soul. Any physical thing doesn’t happen when it is not first accomplished in the spirit. It takes about nine months for the soul to be fully developed until it is released or brought forth. You see how good things take time to be accomplished or brought forth?
To bring forth something, there are lots of processes you have to go through. You can see that, the career of the baby (mother) has to go through many pains, patience, steadfastness, longsuffering and several physical developments or transformations. Until you are impregnated with ministry, you can’t bring forth anything that is concerned about ministerial duties or responsibilities. For sin to be accomplished, you first have to conceive lust as a baby and when sin becomes an adult, it is then transformed into death (James 1:15).
God wants us to bring forth righteousness, holiness and sanctification but these cannot be achieved when we don’t first conceive the seed who of the Holy Spirit (1 John 3:9) who is the Word of God. Because the seed of the Holy Spirit is what conceived Jesus Christ, He was unable to practise sin and became the first man to ever lived without committing any sin. It is the Holy Spirit that brings forth fruits such as faith, love, peace, longsuffering, goodness, kindness, gentleness, meekness, and temperance. What are you bringing forth today? Is it sin or righteousness?
