Preacher: Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Text:
Luke 5:1-7
1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon
him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of
Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the
fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing
their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was
Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a
little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the
people out of the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon,
Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a
draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have
toiled all the night, and have taken nothing:
nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great
multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in
the other ship, that they should come and help them.
And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they
began to sink.
God loves fruitfulness!
Gen 1:27-28
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image
of God created he him; male and female created he
them.
28 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 fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing
that moveth upon the earth.
God loves children for they are His heritage
Psalm 127:3
The reason why God loves Children

Luke 13:6-9
God hates abortion and He hates miscarriages too
Exodus 3:26
Philippians 1:6
The only time God allows barrenness is as a

How do you know that there will be no more fruitless
effort in your life
1. When you will corporate with God. Peter welcomed
Jesus into his boat and stayed with Him. Psalm 23:6
Prayer:
Father I will corporate with you make me very fruitful.
2. When you obey Him to the end. Peter said I have
toyed all night and caught nothing. And Peter said at
Thy word I will obey thee. When God speaks where is
the science or the doctor because what He says doesn't
make sense.
Prayer:
Father I promise you from today I will obey please
Daddy make me fruitful.
3. When you become a permanent partner with God He
will make you fruitful. Hannah partnered with God and
He gave her a child.
Prayer:
Father make me your partner so that I will never never
fail again
4. God Himself will decree your fruitfulness. God decreed
to Peter, cast your nets into the deep. Gen. 1:20-22 (20
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the
moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly
above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21
And God created great whales, and every living creature
that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly,
after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind:
and God saw that it was good.
When God decrees a thing no one can reverse it
Gen 18:9-14
2 kings 4:8-17
Elisha said to the shunemite woman that you are going
to have a child but she doubted him
Prayer:
Explain everything you want to God and believe in Him
that your prayers are answered.
Can someone shout Halleluyah!!!
