BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY

Sometimes in life, we go through many difficult situations.  We might lose our job, lose our home,
go through a divorce and find it very hard to generate money to pay our bills.  In order to make it through these difficult times we have to learn how to follow the plan of God.
Genesis 1:26 God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness and let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea and the fowl of the air, the cattle and over all the earth.
Then in vs 28 God blessed them and said, be fruitful and multiply, replenish the earth and subdue it.
God gave us dominion over all the earth. Dominion means the power or the right to govern or control, to rule, it means sovereign authority.
These are the 4 keys of the kingdom to follow in order to have dominion:
1. BE FRUITFUL- When God said be fruitful, he wasn't talking about just having a lot of children.
Fruitful means to be productive; to produce something; to make a profit.  Poverty is a lack of self
production. Poverty means to be non-productive.  When you are non-productive, that means you lack
creativity. We need to be fruitful in our mind, so we can produce ideas.  God has billions of ideas,
all we need is one.
2. MULTIPLY- to reproduce what you have already produced.  In every state and in every city, all over the world, you will find a McDonalds restaurant.  They sell Big Mac's, it's there brand, their name is on it, they sell millions of Big Macs all over the world.  They produced an idea and then multiplied it. When God gives you an idea, produce it and then reproduce it, until it multiplies over
and over again.
3. REPLENISH- means to distribute, it also means to make full or complete again.
You can have a warehouse full of your products, but if you never distribute them, they will just sit there and collect dust.  Nothing will cause a business to go under quicker than having inventory
with no place to go.
4. SUBDUE- to conquer, overpower, dominate.  Bill Gates, followed God's plan successfully.  He was fruitful in his mind and produced Microsoft, then he reproduced it and distributed it all over the world.  He became a billionaire with one idea. He overpowered and dominated computers.
What are we doing with the talents, abilities and gifts God gave us.  We need to tap into those gifts and capitalize on it.  Can you bake, can you write or draw.  What are you passionate about.  When you find your passion, you will find your gifts. Put your name on something, find ways to produce the ideas you have.  Stop talking about it and do it.  God said be fruitful-produce; multiply-reproduce replenish-distribute; subdue-dominate.
When you follow these 4 kingdom keys of success, you will have dominion.
