Gods will is that youre fruitful in every good work, and while at it, increasing in the knowledge of God. For some Christians, the more they make progress in their job, business, or career, the less time they devote to spiritual things. Their knowledge of God begins to wane, because theyre suddenly too busy to go to Church or study Gods Word. That should never be your story.

 

Our opening verse says, That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:10). God wants you to be fruitful in your job, in your academics, and in every good work. Dont be amongst those who only go to Church when they face challenges; then the moment they receive a miracle and things change, they forget the One who made it possible.

 

Your commitment to God, His Word, and the Church must be first, and absolute. The lesser is included in the greater; as you commit yourself to the Lord, and His Word, taking your Church attendance and other spiritual activities seriously, youll certainly be fruitful and productive in other areas of your life. 3 John 1:2 says, Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

 

To prosper means to be fruitful and productive. Here, He deals with both your natural and spiritual wellbeing. As you prosper in your finances, in your health, in your relationships, family, etc., He also wants you to prosper in your knowledge of God. He wants your revelation of Him to keep increasing. Thats how His grace and peace are multiplied in your life: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2).

 

Keep increasing in the knowledge of God by meditating on the Word. The result is that youll be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, always in blossom, and prospering in everything you do (Psalm 1:3). What a life!
