When God said, “Be fruitful and multiply” in Genesis 1:28, He wasn’t just talking about having children or filling the earth. He was giving every human being a divine pattern for how to live; how to create, grow, and multiply from what He already placed inside of us.
All it takes is a seed.
The cool thing about a seed is what’s inside it — potential.
Inside every seed sits the power to produce multiplied more of the same thing.
If you plant a mango seed, you won’t get a coconut tree. You’ll get a mango tree that will bear fruit year after year after year. One seed becomes a tree, and that tree produces hundreds of mangoes, each one filled with more seeds — more potential.
You and I are the same way.
Inside you, God placed seeds — gifts, ideas, talents, passions, dreams — and within each one is the potential for something that will multiply over time.
When I look back, I started with one seed, writing.
That seed grew into speaking, teaching, coaching, starting businesses, mentoring others, and creating resources that help people live fearlessly.
All of that came from one seed.
So when God says “Be fruitful”, He’s not commanding you to hustle or strive. He’s reminding you that He’s already given you something that can grow.
Your job isn’t to create the seed. It’s to plant it.
Plant it in good soil.
Water it with consistency.
Expose it to light. Surround yourself with the right people and environments that help it grow.
And when the time comes, prune it to remove what no longer serves your purpose so the fruit can flourish.
The problem is, many people never plant their seed. They wait until they feel “ready” or until conditions are perfect. But seeds aren’t meant to stay on the shelf. They’re meant to go in the ground.
Fruitfulness starts with obedience.
When you act on the seed you already have, God multiplies what you do.
So today, ask yourself:
What’s the seed I’ve been holding onto?
What would happen if I finally planted it?
Because inside that one seed could be your next book, your next business, your next breakthrough, and the fruit that feeds generations after you.
Be fruitful. Plant what you’ve been given. The harvest will come. 🌱
