To have a productive life means to be fruitful, influential, functional and effective. The bible clearly reveals God‘s plan for us.
Text :Jeremiah 29:11
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.the Apostle Peter writes to the Church in these words,
Text :2 Peter 1:3
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.I like you to notice that when Peter spoke, he carefully choose his tenses, speaking categorically in past tense, showing that the prophecy we read from Jeremiah, concerning God's promise of a hope and a future is now a reality. God's divine power at work in Christ Jesus has granted us this glorious life of fruitfulness, abundance, praise and excellence. Until Christians come into full comprehension of this fact, and begin to see themselves as God sees them, they will not enjoy God's best for their lives.
Productivity in life is not for a select-few, the Christian life is ordained for productivity. Let me show you what Jesus said to his disciples.
Text :John 15:16
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, and that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it youThis is awesome! He chose us for productivity, to bear lasting fruit, to be effective in life, not to beg or be beggarly, but to lead a life that permanently attest to his praise and glory, Hallelujah! "Productivity is not for a select-few,the Christian life is ordained for productivity"
Productive living therefore refers to leading a purposeful, influential and a fruitful life that reveals God's glory from day to day. God has made you the light of the World, God's instruction to you reading this to let your light shine so brightly before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven!
I believe that everyone in the body of Christ can truly come to that place where they become true light to their world, God's hands of blessing, and this will not happen by chance. We will have to harness God's principles for living to have this glorious life of praise and virtue.

But when the goodness and lovingkindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Thanks for sharing this amazing post with the steemchurch, as Christians we should live a fruitful life that reveals God's glory from day to day.

How to Be Productive According to the Bible
The Bible contains truth that applies to all of life and has a tremendous amount to say about how we live our lives and work our jobs.
The Bible’s view of work and productivity is vastly differelture’s view:
Our culture says work is for self-fulfillment. The Bible says that work is about glorifying God (Colossians 3:17)
Our culture says we should store up as much wealth as we can–the Bible says that we are to pursue eternal treasures rather than earthly ones (Matthew 6:19-20)
Our culture thinks that worship is what Christians do for an hour each Sunday. The Bible says that we can do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and give thanks to God the Father through Him
When we talk about productivity, God's first a for mankind was for him to be productive, when he told man to be fruitful and multiply, apart from that, we have to be fruitfuly produvtive spiritually as well by being a light that guides other people, being a lamp on the path of the world having perseverance, faith, joy, long-suffering and other fruit of the spirits
God created man in His image and He blessed us to be fruitful and multiplied and have dominion over all other creatures.
God want us to bear good fruit in our endeavors and in every aspects of our life,both physical and spiritual.
His thought is not our thought.
He always want the best for us, we just have to be the best for Him.
Seek a deeper understanding of God’s grace to us in Christ, because it cultivates productivity.
“But when the goodness and lovingkindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things,so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.” (Titus 3:4-8)
God wants us to have a productive life you know. In John 15:8, Jesus says:
"My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.” John 15:8 (NASB)
God wants us to bear fruit – much fruit the verse says. He wants us to be productive and it is the fruit that proves we are disciples of Jesus.
When we discuss profitability, God's initial a for humanity was for him to be gainful, when he advised man to be productive and duplicate, aside from that, we must be fruitfuly produvtive profoundly also by being a light that aides other individuals, being a light on the way of the world having tirelessness, confidence, happiness, lenient and other product of the spirits
"I believe that everyone in the body of Christ can truly come to that place where they become true light to their world, God's hands of blessing, and this will not happen by chance. We will have to harness God's principles for living to have this glorious life of praise and virtue"
Totally correct. Well Said.
Thanks @benlegend
In addition,to have a productive life means to have a life that is in accordance with God - a righteous life.
Until Christians come into full comprehension of this fact, and begin to see themselves as God sees them, they will not enjoy God's best for their lives. Productivity in life is not for a select-few, the Christian life is ordained for productivity.
realizing that regardless of what happens, triumph is sure beyond a shadow of a doubt when we make the wisest decision. These book of scriptures standards can make us profitable throughout everyday life.
Indeed you are right. God plans for us is of good and not of evil. God wants us to be productive in life in all we do. God has a plan for us as a christains,, he want us to take dominion on all things on earth. All this can not funcrion if you are not save.
Thanks for the detailed post about productivity in life.
In my opinion, to be productive means to be a blessing to your family and society and brother and your brother is anybody that needs your assistance.
thanks for sharing this beautiful post with us all

Productivity is a command from God. He said in Genesis 1:28 "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish j 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 k upon the earth."
What a way to live life with full assurance, knowing that no matter what happens, victory is absolutely guaranteed when we do what is right. These bible principles have the ability to make us productive in life. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot @jaff8
What an approach to live with full confirmation, realizing that regardless of what happens, triumph is sure beyond a shadow of a doubt when we make the wisest decision. These book of scriptures standards can make us profitable throughout everyday life. A debt of gratitude is in order for sharing.
God's heavenly power at work in Christ Jesus has allowed us this superb existence of productivity, plenitude, acclaim and greatness. Until the point when Christians come into full perception of this reality, and start to consider themselves to be God sees them, they won't make the most of God's best for their lives. Efficiency in life isn't for a chosen few, the Christian life is appointed for profitability.
Seek a deeper understanding of God’s grace to us in Christ, because it cultivates productivity.
