“Increased Yield”

“Increased Yield”

Blessings folk!

As might be expected, the word “fruit” is used through Scripture to refer to the edible product of plant and trees.

Read the following excerpts.
Note what they say about “fruit”.

Exo 10:15
For they covered the surface of the whole land, so that the land was darkened;
and they ate every plant of the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left.
Thus nothing green was left on tree or plant of the field through all the land of Egypt.

After the plague of locust no fruit remained.


 Exo 23:16
“Also you shall observe the Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors from what you sow in the field; also the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field.

The fruit of their labor was to be gathered…Feast of Harvest, Feast of Ingathering.


 Lev 19:10
‘Nor shall you glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather the fallen fruit of your vineyard;
you shall leave them for the needy and for the stranger. I am the LORD your God.

The people of the Lord were not to be greedy with their fruit.
They were not to “glean” their vineyard…collect every last bit of fruit.
They were to let remain “the corners” and the “fallen fruit” for the needy…for the stranger.
They were used by the Lord as provision.
This also helped to combat a selfish spirit within the people.


 Lev 19:23-25
‘When you enter the land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden. Three years it shall be forbidden to you; it shall not be eaten.

‘But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, an offering of praise to the LORD.

‘In the fifth year you are to eat of its fruit, that its yield may increase for you;
I am the LORD your God.’

The Lord provided good horticulture techniques for His people.

Be patient as the fruit trees develop.
Short term patience bring long term growth and production.

Allow the fruit/tree to mature.
Offer the first offering to the Lord.
Then, receive the increase it gives you.

Good principles for us today.
In fruit.
Natural and spiritual.
