Replenish

Father, I thank you that you are a loving and a Just God.

I thank you that you have brought us here on one accord that we can know you better so that we can further develop Your kingdom. Father I ask that you would purify my heart even as I speak that your words and your voice would come through me as your vessel. I ask that you would forgive me for anything that I have done that would obstruct your word for your people I ask that your spirit would continue to fill this place. Bless your People and Edify our spirits. Amen.

As we have been moving through this Anniversary over the course a several meetings, with Our leader Pastor San desired for the Men of Harvest to take a word that illustrated creation of man outlined in the book Genesis. The word that I am sharing today is Replenish.

When we began to think of the Word replenish the first thing we wanted to know is where the word came from. I believe we as people should know where a word is orgiginated from. After doing a deep study I found the word in a Collegiate Dictionary

Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (Eleventh Edition) Replenish

This word means to Fill Completely. In the English we find it as the verb (replenish)

Lexham Research Lexicon of the Greek New Testament προσαναπληρόω

to fill something that had previously been emptied

I then wanted to know how many times does this word appear in the bible and, It shows up 248 times in the entirety of the bible. The hebrew word direct meaning is to Fill, and the bible mentions fill 248 times. So taking the word into context God has mentioned that he wants us to be be refilled time and time again. Weather the bible mentions the women who had nothing and emptied her oil out she was filled with the spirit.

here are some of the Verses:

Genesis 1:28: "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish 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 move on the earth."

Genesis 9:1: "And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth."

Jeremiah 31:25: "For I have replenished the weary soul, and I have satisfied every sorrowful soul.

Isaiah 2:6

Isaiah 23:2

Ezekiel 26:2

Ezekiel 27:25

But the verse that I would like to focus on is this indeed

The New Revised Standard Version The Joyful Return of the Exiles

25 I will satisfy the weary,

and all who are faint I will replenish.

We all have come here tonight looking for something from God and I believe tonight we are going to receive from Our Father.
