Chris.
God desires us to be fruitful! I believe that this fruitfulness is firstly in the Spiritual realm, as True Believers, that we commence our walk with the Lord in obedience to Him. Then, this fruitfulness is also in the material way. This means that in whatever we do, we will do it for the Glory of God. Doing it like this will prove us to be spiritually fruitful.
