Power Of Multiplication

Key Scripture:  "Go forth and multiply!”  Genesis 1:22

Power Point:

     From the very beginning, God has always loved multiplication. His first commandment to Adam and Eve was to “Go forth and multiply!”.

     Imagine waking up to your first day in the garden of God’s care and discovering the beauty God has sown all around you.  Imagine seeing what happens when God gives you good seed to sow in your life, and it begins to grow and flourish all around you. And then imagine, walking through your prosperous land and picking some of the fruit that is growing there and giving it to the people around you. That’s the idea, Beloved. God still plans for us to go forth and multiply, just as He did in the beginning.

     In II Corinthians 9:8 He gives us the perfect commission through the Apostle Paul. He says that He offers to fill us with abundance so that we never have a need.  Yes. He really says that.  In fact, He says it this way, “And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient (possessing enough to require no aid or support) and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation.” Our lives get to be “living proof” that God is good. Paul says we are enriched to enrich others so that they can enrich others and so on and so on. The result of that is that everyone sees how good God is and says “Thank YOU!” to Him. It’s supposed to be a glorious unbroken circle of the generous heart of God.

     Isn’t it just like Him to come up with such a generous plan and to generously include us in it? In this day and in this economy we tend to be tightening our purse strings don’t we?  We “see” less and so we give less. We need to “see” what God has said and respond in the way He has told us to don’t we? If we don’t, guess what! The circle of blessing is broken and God has to find someone else to put it together again.

     You woke up a blessed person this morning. You are blessed so that you can be a blessing. You are blessed so that you can be generous. You are blessed so that you can carry out God’s thoughts on generosity to everyone.

If you’re willing, He is able to make all grace, every earthly blessing abound to you so that you can bring good things to every one else.  It’s all in how you look at it isn’t it?

Get up and get going! The world is waiting.

The more you give, the Bible says, the more you will have to give.
