MEMORISE: 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 moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1 : 28.
READ: GENESIS 1: 27 – 28.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
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 moveth upon the earth.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JOB 8 – 10.
Another attribute of a divine midwife is that he or she must be able
to earn a reward from God. God rewarded the midwives of Exodus 1 and He
is looking for those who can work hard to earn His commendation. “Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.” 2 John 8, His commendation does not come cheap: it must be earned. The way you are working for Him, can you earn His ‘Well done?’ If you consider His dealings with people in Bible times, you will
notice that God loves fruitful people. He loves progressive increases
but prefers multiplications. When the servants who received five and two
talents returned to their master, with a double of what they received,
they got the same level of commendation (Matthew 25 : 14 – 23).
God
loves multiplication! In Genesis 1 : 27 – 28, immediately after creating
Adam and Eve, He commanded them to be fruitful, multiply and replenish
the earth. These are stages in growth. God wants you to start by bearing
fruit, and then move to the stage of multiplication of the fruits so
that you can eventually dominate the earth. Many of us stop at bearing
fruit which should be our starting point.
It is time you moved up to the stage of multiplication. If you were
winning a soul to Christ per month, now win 10 souls or more to Christ
per month, but do not stop there. Lead them to the believers class to
disciple them. Follow them up and ensure that they are doing what you
have done. In other words, reproduce yourself in them so that they too
can do the same. As this chain continues, a time will come when your
spiritual children will be in different parts of the world, taking the
world for Jesus. Thank God for the past years of winning minimal souls.
Increase your efforts and become a mentor to your converts, and they to
their converts down the line. If we can take this up and be committed to
10 souls monthly for a year and mentor them to the point of each
getting their 10 souls, in less than five years, we would have reached
out to the world. Arise and start your chain of converts today!
ACTION POINT:
A convert you win today can lead 100 souls to Christ. Go for your 10 souls this period
