Multiply
God’s heart is for His kingdom and purposes to not only multiply in our church, but in our lives. We see this principle in the first command given to mankind in Genesis 1:28, "Then God blessed them, and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.’” God’s promise to Abraham was also a promise of multiplication. “Blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies.” (Genesis 22:17) This principle continued in the life of the early church. They multiplied as they worshipped God and enjoyed the comfort of the Holy Spirit. "So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied.” (Acts 9:31) Join us these next 4 weeks as we believe God to multiply in your life.
