Multiply a word that we only think of when we are doing math equations, but it is a Godly word that He wants us to think of on a daily basis. A parable in Mathew 25:22-28, Jesus talks about a master that leaves his talents with some servants for them to take care of for him, after he returns, he check in on them for a report of how they did and the ones that increased (multiplied) what was left to them were called good and faithful servants. Wow multiply isn’t just for math, it’s for our faith and service. Now I must tell you this was a real eye opener for me because I really like math and really understand multiplication from that stand point, but in the spiritual realm it is new to me. Now God has been showing me somethings lately about this.
I have been working with my family for quite awhile and have really learned a lot about what we do. My father took me under his wing and showed me how to be successful in the business we are in, now I am not saying I was able to learn and do all things that my father did to make the business a success, but he did share with me some of his talent. I have recently taken over the business and and trying to follow in my fathers footsteps but as I mentioned in one of the other chapters I was made aware of my sight being dimmed or clouded. This is one of the big areas that I was made aware of it. I have been trying to just float along not even realizing I had been doing it. No increase.. In the parable above, I didn’t mention about the one servant that didn’t increase.. He was called a ‘wicked and slothful servant’. He hadn’t lost any of the talent, but he didn’t increase it either.. Now that was quite an eyeopener, I was made aware I hadn’t been working for increase.
Good thing is I still have time, and God is a graceful, patient and loving God. In Phillippians 3:13 ‘forgetting those things that are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before’. I am working on moving forward, not looking back and working towards using these things that I have learned from my father working for an increase so I can be a faithful servant.
So what is it that you do? Have you been drifting, floating, or just getting by not giving your all? Maybe you’re feeling extra stressed because these are difficult times or something terrible has happened in your life. What areas in your life can you work for an increase. Please remember God is not expecting you to do this on your own, He is their for you anytime. You just need to ask.. Let’s be brave together and ask God for anything we feel we need to help us multiply.
Reflect and Call to action:
Reflect on where drifting, floating, or procrastination has happened in your life? Think about what’s one thing you can do to start moving forward. Set a time when you can start doing that one thing towards multiplying in this area of your life. And then, Just do it…
