Be fruitful and Multiply

 As Christians we are to not only be fruitful but we are also supposed to multiply.

Not simply meaning having babies.

The great commission is to go make disciples, which is to reproduce yourself. Actually to be a true disciple of the Lord you must reproduce yourself by making disciples.

Sadly, in the Church, we mistake being fruitful with success but that is only part of it.

I know of super gifted and fruitful people in the Church who the Spirit has and is doing great things through. Sadly they haven’t and aren’t reproducing themselves. So not only is the work of Christ limited because these people can only do so much and only be in the places they are but when their life here on earth is done there is no one to continue the work.

Let me encourage anyone who reads this to not only be fruitful but also to multiply.
