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.

Fragrance

  Fragrance   2 Corinthians 2:14-15   Now thanks  be  to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.  15  For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.   Today in a prayer meeting someone mentioned the word fragrance as they were praying. The first thing that popped into my head was of a college student who had come into my store yesterday.  This young man had gone a little overboard, in my opinion, with his cologne.  It was so strong that I could smell him coming.  I also have customers who come in to the store with a different type of fragrance, one that isn’t pleasant.  In both cases you can smell them before you even see them and also the fragrance sticks around for a while after they leave.  The point of this being that fragrance influences and ...
