MULTIPLICITY | October 2013

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.”

- Gen. 1:28

The first instruction to man was to BE (exist, live)...

We don’t “do” things and then “be”, we “be” so as to “do”.

² And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

- Romans 12:2

(When Nicodemus said “no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him, Jesus said “You must be born again.” - John 3:1-7)

May a fresh grace to BE all we were called to BE, come upon us, empowering us to do all that we need to do in this tenth month and onwards.

Then came the mandate to be fruitful (Fruitful Vine | September 2013)

¹¹ Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. ¹² And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. ¹³ So the evening and the morning were the third day.

- Gen. 1:11-13

Bundled in the mandate to be fruitful, is the grace for multiplication. A fruit bears in itself the seed that makes it capable to multiply.

In this tenth month of DOUBLE (honor, favour, speed, grace etc), May the fruits you’ve produced hitherto (and those to come), usher you into the realm of multiplication.

⁷ Instead of your shame, you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.

-      Isaiah 61:7
