The Greatest Multiplier


I'll never forget yesterday.

I was surprised to see husband and wife Richard and Joyce, new worshipers in my church (since two months ago) visiting me at my office. I was even more surprised when Richard handed me the 40 DOP participation form for himself and his wife! Never would I dare to imagine Richard would join because when I first invited him last month, he told me he had gone through it last year. God has answered my prayers!

For the past two months I have trying hard to get participants. I know I can never over-promote such a wonderful Godly program! I even set a personal goal. I also promoted at cell groups by making personal visits to them. I sent out countless sms'es. Now I see that when we do His Work, the fruits our labour will come! Just like planting one water melon seed - we get a bunch of water melons with hundreds of seeds in them. In the same way, God multiplies whatever we give him.

Let's remember this verse:
"Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness." -
2 Corinthians 9:10 (NIV)

And the proof:
With the 2 sign-ups in the morning, my friend and church member Rita (whom I've already recruited) called me around noon and told me that she was going to submit 7 forms to the church office! That was the knock-out punch to me - in a wonderful way! To complete the beautiful day, I went out last night to recruit one more - yes, a perfect 10 to God's glory!

Remember when we give a seed of faith to God, HE will multiply it.

I'll never forget yesterday.
