In God\u2019s economy, 1+1 \u2260 2.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The God of this universe is not bound by mere mathematical equations as we\u2019ve come to know them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My God, our God is a God of multiplication. He wants to be and do more than we could ever calculate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Staring into the face of my sweet week old baby boy, I began to think of how this addition would impact our family.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1 more mouth to feed.<\/em><\/p>\n 1 more person to nurture.<\/em><\/p>\n 1 more person to pack up.<\/em><\/p>\n 1 more person to be responsible for.<\/em><\/p>\n 1 more way to split the financial resources.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As these thoughts bombarded me, the Spirit gently led me to pray. As I began praying, the Lord began to speak. His words ministered grace and truth. He said, \u201cWith your natural eye, you may see subtraction or division, but in this blessing of baby #6, I bring compounded blessing. Indeed children are a blessing and the fruit of the womb is a reward\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I look up once again into the sweet face of my baby boy and sensed a surge of oxytocin, the love hormone flowing through my body. The Lord continued saying, \u201cThe surge of love you feel staring at this baby is but one example of how I multiply. This overflow of love is not just for your new baby, but it overflows to your other children. The patience, gentleness, kindness and love that are bonding you to your new baby will be compounded and shared with your other children.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So what brings about God\u2019s abundant multiplication in your life?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n OBEDIENCE<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cNow it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God\u201d\u00a0Deuteronomy 28:1-2<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n God can take our \u201cnot enough\u201d and multiply it exponentially<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cHere is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?\u201d Jesus said, \u201cHave the people sit down.\u201d There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.\u00a0John 6:9-11<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n God longs to empower you so that you perform mighty works in His name<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, \u201cTell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?\u201d \u201cLet me inherit a double portion of your spirit,\u201d Elisha replied.\u00a02 Kings 2:9<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n God\u2019s economy is not what we see<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n In God\u2019s economy 1+1=3<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n More akin to synergy<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Not seven times,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n But seventy times seven<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n One could chase a thousand<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n And two put ten thousand to flight<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Divine multiplication<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Blessing, anointing, power & might.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n God\u2019s desire is for you to experience His divine multiplication.
