The Basics of Multiplication

January 19, 2022

We are created to multiply, it’s the basic instructions given.

(Separation is part of the process of multiplication. You (I) need to be isolated to focus on Yahweh). 

If there is anger, deception it will be multiplied.

If there is joy and contentment, it will be multiplied.

I don’t know how this multiplication will look though. We often think of it in terms of children but clearly it’s not.

I can’t have it my way and Yahweh’s way at the same time. Where do I need to confront in my life? What needs to be addressed?

Today…is okay. Mentally not 100. There’s a lot of thoughts running through my mind, but the most prevalent is, “I need to take care of myself right now.” Yes, I want to be there for others. Yes, I want to ensure others are not hurting, but I need to ensure that I am okay. That I am walking the path set for me. That I’m truly aligned and surrendered to your way or I will end up back in the same boat I was in.

Yahweh, I pray for this department. We have been stretched so thin that we are at a breaking point. Most times I feel stuck, like we’re treading water. We don’t have the staff, the resources and we are struggling. I am struggling. Help us please, show us what we can do. Show us how we can grow and to actually do the work we want to do. We need you.

Thank you, Yahweh, for hearing, for moving on our behalf. Help us not to doubt when you instruct, but to move forward on your word. Thank you for who you are. I love you. 

Thank you for reining me in. Help me to do the work in me. Amen. 

I often speak about David, Joseph and others who had to wait a while for the fulfilment of God’s promise. But I never thought about Jesus. Jesus was anxious to do what he was called to do, but he also had to wait. He attempted to jump the gun at 12, but even in that moment, he realised that he had to wait. It was 18 years before he was called to service.
