Be a part of the Multiplication

Event: Saul in Damascus and Jerusalem

S - Scripture
Acts 9 v. 31 So the Church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was built up; and walking in the fear of the Lord and comfort of the Holy Spirit it was multiplied.

O - Observation
Multiplication. This verse is awesome in its self, but even more amazing when you consider the verses just before it.  Acts 9 v. 23b, "The Jews plotted to kill him. (Saul)" And Acts 9 v. 29, "And disputed against the Hellenist; but they were seeking to kill him." So there was all this anger and hatred towards the church, yet this verse indicates that they had Peace and grew. Fascinating. How? 1) Fear of the Lord.  The Church members knew in their heart Jesus was the Christ. He was/is the savior of the world. 2) Comfort of the Holy Spirit. The church followed where God lead them. They knew that God will not fail them. These are the multipliers.

A - Application
Am I into Mathematics? Am I into Multiplication?

P - Prayer
Jesus, Put me in the equation for growing your church.    Love Will
