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
