Multiply!
the Key to living in God’s Blessing
The first thing God did after creating humanity was bless them. And immediately after this blessing, God gave them instructions on how to keep living in his blessing, beginning with four simple words: Be fruitful and multiply.
Then God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and multiply." Genesis 1:28
the cycle of God’s blessing!
God’s intent is that we’d do both of these things: become fruitful by receiving from Him, then take from that fruitfulness and multiply God’s blessing into the world around us.
In the New Testament this very same idea shows up again as sowing and reaping. And God’s promise is that when we sow generously, we will also reap generously!
We find this same truth over and over again in Scripture: God’s blessing will flow to us so it can flow through us. This is what allows God’s cycle of blessing to repeat over and over.
2 Corinthians 9:8–11 And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. … Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous.
The key to living in God’s blessing is to cause others to experience his blessing!
