Multiply Your Life
First Things First (part 4)

As the believers rapidly multiplied... Acts 6:1 NLT


Do the Math


 * Let God Add

Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. 	Acts 2:46-47 NIV


 * Let God Subtract

The Lord said, “Gideon, your army is too big. I can’t let you win with this many soldiers. The Israelites would think that they had won the battle all by themselves and that I didn’t have anything to do with it.” 	Judges 7:2 CEV


 * Never Divide

Warn anyone who tries to get believers to take sides and separate into their own little groups. Warn him more than once. After that, have nothing to do with him. You can be sure that someone like that is twisted and sinful. His own actions judge him. 	Titus 3:10-11 NIrV

these evil results: ...selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group...	 Galatians 5:20 NLT

Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “Any kingdom that fights against itself will be destroyed. A family that is divided against itself will fall.” 	Luke 11:17 NIrV


 * Aim to Multiply

You have heard me teach many things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Teach these great truths to trustworthy people who are able to pass them on to others. 	2 Timothy 2:2 NLT

Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to do everything I have told you. I will be with you always, even until the end of the world.		 	Matthew 28:19-20 CEV

Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, multiplying thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times. 	Mark 4:8 NIV


These words I speak to you 
are not incidental additions to your life... 

They are foundational words, 
words to build a life on. 
Matthew 7:24 Msg
