Faith to Multiply

Faith is infectious. You will have seen it before, a man with confidence who can speak boldly and with clarity to calm the nerves of those around him. As a student, I learned this from my pastor, who would remind me of what was truly important and focus my attention on the positive when all I could see was a single negative obstacle.

The same is true of fear - it is our choice. We can decide what we would like to mutiply in the lives of those around us.

We can produce believers, who will pass their faith on to others. All it takes is a change of direction in how we see ourselves, a realignment so that we work with God's Spirit in bringing about positive change instead of reacting to the circumstances around us.

There is a cost, of course. But what price is too great for the One who bought us with His own blood? With that perspective, our hardships pale into insignificance and the benefits leap into prominence.
