The God of Multiplication: Called to Go, Called to Grow

This Sunday at Myrtle House Community Church, Ellen Chapman reminded us that we serve a God of multiplication. From Genesis to Revelation, God has always been about growth—blessing, expanding, and transforming lives.

Yet there is a manifesto of Jesus that the church too often forgets: “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). This is not a suggestion, not just the job of pastors or leaders, but the calling of every follower of Jesus.

Ellen challenged us to reflect: Do we live in partial obedience? Because as she reminded us, “Partial obedience is disobedience in disguise.” If we truly follow Jesus, we will do what He says—go, be salt and light, and bring His presence into dark places.

God is in the business of multiplication. He multiplied oil for the widow in 1 Kings. He multiplied bread and fish to feed thousands. And He multiplies blessing, goodness, and growth in the lives of His people. But He calls us to play our part—to sow seeds, to pray for growth, to give, to love, and to disciple those around us.

Discipleship doesn’t just start after someone says “yes” to Jesus. It begins when we love, serve, and walk alongside people, showing them Christ through our actions as much as our words.

So here’s the challenge Ellen left us with:

• Will you pray daily for growth and multiplication?

• Will you fast one day a week to see God move?

• Will you spend intentional time loving someone who doesn’t yet know Jesus?

• Will you live generously, sowing into God’s Kingdom?

Revival isn’t a mystery—it comes when God’s people pray, obey, and step into the harvest field. The Lord of the harvest is ready. The question is, are we?

God has chosen you as a worker in His field. He wants to multiply through you. So, what are you multiplying with your life? What impact are you making in the lives of others?

Let’s be a people of true obedience, willing to go wherever He sends, and watch as God brings the harvest.
