Many in the Americanan church today fully embrace the concept that ministry is about multiplication. Perhaps the problem is that they see ministry as multiplication ourselves, and in multiplying ourselves, the goal is that we even multiply Christ. But faithful ministers, which all of us should be, recognize that more often than not, true multiplication will happen through generations of believers, and therefore it will occur slowly.

00:00:43 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the
00:00:47 mouth of God.
00:00:48 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:50 ministry is about multiplication and therefore faithful ministers must think in terms of
00:01:00 generations and therefore faithful ministry is often slow many in the american church today
00:01:11 fully embrace the concept that ministry is about multiplication perhaps the problem is
00:01:19 that they see, rightly, that ministry is about multiplying ourselves.
00:01:26 And in multiplying ourselves, the goal is that we even multiply Christ.
00:01:30 That Christ, who is in us as we mature in Christ
00:01:33 by the work of the Holy Spirit and his grace and sanctification,
00:01:37 that we might begin to reproduce that in others.
00:01:40 As Paul says, follow me as I follow Christ.
00:01:43 And so the church, I believe, at large, rightly acknowledges
00:01:49 the reality that ministry is about multiplication i think perhaps the problem is that although the
00:01:56 church recognizes that faithful ministry focuses on multiplication they somehow assume that
00:02:03 multiplication is going to be quick they had somehow assumed that that a person would be able
00:02:11 to grow themselves in Christ's likeness quickly
00:02:16 and then reproduce that same quality of Christ's likeness
00:02:20 in the lives of others quickly.
00:02:23 But the reality is that most often, this is not the case.
00:02:31 Even Christ himself took three years with his disciples,
00:02:36 training them, equipping them,
00:02:39 or i believe it would be faithful to say entrusting something in them to them making
00:02:46 a spiritual deposit in their lives christ didn't do a three-day conference with the 12
00:02:54 and then send them off christ invested in them day after day after day for years and they too
00:03:05 spent not just moments, not just weekends, not just months,
00:03:11 but their very lives with their disciples,
00:03:15 entrusting something to them.
00:03:19 Ministry, faithful ministry, is focused on multiplication.
00:03:24 It has as its goal, multiplication.
00:03:29 But faithful ministers, which all of us should be,
00:03:33 recognize that more often than not,
00:03:38 true multiplication will happen
00:03:41 through generations of believers.
00:03:45 And therefore, it will occur slowly.
00:03:49 Thanks so much for listening.
00:03:50 But real quick, before you go,
00:03:52 do us a small favor, take a moment,
00:03:54 and leave us a five-star review
00:03:56 if you enjoyed the show.
00:03:57 This is undoubtedly the best way
00:04:00 that you can help us get this
00:04:01 biblically faithful content
00:04:02 to as many people as possible.
00:04:05 Thanks so much.
