THE BATTLE OF MULTIPLICATIONS
Jesus multiplied the loaves and fish, and continues to multiply food, money, time, and energy for those who give Him their all. Satan reacts to this by doing some multiplying of his own. Satan multiplied Theudas' followers, and helped Judas the Galilean also build "up quite a following" (Acts 5:35-37). Satan loves to multiply the followers, financial support, and media coverage of people and projects opposed to God's kingdom. Look at the seemingly miraculous multiplication of Planned Parenthood's resources in this generation. It seems that Satan is better at multiplying than Jesus is. Of course, Satan has an advantage. He can multiply sin, and there is plenty of that for his use. But Jesus multiplies total commitment, which is rare. However, Satan's multiplications don't last, while Jesus' multiplication miracles endure.
Give Jesus the raw materials for a multiplication. Give Jesus everything, and He will multiply it to overcome Satan's culture of death with a new civilization of life and love.
