On a wall in the Museum of Natural Science in Chicago, there is a checkerboard with 64 squares. In the lower lefthand corner is a grain of wheat. The display includes this question: "If you doubled the amount of wheat as you move from square to square, how much would you have when you reached the 64th square? A carload? A trainload? You would have enough wheat to cover the country of India six feet deep."
That is the power of multiplication. Suppose you go out and reach one person for Jesus. Stick with that person for six months. Help, encourage, and strengthen him. At the end of six months, there are only two. At the end of the year, there are four of you. At the end of 18 months, there are eight; two years, 16. Do you know how many people there would be at the end of 17 years? More than the entire population of the world, more than six billion. Stop and think about what you can do!
The Lord is looking for men and women to follow Him and for those men and women to reproduce their lives in others. Today, in prayer, Jesus says that He is using people who avail themselves to Him in order to bring greater glory to God.
"When I see with what little effort souls can be won, I tremble to think of the many opportunities I am missing. We must do what we can - the little things. God will save them." - Malla Moe
