You don't need 100 people… you just need ONE.In this heartfelt sermon, “As You Sow,” Pastor Beto Rivas shares his vulnerable, faith-filled journey of sowing seeds in hard ground—preaching to empty chairs, losing possessions, battling discouragement—yet refusing to quit.Through powerful stories like C.T. Studd's generational conversion and real-life testimonies from Equatorial Guinea, Pastor Beto reminds us:
Jesus didn't curse the tree because it was out of season—He cursed it because it gave the appearance of fruitfulness with none of the substance. He wasn't being petty—He was being prophetic.He was saying:Don't just look alive. Be alive.Don't just talk the talk. Walk in truth.Don't be leafy with no fruit—because faith without fruit is just foliage."Be Fruitful". by VASHAWN MITCHELLwww.BibleDeliverance.org

Be Fruitful and Multiply: Embracing Multiplication in Business In the whirlwind of daily tasks and business responsibilities, it's easy to feel like you're constantly running in circles. The endless to-do lists and the mounting expectations can lead to feelings of burnout and frustration. However, by embracing the concept of multiplication based on God's message to be fruitful and multiply, you can alter your mindset, apply strategic thinking, and transform your business approach. Shifting Your Business Process Embracing God's plan means you must first lay down your plans. Many women have become masters of addition and are good at getting things done and checking off their to-do lists. However, this often also leads to burnout and frustration because they do not see the return of all their efforts. Shifting from being masters of addition to kingdom multipliers will help you implement God's purpose. The Power of a Renewed Mindset Learning to be fruitful and multiply begins with an open mindset based on Scripture. We've been programmed to do more, and many of us fall into this trap. For example: Lone Cowboy Tract: This is the thought that you need to make something of yourself. It keeps us isolated and small. Anything multiplied by 1 is still small. The Idea of Lack: When you get in the mindset of I just don't have enough ______ or If I only had ____. When you enter this mindset, you bring negatives into the equation; multiplying by a negative equals a negative. Many scripture verses tell us to change our mindset. It is an active process to renew our mindset in Christ and change our thoughts to believe that God is on our side. Community: The Heart of Multiplication Learning to be fruitful and multiply in business involves more than just strategic moves; it's about building strong, genuine relationships with others. Working together with other like-minded individuals not only amplifies your influence but also fosters mutual support and innovation. This community-first approach reflects a relational model where deep connections lead to exponential growth, much like how early successful movements have spread despite limited technology.

Gardening with God-Part 9-Be Fruitful & Multiply-Pieter Weenink(Stellenbosch) by GraceLife Podcast
Be Fruitful and Multiply - The Call to Disciple Others Introduction: In Genesis 1:28, God commands Adam and Eve to "Be fruitful and multiply." This command is often associated with the physical act of bearing children, but it also carries a deeper spiritual meaning that can be applied to the calling of discipleship. As followers of Christ, we are called to make disciples, multiplying the faith in the lives of others. Just as a tree produces fruit that contains seeds to grow new trees, so should our lives bear fruit that plants seeds of faith in others. Scripture Foundation: * Genesis 1:28: "God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.'" * Matthew 28:19-20: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." * John 15:8: "By this, my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples." 1. The Call to Reproduce Spiritually In the same way, God's creation mandate called for the multiplication of people, Jesus' Great Commission calls for the multiplication of disciples. Our spiritual fruit—our character, faith, and love for God—must lead others to faith in Christ. Every believer is tasked with reproducing their spiritual life in others through discipleship. Application: * Invest time in others—be intentional in forming relationships where spiritual growth can take place. * Look for opportunities to share your faith and invite others into a journey with Christ. 2. Discipleship as Cultivation Discipleship, like cultivating a fruitful garden, requires nurturing, time, and attention. As a farmer who tends the soil, waters the seeds, and patiently waits for growth, we must commit to helping others grow in their walk with God. True discipleship is not just about conversions but about fostering spiritual maturity. Application: * Mentor others by spending time with them in scripture, prayer, and life application. * Encourage those you disciple to remain rooted in Christ (John 15:5). 3. Multiplication Requires Sacrifice Fruitfulness in discipleship often requires personal sacrifice. As Jesus modeled in His relationship with the twelve disciples, there is a need for selfless investment in others. This may mean giving up time, energy, and resources to walk alongside others as they grow in their faith. Application: * Embrace a service mindset, knowing your sacrifice leads to eternal rewards. * Prioritize discipling relationships, understanding their long-term impact on the kingdom of God. 4. Empowering Others to Multiply The ultimate goal of discipleship is to create disciples who will go on to disciple others. This is how spiritual multiplication happens. We are not only to make followers of Christ but also to equip them to lead others. The fruit of our discipleship is only complete once it reproduces itself in others. Application: * Encourage those you disciple to disciple others. * Teach practical ways to share their faith and build up others in their spiritual journey. Conclusion: "Be fruitful and multiply" is a charge to believers to participate in multiplying God's kingdom through intentional discipleship. As we bear spiritual fruit, we plant seeds in others that, by God's grace, will grow into new followers of Christ, who, in turn, will disciple others. This is how the gospel spreads, how faith communities are built, and how the world is transformed for God's glory. -- Praise Tabernacle Dr. Joshua Kennedy, Pastor 2235 Ocean Heights Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234 pastorjosh@praisetabernacle.com praisetabernacle.church (609) 927-4560(w), (609) 402-8869(c)

I don't talk about politics on my show. I talk about creativity and I interview guests who can help all of us step into our creative selves. But then J.D. Vance started talking about "childless cat ladies," and as a woman without children, I have a problem with that. So I thought it was important to air a story I told on the StoryCollider stage some years ago about my ambivalence towards motherhood and my call to become an artist. The story is part of a larger piece I've been working on called "Be Fruitful and Multiply." If you have any feedback, I'd love to hear it. You can reach out to me at podcast@triciaroseburt.com.
In this podcast, Coach Tom interviews friend, author, speaker and Kingdom trainer, Rob Reimer. You will hear of God's work of healing in his own life, and through him to others around the world.Some key concepts:Finding God's fit for you will bring more fruit and more fun.God wants access to your heart and soul...often that is achieved through pain.There is no power without the cross. Impartation requires character and intimacy to sustain it. We must die to live.Apart from God you can do many things, but you can do no Kingdom work without abiding.Not every need is your assignment.The secret to success is to find out what God wants of you and do it, no matter the personal cost...and there will be personal cost.__________________________Dr. Rob Reimer's passion is to see the Kingdom of God advance through spiritual renewal. Rob began Renewal International to assist pastors, leaders, and churches globally to equip the people of God to live in freedom in Christ, and to walk in the fullness and power of the Holy Spirit.Passionate about Jesus, personally transparent, and saturated in the Word, his books including Soul Care, River Dwellers, Spiritual Authority, Deep Faith, Pathways to the King, The Soul Care Leader, Calm in the Storm and The Tenderness of Jesus incorporate lessons God taught him over the years through life, marriage, and ministry. During conferences, Rob not only teaches these lessons, but provides activities for participants to begin working them into their lives. These transformativeexperiences challenge people to walk in the light with God and others and help people to practice hearing from God and accessing His power for ministry. Without Jesus, we have nothing to offer!In addition to his work with Renewal International, Dr. Reimer has served as Professor of Pastoral Theology at Alliance University in NY, NY, and as the founding and lead pastor of a church in New England.Explore more of Rob's resources, view his itinerary, or invite him to speak atwww.renewalinternational.org__________________________You can connect with Coach Tom at:https://greaterformation.com/Email: Tom@GreaterFormation.com P.S. ...

How do you build anything in the world ... especially the things God wants you to build?o Some hope … some pray – and don't see anything happen o Often people are praying for “Magic” that God will make something appear or happen from nothing … but that's not generally how things work. o A hope/prayer without a plan is often just a dream o Some hope and plan … and still nothing happens … you need work/action o Faith without Action/Work is dead … lifeless, powerless (James 2:26) Building anything in this world, whether it's a project, a skill, a relationship, or a dream, requires a combination of three essential elements: Time, Energy, and Money. These components form a triad that interconnects and influences the process of creation and development.

In this episode, Coach Tom interviews Marina Dalton-Brown, a friend who started as a client in his coaching program.

There's never a good time, from a human perspective, to do something that requires a miracle to happen. It's never the wrong time to do the right thing. The worst time in our eyes for man to accomplish something is always the best time for God to show up and do the miraculous. Thanks for listening! visit www.gracecitychurch.com for more content.
Before Jesus went back to heaven, He told His disciples how He intended to populate it: by using them (and us) to introduce others to Him! No doubt you feel inadequate to help others live forever—but fortunately, you're not on your own. In fact, if you will “remain” or “abide” in Him, He promises to produce eternal fruit through you. The critical question is, how do we remain/abide in Christ? The post Be Fruitful and Multiply first appeared on White Pine Community Church.
This podcast is a recording of a recent teaching I did.I describe what I consider to be a wholistic and whole-person approach to discipleship based on Ephesians 2:10 "We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.God has given you a gift ... yourself!He wants you to:Receive the giftOpen the giftEnjoy the giftOwn and Master the giftAim the giftInvest the giftAs you listen to this teaching you will be renewed in your personal discipleship journey, as well as your discipling of others.~ Coach Tom__________________________You can connect with Coach Tom at:https://greaterformation.com/Email: Tom@GreaterFormation.com P.S. ...
