Multiplication
CHAPTER 1
FISHERS OF MEN:
Jesus revealed specific methods which would enable His disciples to fulfill the command to
reproduce spiritually. The first and most important of these was given as part of the commission
in Acts 1:8. Disciples would multiply through the endument of power by the Holy Spirit. Other
methods were revealed as the followers of Jesus began to multiply and reach the world with the
Gospel. These methods are recorded in the books of Acts and the Epistles in the New Testament.
This course explains these methods of multiplication. It teaches you how to use them to
reproduce spiritually and fulfill God’s command. But first, you must understand what it means to
multiply. To “multiply” means to increase in number by reproduction. Multiplication is the
process of multiplying. When something is multiplied it is reproduced over and over again in
like form.The men Jesus first called as disciples were fishermen. They were men of action. They did not
catch fish one at a time. They used big nets to fish and brought in many fish of all kinds.
When Jesus called them to be “fishers of men,@ He revealed a similar plan for spiritual
multiplication. His followers were to “catch” men and women from every nation, culture,
language, and ethnic background. Their spiritual “nets” were to be filled Jesus called men to action. He said He would make them become fishers of men. They would
not just be spectators in God’s plan. They would be participators as they fished for the eternal
souls of men and women.
The call of Jesus is still the same. We are to become fishers of men. If we are not fishing, then
we are not following.
