Mathematical Approaches.

Our God is a God of multiplication. He takes the smallest, most humble of offerings--a few fishes and loaves, two coins sacrificed by a poor widow, faith the size of a mustard seed, a hodgepodge band of zealous disciples, a newborn baby tucked away in a manger--He takes things that the world would deem insignificant and multiplies them in impossibly huge and beautiful ways.

Don't you dare believe that what you have to offer is too small for God to multiply. Don't you ever flatter yourself into believing that your weakness could ever be greater than His strength. Would it sound more legit coming from the Bible? Well, here you go then:
"Think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of the world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him." -1 Corinthians 1:26-29  
Satan, however, is focused not on multiplication, but on division. Dividing the Church through denomination, and political parties, and race, and age, and gender, and preferences in music, and minute disagreements on points of theology, and carpet color, and a thousand other instigations that keep us fighting among ourselves instead of coming together as a single Body and fighting for the Kingdom of God.

It's time, kids. To give our Father our undivided hearts, our undivided minds, our undivided attention. That's all it takes. The multiplication is up to Him.
