II Timothy 2:1-2
“You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.”
Have you ever been approached by someone and offered an opportunity of a lifetime? All you had to do was sign-up under them, purchase a pre-determined amount of product or service and then start signing up others under you.
It works! Well, most of the time it does. Years ago, Joyce and I became involved in a self-defense product similar to pepper spray. Before long we had thousands of people who had signed up directly under us or at least in our personal down-line. It was going smoothly until the president of the company was found guilty of financial impropriety. (He cheated!)
From time to time there is a charge from authorities that a company is operating a pyramid scheme as opposed to a multi-level format. I am not enough of a legal mind to clarify the issue, but from what I have been told it is this: “You must market a legitimate product at a reasonable price in order to be a multi-level and not pyramid.”
All of that background to get to the point of our calling to engage in a multi-level ministry. Jesus gave His great Commission for His disciples to go into the entire world. How can we do that? I think Jesus gave us the answer. He had three disciples who were the closest to Him, then came the other nine. Do you get the picture? After His resurrection, His disciples created their own group who formed their own group and so on.
We have the most valuable “product” in the world — eternal salvation. In order to pass the word along we need to tell an intimate group and challenge them to tell others. Think about it, if I disciple three to disciple three, in just eight levels we could reach over 4,000 souls for Christ.
The key is to get started. You may try it by trying to get three people to subscribe to the Daily-E-Votional. Then you could discuss the material and go far beyond what I have had the time to present in a condensed format. Will you go into all the world?
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
