Being a true fisherman and a fisher of men for Jesus have almost equal results:
-Fishing in the natural world results in multiplication of fish.
-Fishing in the spiritual world results in multiplication of men and women in the Kingdom of God.
-Natural reproduction results in multiplication of living people.
-Spiritual reproduction results in multiplication of spiritual people.
-Natural reproduction is the result of life.
-Spiritual reproduction is also the result of life. It does not come through programs and promotions of man. Spiritual reproduction comes through the spiritual life flow of God.
-In the natural body, reproduction starts in a woman's womb with a single cell of life. That cell multiplies until a complete body is formed and a new baby is born.
-Spiritual growth is similar. It starts with the life flow of God in one man or woman. It multiplies in the spiritual "womb" of the Church.
Ephesians 2:18-22 "For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit."
Just as natural reproduction adds to your personal family, so does spiritual reproduction add to your church family. Those over the age of 60 make up the majority of regular attender of church services today. The families of our world are in jeopardy because of sin and despair. That's why we need once again to become fishers of men. Who knows the line between eternity in heaven or hell may depend totally on the line or net you cast out!
