BIBLICAL FATHERHOOD--THE GREAT NEED OF THE WORLD 4. f) HE HAS A VISION FOR A GODLY DYNASTY THE BIBLICAL FATHER SEES HIS CHILDREN AS ARROWS

8c) GOING ABROAD ARROWS continued

Men, this country is in desperate need to raise its own arrows. We need a fresh revelation of God's original mandate in Genesis 1:28; 9:1 6-7. We need a great multitude of righteous arrows to influence many other nations that are in a greater state of darkness than we are currently. Of course, we all know that God not only loves Americans, but all the nations of this earth (John 3:16). As righteous God-fearing arrows we must do all that we can to influence the whole world with the great and glorious message of the Gospel of Christ.

It's not only being fruitful and multiplying children, but multiplying arrows for righteousness (Psalm 127). More children is not the only statement in the Genesis mandate. There is the fruitfulness and multiplication of the divine image of God manifested through the righteous seed. This is the image of Christ being propagated and spread abroad through all the earth. Somehow, and one day, this will happen.

Numbers 14:21 says, "But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord." God has solemnly given this promise and if our generation does not have the faith to do it, God will raise up another generation that will believe Him for it.

Obviously God's ultimate intention is that this whole world will be filled with the glory of the Lord, which is all that He is and stands for. Will we believe God enough to fill our quivers with the GOING ABROAD arrows?
