Summary:  We introduce the notion of (completely) multi-positive linear maps between $C^*$-algebras, and show that a completely multi-positive linear map induces a representation of a $C^*$-algebra on Hilbert $C^*$-modules. This generalizes the Stinespring's representation and the representations constructed by Paschke and Kaplan as well as the GNS representation. We also construct the covariant representations on Hilbert $C^*$-modules for covariant completely positive linear maps. Using representations of $C^*$-algebras on Hilbert $C^*$-modules associated with completely multi-positive linear maps we establish another approach about representations associated with completely bounded linear maps.
