The Power of Partnership pt 3

We have been studying about the Power of Partnership. I know when a lot of people here that term, the first thing they think of is “He’s going to ask for money!”  I know it. But that is not what true partnership is about.

True partnership in ministry involves a lot more than financial offerings. Finances are important. Very important. Every ministry I know of needs money to keep going. Including ours…

We learned that Philippians 4:19, which says, “But my God shall supply all of your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus,” was written to people who were partnering with Paul in the Gospel and gave to his ministry on a regular basis. 

Paul confirmed that in 1 Corinthians 16:2, where he wrote to his partners in the Corinthian church, “On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside” (New King James Version).

The partners Paul was talking about were systematic, deliberate givers. They were important to the success of his ministry.

I’ve also taught that the reason God prospers you is so that you can establish His kingdom here on the earth, and if you seek to build that kingdom, then He will provide a supernatural divine flow that will meet all your needs. I can promise you that when you pray and ask God for direction in your giving and then respond to that, He will take care of your financial needs better accidentally than you’ve ever been able to do on purpose. 

These are all powerful truths, but I want to show you an aspect of partnership that I believe very few Christians understand.

Proverbs 18:16 says, “A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men,” but it’s not talking about skills, talents, abilities, or even anointing. 

I used to think it was, as a matter of fact; I used that verse in that exact way until I began to study it in greater detail. But that is not what it means…

When you give into another ministry – and I have to emphasize – a ministry which the Lord puts upon your heart to give into… that is very important.. but when you do that, it is not only to support their work and help meet their need – it is to obtain an open door for what YOU NEED as well.

When you give to a ministry, you not only bless the people that are being touched by that ministry, but you start a supernatural flow of your finances, and you partake of the anointing and the blessing that’s on that minister’s life. 

It’s not bad to want the anointing that is on my life or that of another minister. The Bible says that we are to desire spiritual gifts. I really believe that the things that are operating in my life have come in part, not totally, but because I have supported great men and women of God. 

I gave on purpose, saying, “God, I want to be a part of that. I’m going to sow part of my life into this person and into that ministry and, by doing so, open a door that allows the blessing that’s on them to flow toward me.” 

It doesn’t just happen automatically; you have to have faith. But I believe that you can start seeing these things happen in your life just as I have seen in mine - if you will mix faith with your gifts.

I ask you to consider sowing into the work we are doing all over earth as we help others to “GET THE WORD OUT!” Amen!

Just use the link down below to sow your tax deductible gift for this year, before December 31^st. Amen!
