NEVER SEE MAN AS YOUR SOURCE WHEN IT COMES TO FINANCES FOR THE HARVEST
NEVER SEE MAN AS YOUR SOURCE WHEN IT COMES TO FINANCES FOR THE HARVEST
The main reason why I was never offended when they gave me very little for ministering to them and also unimpressed when they gave me a lot is because it is impossible to finance me anyways. It will surely result in a great blessing for people when they can get involved with what God is doing but no one is really capable of funding the vision God has laid on my heart. (This is also one of the reasons why I will never charge a conference fee when organizing an event, besides the fact that it isn’t biblical).
So, then you are a person that cannot be bought who sees God Himself as the only source of his provision, Jesus Christ - your beloved employer and CEO - because the only thing that matters in your life is to be involved in Gods great quest to see mankind saved and restored. Gods provision flows inevitably into what He is doing in the present.
“When Gods work is done in Gods way, it will never lack Gods provision” ~ Hudson Taylor
“For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!
If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me.
What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the gospel.
Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.” ~ The apostle Paul
