A special message from my heart about how this ministry
I want you to know that as we move through 2012, the need is greater than ever for Christians to be committed to God’s command: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:14).
Thank you for standing with me during such an important and historic time. The year is proving to be one of the most powerful times of spiritual anointing I have experienced in over 12 years of ministry.
The Bible says, “We are laborers together with God” (1 Corinthians 3:9), and God has given us many victories during recent months.
I have made this commitment, and I will never break it, never turn back from it! I will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ as long as God gives me breath. And I pray that God will continue to speak to your heart to do all you can to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.
Thank you for your trust and confidence in me, and thank you for sending me to the nations of the world. I am redoubling my efforts to see more souls than ever before won to Christ. But I cannot do it without you.
Thank you for standing with me in this important season of great harvests, You are my precious partner, and I love you very much.
I believe 2012 will be your year from Heaven! And I am asking you to continue to step out in faith by sowing your precious financial seed so multitudes can hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Throughout the Old and New Testaments, the Lord instructs us as His children to worship Him through our giving. Jesus Christ said, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again” (Luke 6:38).
He also warns us, “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:19-21).
THE MEASURE OF YOUR SEED
Paul the apostle tells us that we receive in proportion to our giving:
He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:6-8)
We reap what we sow. If we sow a small handful of corn or wheat in a field, we can expect only a small harvest. On the other hand, if we sow several large barrels of seed, we will reap an abundant harvest.
Your harvest depends on the amount of seed you sow at seedtime!
Paul also says that when we give to the Lord liberally, when we give according to God's plan and purpose, we can expect to receive an abundant harvest from Him. There is no doubt about that fact.
It's an eternal fact and an unfailing law—you can never lose when you give to God in expectation of the harvest. You can count on it!
When I say, according to the proportion that you sow, I mean that you will receive according to the measure that you use when you give. Look back at the last portion of Luke 6:38, “For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
Mete in this verse means “measure,” so the Lord Jesus was saying that with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you. If you give liberally to the Lord, He will bless you and prosper you abundantly. You will receive abundance in return. If you give little, you will receive little. You cannot expect much if you sow little.
PLANTING CHEERFULLY
After Paul reminded the church in Corinth of the law of the spiritual harvest, he told them that God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9).
Sadly, some Christians today give when they feel pressured or guilted by gimmickry. That is not what the Word of God teaches. The Bible says that only when we give from our hearts will God respond!
The Lord encourages us to test him by giving our tithes and offerings cheerfully, freely, and willingly, and then see the glorious results (Malachi 3:10).
God wants us to give from our hearts, not from our heads. If you faithfully and willingly give to God, if you plant seed according to His Word and will, then God's promises of blessing and prosperity belong to you!
A FULL, DIVINE, CONTINUAL SUPPLY!
There is no question—you will reap an abundant harvest when you give freely!
In fact, the Lord promises that all sufficiency will be given to you: “God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work” (2 Corinthians 9:8). Notice the word all.
You will have all sufficiency in all things!
The word sufficiency is translated from the Greek word autarkeia. It actually means “full supply for all your needs.”
Think about it! God wants to give you a full supply to meet every need in your life. All-sufficiency! A full supply in all things!
The Amplified Version of that passage reads:
God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation]. (2 Corinthians 9:8)
In this verse Paul the apostle not only refers to spiritual blessings but also to financial blessings!
As you give to God, He promises to pour out His blessings into your life in such an abundant way that you will lack nothing.
That is a promise of divine sufficiency in your life!
That is a promise of a continual flow of God's blessing in your life to meet every need you will ever face!
So today, regardless of the financial needs you may be up against right now, God's promise to you is divine and total sufficiency. He will meet your needs.
Do not allow the devil, the enemy of your soul, to intimidate you and fill your mind with worry and doubt. Keep planting your seeds. Keep giving to God. Keep believing and expecting Him to fulfill His divine promise.
Sow your seed and begin to walk in His divine sufficiency!
For we know it is “not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts” (Zechariah 4:6)...
Preaching the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ,
teaching the unchanging Word of God, and
expecting the mighty and miraculous
power of the Holy Spirit,
Shine Still
