INSPIRATION ALL THE WAY...

YOUR FUTURE IS DETERMINED BY YOUR GIVING

Continuing in the mind blowing expositions and revelations by the Spirit of God, our man of God Pastor Chris informed Partners this morning of the importance of giving in their lives. According to Pastor, the Awards are to celebrate our victories and outdo our past. “So it is important that you step up your giving, don’t wait for a call before you give. If you wait, you may not have it before the need comes. A lot of people don’t have the readiness when its time to give. Give of all your increase so that there’s a harvest awaiting the needs of His ministry and His work.”

Pastor noted that when we give, God opens more doors for us and strategically positions us. “The call to give is in our message; when you hear what we’re planning to do, get involved for that’s your participation for your sowing and your harvest. Your future is determined by your giving, not your receiving because when you believe in something, you give your best to it and what you believe in will determine who you turn out to be.”

According to Pastor Chris one’s knowledge of God depends on the knowledge of His word and this determines the quality of the person’s life. For example, a lot of people live under the notion that the Church can be healed when healing is required but 1 Peter 2:23 tells us the Church has its own healing mechanism because God gave the Church eternal life from the life giving Spirit which is greater than healing.

Pastor explained that this is not mind or head knowledge, but a revelation that will produce results in the life of anyone that walks in it.”Learn to encourage the work of the Spirit in your life”, Pastor admonished. “A lot of Christians need direction and when they encourage the work of the Spirit, they get the direction they need. To know God’s voice more clearly, study His word and when you get to know God’s voice, you become a solution and answer to the cries of many because the scriptures are able to make you wise and increase your knowledge of God’s word.”

Using Galatians 2:19 as reference Pastor admonished Partners not to frustrate the grace of God in their lives. “Let it work to the full capacity. Speak in tongues and faith filled words”, he added.

Pastor concluded by telling us to get so conscious of the Holy Spirit that we see less of our humanity and more of our divinity. “Get more conscious of your association with Christ, as this will give you a firm foundation in Him. Your first response in any situation should be the word of God but that can’t happen unless you’re in constant fellowship with Him.
