Topic: 7 Days of Sacrificial Giving - The power of prayer and our financial giving
Pastor Earnest,
When God is inviting people for blessing, which side will you be?
Whenever God announces that this is what I'm going to do, he's not expecting you to queue up to receive. You are the one through whom God is distributing his goodness to others. He said, I have blessed you and have made you a blessing. You have already been blessed when you were born again. From there, you are to be looking out for those God wants to bless.
Sermon - Pastor Christine Omolome
You are living for a purpose. We are called out for a purpose. God selected us. Like the bible says even before the foundation of the earth he called us. But are you walking in that purpose?
When we talk about partnership, it's not about the program or material we're giving for, it's about the lives we're changing and the power and grace we're making available to them.
We are the blessed, looking for those to bless. So whatever the ministry wants to do, we are ready.
We are giving towards LoveworldSAT, and our regional Pastor Ambrose, has instructed us to do 7 days fasting and prayer, while giving. Giving is spiritual, it's an act of the spirit, so the only way to do it the way God wants you to do it is through prayer. That's why we're fasting and praying. We're not just giving, it must achieve what that giving is for.
We're agents of change. Through prayer we superimpose the spiritual over the physical. It enables us to bring the realm in which we live and reign, to affect the physical. Otherwise we'll be like every other person.
But do you understand that we are in a war? Look at the things that are happening int the world today? But thanks be to God we're in the right time in God's calendar because He can trust us enough to bring in the sheep. Can God trust you that as he's talking to you right now, your'e ready to respond to him? Pastor told us about the relay race. If you came at this time, you're in God's best team. God knows we can be trusted with the souls of the whole world. And we're doing it through our giving. So you have to understand that it's spiritual and it has to be backed up with prayer.
Let's take a look at 5th November - Rhapsody
It says, Give more time to prayer.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1
Pastor gave an instance in the old testament, during the time of Esther and Mordecai, where Hayman, the kings friend, made a proposal to the king and through him made a decree for the execution of all the jews. Bible says when Mordecai perceived what was happening he began to pray. This was a man who did not have the spirit of God inside him, but we are the battle axe of God. Can you perceive what is happening in the world today? Will you be that man that God can use to change the world?
James 5:16 (AMP)
It tells us how Elijah caused a change in his time through prayer.
Mordecai caused a change in his own time caused a change through prayer.
And that's exactly what we're doing. When we're talking about 7 days of prayer and fasting, and giving sacrificially, we're saying that "Lord, we're causing a change in the whole world and you can trust us."
Pastor specifically gave us LoveworldSAT to sponsor as a region. That means God is trusting us to put him on the vehicle of LoveworldSAT to reach all around the world. We're the ones to empower the spread of the gospel. Our money when offered through prayer, brings life to everything around us.
Romans 8:19
Ecclesiastes 7:12
Your money is your defense, do you know that? Thankfully God has given us the wisdom to use it and plant it in the right way. So that it will multiply and yield results for us. So we're not just looking at how many assets we have, but how to plant it and make it a defense for us.
It's not enough to have money without wisdom. But we also have wisdom because Christ has been made wisdom onto us. All that we require is isnide of us.
