What is partnership?
The Apostle Paul wrote to the Church at Philippi and said:
"I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of
mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel
from the first day until now..." (Philippians 1:3-5) Here, the word
fellowship can also be translated as "partnership." It describes a covenant
relationship between two parties who have common interests. The purpose of
their partnership, or covenant relationship, is to accomplish something that
neither of them could do alone. The Apostle Paul knew he could not minister
the Gospel alone – and neither could the Philippians. It took all of them
together. That was Jesus’ cause and God’s plan. We come together for the
sake of Jesus – for His cause and for what He has called us to do. As we
have Christ vaulted in our hearts, together we make an effective difference
in this world in which we live. As we are connected together we can accomplish
something greater for God that neither of us could do alone. You have become a
vital part of everything we do.
Partnership has its benefits!
When Jesus launched His 12 disciples into ministry, He made a point to teach
them this principle concerning the "rewards" of partnership. We find Him
explaining it to them in Matthew 10:40-42, "He who receives you receives
Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. He who receives a prophet
in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives
a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s
reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in
the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his
reward." When Jesus called His disciples out one by one, He told them, "Come,
follow Me!" They responded by joining with Him. They made a divine connection by
becoming partners in His ministry. As a result, the same anointing that flowed
through His life and ministry flowed through theirs. It is exciting to know the
rewards we receive from our partnership in God’s work are given to us as earthly
rewards, as well as, heavenly rewards! When you come into partnership with us as
we are doing the work of God out on the frontlines and you are fighting along
side us through your prayer and through your finances, God makes no distinction
between you and us. You are guaranteed rewards for every person born again,
healed, touched, and delivered through this ministry.
Getting in touch with the anointing of increase... sowing and reaping.
The apostles approached Jesus about increasing their faith in
Luke 17:5-6, "And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this
mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it
would obey you." The apostles went to Jesus because they wanted their faith
to increase, or grow. He in turn, explained that their faith was like a seed.
If they would plant it, it would grow. In other words, faith follows the law
of seedtime and harvest (Genesis 8:20-22). It must be planted…and it must be
allowed to grow. The Apostle Paul gives us further insight into sowing and
reaping in Galatians 6:7-8, which says this: "Do not be deceived,
God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who
sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the
Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life." The bottom line is that
the law of sowing and reaping is a Kingdom law, which governs the earth and all
material matter, natural and spiritual. We have come to the end of 2,000
years since Jesus’ birth into this earth. That is 2000 years worth of Gospel
that has been sown into this world, and now it is harvest time!
You and I are the ones who are called by God to reap that harvest!
Our commitment to you…
We want to see the dynamic provision of God excel in your life. Our
responsibility and commitment to you as our Partner in ministry is to pray
for you and set our faith in agreement with you. You will never be without
prayer again until Jesus comes. Our commitment is to support you and to
seek God and find out how He wants us to minister to you. It was this same
sense of responsibility and commitment that cause the Apostle Paul to
wrestled with the idea of packing up and going on to heaven or staying on
earth a while longer so he could meet the needs of his partners. We find
this reasoning behind his final decision in Philippians 1:21-25,
"For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live on in
the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I
cannot tell. For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to
depart and be with Christ, which is far better. Nevertheless to remain
in the flesh is more needful for you. And being confident of this, I know
that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy
of faith."
Blessings and Increase flowing into your life…
As you give of your monetary resources, you connect with this ministry
and automatically become involved in the Great Commission! (Matthew 28:18-20)
"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me
in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and,
lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
Luke 5:10 "And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which
were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from
henceforth thou shalt catch men." You automatically become fishers of
men when you become partners of this ministry through your prayers and
support in giving financially.
You are a part of every life that is touched and changed by this ministry and
every time… you reap that harvest! As you sow your seed-faith offering today,
expect God to supernaturally multiply His blessings in your life and finances
as a result of your desire to Reap the Harvest as His Word instructs in
Matthew 9:35-38, " And Jesus went about all the cities and villages,
teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and
healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when he saw
the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted,
and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto
his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few;
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers
into his"
As you give your offering today, we join our faith with yours and agree with
you to receive the abundant blessings of God as Jesus himself promised in
Luke 6:38, "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."
Our prayer of agreement with you regarding your giving:
"Father, In the name of Jesus, I am out of debt; my needs are met. I have plenty more to put in store. I walk in prosperity and in health, even as my soul prospers. It is the will of God for me to prosper.
As I give my offering today, I believe the Lord for
