We have been looking at
ENGAGING BIBLICAL MENTALITY IN STEWARDSHIP.
Thinking what the Bible says about stewardship so we can maximize the benefits thereof.
This morning we will be looking at
ENGAGING BIBLICAL MENTALITY IN STEWARDSHIP
With focus on we must possess a partnership mentality. Everyone on the go for Christ on the altar of prayer, everyone craving for the Salvation of the lost is in partnership with Christ in that endeavour. You are not wiling away time. You’re partners in Christ in the pursuit of your Father’s business.
Jesus said “Don’t you know I must be about father’s business?
Luke 2:49
The Father’s sole interest on the earth is to see souls saved and established in the faith.
Matthew 1:21
His core mission on the earth is to see souls saved.
1st John 3:8
So when you are involved, you are in partnership with Christ.
Matthew 28:18-20
“I guarantee you my partnership, I guarantee you my companionship”.
Luke 10:1
God went with his disciples. He was walking with them, confirming His Words with signs and wonders. So being on the go for Jesus establishes our partnership with Christ and that gives us the opportunity of His companionship. He goes with us and if He goes with us the Word says who can be against us? So everyone on the go for Christ is ordained for triumphant living. If God be for you who can be against you?
The consciousness and mentality of partnership with Christ or being in partnership with Christ reenforces our confidence while on the go. I’m not alone, Jesus is right here with me. Jesus sent me to you and is here to bless you. It arouses our confidence and you know what that means, they spoke boldly in the Lord. They were too sure of His presence.
Our boldness and confidence in Christ stirs signs and wonders as we get on the go. Now let’s quickly look at the privileges of partnership.
What are these privileges of this partnership?
When Israel came out of Egypt God was in the midst of them. The sea saw them and fled.
Psalms 114:1-7
Everything that troubles others trembles at your presence because of the God that is with you.
His presence causes what troubles others to tremble. That is supernatural triumph. Triumph without lifting a finger.
Partnership with Christ is walking with Jesus with due wisdom and power of God.
Proverbs 13:20
So partnership with God stirs supernatural wisdom. Everyone actively engaged in advancing the Kingdom of God taps into the wisdom of mighty works, not wisdom of heavy grammar. Those are the things that accompany those that are actively engaged in this partnership. Supernatural wisdom. Out of this world kind of wisdom not oh they say we should go, you just keep going. You should know why you do what you do. We have to know what it is.
Active partnership with Jesus induced with supernatural wisdom, out if this world order of wisdom. Wisdom that stirs exploits. The wisdom of strange manifestations.
The wisdom that settles you for family life, that settles you for children, that settles your career, settles you in your business. Not wisdom of trying to compete with somebody else. The wisdom that comes from God. Amen.
It’s the natural privilege of everyone that is actively in partnership with Jesus. There are few people who can read my writing because my hands are not fast enough. Partnership with Jesus makes you wise as an angel of God. Amen.
Somebody’s story is changing.
So we are not just doing it for doing it sake, there are privileges that can’t get anywhere else. Now think of it, Paul the Apostle, a die hard soul winner became God’s think tank in the new testament.
“Woe is me if I preach not the gospel. I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ”. That was his motto. “By the help of God I continue to this day witnessing to both great and small”. That was his testimony.
2nd Peter 3:15
Paul wrote in
Ephesians 3:1-5
Very interesting. To tell us the nature of wisdom of Paul.
Go down to verse 8 and see the level of wisdom we’re talking about. Amen. Glory to God. That’s what belongs to you and I while we’re engaged with God’s agenda on the earth.
Partnership with Christ preserves protects and covers.
Mark 3:14
Now not one was reported sick. Not one. Not even Thomas. They were under that covering of partnership. They were not waylayed once on their journey. They were under the heavy covering of that partnership. He chose 12 that they might be with Him and send them forth. They were in partnership. They were protected, they were preserved, they were covered.
So look at those three points and you’ll see how much people lose by being docile in Church, by being a bench warmer in Church. There is nothing enjoyable in doing nothing.
Let me conclude with this charge. If every member of this Church is generally committed to bringing a soul to Christ, do you know this Sunday we don’t need to double the attendance. It will happen naturally.
If 50 percent of members in this Church share the same passion with me and decide to bring one soul to Church this coming Sunday. We need only two Sundays to be double. If 10 percent should engage and bring a soul each in four Sundays we are double.
That tells you a little percentage of people care actively engaging. So make your choice.
God is counting.
I dived into it. I was very active. There are many people in this Church who are flowing in favour while others are flowing in all kinds of experiences.
Somebody lost his job, they were engaging actively, somebody has a job, he doesn’t even pray. Not one day has he prayed. Just Papa pray for us. Papa’s prayer is not equal to partnership. There is no prophet on this earth who can pray you to read Scriptures. The things you get by putting the Word to work not one can pray it over your life. So wake up. You have this awesome privilege to live a sickness free life, a pain free life, a regret free life of only you will engage in active partnership with Christ. I hope somebody has woken up.
Between now and the 18th of April you can make your choice. It is an open choice. Praise God.
Many are called but few are chosen. “Choose ye this day whom you shall serve”. Few make their choice to align.
Let me conclude by saying what you have always known. God does not reward membership, He rewards stewardship. “Everyone shall be rewarded according to his own labour”. God does not reward leadership. “I’m a founder”. That’s okay. There are many confirming founding father’s all over the world. He rewards stewardship.
God does not honour long time membership. “I’ve been in this Church for the past thirty years”. Congratulations. He honours dedicated stewardship.
You shall be honoured this year as you make your choice to be in active partnership with Jesus. God does not pay anointed believers, He pays only reapers. There are people who are just engaged, you could see their work, but there is no reward on their life.
You shall be rewarded in the name of Jesus
John 15:1-2
You are the one God is talking about. Praise God.
God does not pay membership, He pays stewardship. “He that reapeth receiveth wages as he gathers fruits unto life eternal”.
I want to believe that somebodys Spirit man is stired up to know that it is not God using you. It is God raising you.
You are changing levels.
Now what I say to one I say to all. “Get on the go for Me. I guarantee you My companionship. I’m standing there with you.
-Now between now and Easter Sunday something will open loose in your life.
There is a way you can do some things today, tomorrow, particularly as we get into this holiday time that will turn things around like a dream of the night. There is another way you can go ahead and sleep all out and said “I’m not Papa”. That’s not my problem. You think Papa has problem?
Partnering with Jesus changes people’s story from one level to another.
Lift up your two hands and speak to the month. Month open up. Open up to me in a new way. Thank You for what You have shown to me this morning, help me to engage. I want to experience the privileges of partnership like never before.
- It shall be a month of testimonies for you and your household.
- No mishap, no misfortune.
SPEAK TO THE MONTH
You have laid the foundation of praise, you are entitled to testimonies. Speak to the month. Grace to engage. Thank You Father in Jesus precious name we have prayed.
Well the fliers are all out across the various areas and centers. Please take advantage of them. Special Easter service,a time where Jesus opens graves and brings captives out of obscurity and out into the limelight. It shall be so for you and everyone that comes with you.
Our fliers and tracts are all over. Please take and engage. God is not complaining. Jesus will convict them.
-This month is declared your month.
- It is your month of change of level
- It is your month of change of story.
- If there is any concern that came along with you from March it clears off finally today.
- This month of resurrection will be your month of restoration.
- Whatever may have been lost will be gallantly restored and the name of the Lord shall be glorified.
Happy New Month to everyone in the name of Jesus Christ.
Give the Lord the biggest clap offering. Lift up those hands and give Him thanks. It’s your month.
