Financing the Ministry Pt 1
Good management is key to maintaining financial flow in Ministry. You don't grow big to manage well - you manage well to grow big. (David Oyedepo) Lk 19:17-19. The management of resources must begin from where we are. In the scriptures according to Luke Jesus the great manager said11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches ?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? ( Lk 16:11-12) Faitfulness is one of the vital key to financial abundance in ministry. Also in Prov 24- 3-5,
3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
Wisdom demands that believers walk in sound financial integrity. It hurts when some Christian refuse to take responsibility. They attribute their failure to the devil. Whereas the devil was not there. May be he was in pakistan as at that time etc, Why? because he is not ominipresent. Only God is. So the devil cannot be in two places at the same time. It is high time believers come to their right senses
on this matter. The prodigal son rediscover who he was and re-programed himself. Friend, you need to do that now. Praying without planning is an exercise in futility. (1 Tim 6:6)
In conclusion, don't compare yourself with others. Operate at your level part time - not trying to be someone else.
see you shortly
