THE POWER OF FAITH PROMISE


ACTS 1:8


 


 1.          First, I am speaking to righteous people – Saved God loving


2.          Then do you realize that giving and missions is a big thing with God


             Matthew 21:43 You need to get this.


 3.          Then can a person really give sacrificially? I can only give my life, I can’t give    


               substance!!


 4.         Then as a Christian you want God’s blessing Amen!


            So you and I must get in and stay in an attitude that will not hinder God from blessing! ‘


            Not my will God but yours!


 5.      God’s Provision – Mal. 3:7-11 – This is the most encouraging chapter on giving in  


           God’s Word to me.


 6.      Faith Promise will bring Revival


         My prayers this week is that you would get a love for God’s work – genuine revival.


        A new love for God.


        Would you this week say, “God, let me see this world as you see it.”


God would want you and I to know that He has supplied some one (you) to meet others needs.


 Listen to me: I saw a small village get saved down in Mexico. I saw teen age boy with a New Testament in his hand, walking up a hill – thrilled! Mr. Missionary, “Who will come back to these people and follow up – NOBODY – God’s watching!


 “How many am I responsible? Preacher. Whole World – No just a little Mexican boy!


II Cor. 9:6-8      Matthew 6:33


 God is saying:


“Take care of my business and I will take care of you.”


 This verse helped me:


Things that blessed my life


1. John R. Rice = Prayer, Asking, Receiving.


2. Jack Hyles = Let’s go Soul Winning


3. Giving


 Tithing is a debt I owe, giving is a seed I sow.


 “God is dead” theology came along when I first got saved – This is a Bible believing,


fundamental Baptist Church isn’t it? = We object to that don’t we?


But do we really practice that there is a live God? He’s alive – Amen!


 


I read what God did for:


Spurgeon – I thank God for that


Hudson Taylor – I thank God for that


Charles Finney – I thank God for that


D. L. Moody – I thank God for that


 I thank God that He used them in their generation, but wait – we need God to use us in our


generation.


 You know the story of the Widows Mite – Rich Folks


She gave a couple of meager cents and Christ liked it!


 


 Church was taking commitments for a new ??


- One stood and said, “I’ll give 5000.00”


- Another stood and said, “I’ll give 3000.00”


- Old Mister rich stood and said, “I’ll give the widows mite”


- Little lady in the back jumped up and shouted, “Praise God” she gave it all, we can build the building and for cash.


 I believe during this conference you need to be:


 1. Sensitive to God


2. You need to ask God to use you in a special way


 How many new – new converts – never been involved in Faith Promise – How many have?


 O. J. Smith – started with 3.00 – 90% In 23 years.  I’ve increased mine every year.
