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.
