SPEAKER 02 :
Welcome to Victorious Faith. I’m Cherri Campbell. Today we are going to continue our study in the lesson, Kingdom of God Partnership. So join me now for the continuation of this lesson, Kingdom of God Partnership. you share in their grace, that is from God. The way God supplies their needs, as we’re going to look at in a moment, the same way God supplies their needs, the grace for that will be on you to supply your needs. The anointing that is on that ministry can be on you. The level of faith that’s in that ministry, you can believe God that you will grow to that level of faith. The revelation that that ministry is operating in, you can claim to receive that level of revelation for you. The extent of reach that ministry is reaching to, you can claim that grace for yourself. Not that you can demand from that ministry in the natural, give to me out of your own resources. No, you receive the grace and the grace comes from God. So the supply and provision comes from God. The revelation comes from God. The anointing comes from God. The faith even comes from God’s word. So by partnering with a church and a ministry by faith, you can share. Remember what we already talked about in Romans chapter five, verse two, we rejoice in the hope, the expectation of the glory of God, the expectation of God’s manifested presence, power, provision, wealth, and glory. So remember, Your provision comes from God and you can expect it. We rejoice in the expectation. Romans five, two, when you access by faith, the grace. So by faith, you access the grace. You can access the grace that is on the ministry by faith. And then you can rejoice in the expectation of God’s manifested presence, power, provision, supply, glory coming available to you. Glory to God. Hallelujah. So that is one of the rewards of partnership. by partnering with a church or ministry, then by faith you can share in the grace, the gifts, the empowerment, the provision, and the anointing that is on that ministry. And you have a right to claim by faith your share of their grace. Now, what is your share? It’s in proportion to what you sow. It’s in proportion to your seed and your faith and your faith to the level of your faith and your level of obedience. So, you know, Jesus said in Mark chapter four, that seed that is sown on good ground will multiply 30, 60 and a hundred fold. Well, how, what determines whether it’s 30, 60 or a hundred fold, right? The ground, the seed, the watering and cultivating of the seed, which is the faith in believing to receive the harvest. But it’s also in the obedience to sow and give when and where God says give. the faith that you have to believe for that harvest and how much that seed is worth to you. As we said, it’s value to God is its value to you. Like the widow woman who gave two mites, Jesus said, gave everything. So her reward will be based on giving everything. Whereas those who gave out of their wealth are, and they gave, yeah, they may have given a large sum, but if out of their wealth, it was a small proportion or percentage, then their reward will be smaller. So you can say according to the proportion, according to the percentage of what you give. So it is what it means to you. It’s value to you is it’s value to God and your obedience and your faith and That is what determines how much of a share you receive, how much reward you receive, how much harvest you receive. Hallelujah. But you can and should expect reward. Rejoice in the expectation of the glory, the manifestation of God’s supply, his provision, his anointing, his gifts, his empowerment coming on you and into your life. When you sow seed into a ministry as God directs, according to your faith, according to your obedience and according to how valuable that seed is to you. Praise the Lord. Glory to God. Now, one more passage here in Philippians. We looked at it once and I said we were coming back to it. Philippians chapter four verses 15 through 19 say, moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, Philippi was in Macedonia. Not one church shared, or you could say partnered with me in the matter of giving and receiving. It’s not just giving. So you see, there’s a lot of Christians who will say, well, I’m a good giver, but I just don’t, I don’t receive very well. Well, then you’re not obeying the Bible. Yeah, that might be a shock. And that’s why I said it. the one who gives is supposed to be involved also in the receiving. And of course, duh, according to how much you receive is going to affect how much more you can give. So if you don’t receive much, you’re not able to give much. Duh, that’s obvious. So you need to be expecting to receive more so that you can go to the next level of giving more. And so it’s ignorance and pride for people to say, well, I can give, but I just don’t expect to receive anything. Well, that’s foolish. It’s ignorant and it limits you and it keeps you from being able to grow in your faith, in your giving and give more and more and more. If you don’t grow in your receiving. So the ministry is both giving and receiving, right? And you haven’t done the whole ministry if you only give and not receive. And so Paul is saying that he said, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, not just giving. So you need to be a sharer in the grace that is on a church or ministry to also be a receiver, right? in their grace. Like I said, you cannot make a demand in the natural on their finances. You make a requirement and a draw of your faith on God’s grace, God’s grace that is on that church or ministry to supply their needs. You can expect that grace to come on you to supply your needs. And that’s exactly what Paul means because as we go on reading, that’s exactly what Paul says. So let’s read it again. When I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you only. For when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid again and again. So supplying the need of the minister as well as the ministry, because the minister who gives their full time to the work of the ministry should also be sustained in their needs. physically, financially, materially, but also the ministry needs to be sustained in its needs to operate the ministry to do its work. So he said, for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid again and And again, so they continued partnership. It was not a one-time partnership. It was an ongoing continuing partnership. Why? Because Paul had sown into them the word, the revelation of the word, the teaching that brought them into the kingdom and helped them to grow in the kingdom and help them get established in the kingdom of God revelation. And so they sewed back into Paul’s life and ministry again and again. He said, you sent me aid again and again when I was in need. Not that I am looking for a gift. You can say looking right now. I’m not looking right now for a gift, but I am looking for what may be credited to your account. What may be credited to your account, right? We’ll come back to that in just a minute. Let me finish this verse 18. I have received full payment and even more. I am amply supplied. Why? Because of God’s grace. And he also says, now that I’ve received from Epaphroditus, the gifts you sent because of your support, your supply, your partnership, my needs are amply supplied and the needs of this ministry because of God’s grace and your gifts. Now that I have received from Epaphroditus, the gifts you sent, they are a fragrant offering. So your offering, your seed sown is a fragrant offering to God. Do you remember in the book of Acts when God told Peter to go to Cornelius’ house? And he said it was because Cornelius’ offerings had come up as a memorial before God. And Cornelius was a Gentile, a Roman, not a Jew. And because of his offerings… It qualified him to be the first Gentile to receive the gospel and be saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit and speak with tongues. Cornelius household was the first Gentile family to receive the gospel and be born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. Go read it in Acts chapter 10. that they were even baptized in the spirit and speaking in tongues. Why? Because Cornelius’s offerings had come up as a memorial before God. So you can even sow your seed in faith to God, believing and claiming for your household to be saved for the salvation of your house, for your children and your grandchildren. you can sow seed into the kingdom of God for the salvation of your household because God looked upon Cornelius’ seed, his offerings, and said they came up as a memorial before God. And because of that, God sent… Peter, the primary apostle of the early church, when it first was born, before Paul became part of that ministry, Peter was sent to Cornelius house to preach the gospel to them. And you can claim that God will send laborers to your family, to your loved ones. When you sow seed and say, Lord, I want this to be an offering before you. And I ask you to send laborers to my loved ones and then name them specifically to John, to Mary, to Elizabeth, name them and say, God, I ask you to send laborers to them, to bring them into the kingdom and to bring them into the fullness that you’ve called them to in Christ, in their part, in the body of Christ. And so you can sow your seed for that. And no, I’m not talking about buying salvation. Absolutely not. You cannot buy salvation. Jesus paid the price for salvation for everybody. What you just heard was the continuation of a lesson that I taught called Kingdom of God Partnership. And we will continue this message again tomorrow. So join me again tomorrow. And remember, God loves you. You are blessed and highly favored by the Lord.
