Missionaries are men, women, and children who have obeyed God's specific and clear call on their lives to go and reach the lost with Gospel of Christ.
They often leave behind family, friends, and comforts. We should not view them as "those poor missionaries". We should hold them In high esteem. It is biblical that we support them and view them as champions of the Gospel!
In This Episode We Look At:
- The Lost are reached, Eternity is impacted
"We were made for only one person and one place. Jesus is the person and heaven is the place."- Randy Alcorn
I find that of all of God's promises related to our finances, the majority are related to giving in support of the gospel.
- "Fruit" is added to your account
Phil 4:17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
- We experience God's greatness is supplying our need even as we give
Phil 4:19, taken in proper context; But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Paul writes this to a church that, despite their poverty, is faithfully giving in support of "missionaries". This church at Philippi had a rich history of sacrificial giving.
- God's Word promises resources for continued giving
2 Cor. 9:10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness…
Paul references Isaiah 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, And the snow from heaven, And returneth not thither, But watereth the earth, And maketh it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
