ìBut my God shall supply all your need according to his riches
in glory by Christ Jesus.î Philippians 4:19
But notice that the scripture says need, not want or lust!This is not the same as the gospel hucksters proclaim over the airwaves. It is
the responsibility of every Christian to be as sure as possible that the funds are
being used to support the preaching of the true Gospel, not a watered down
ecumenical so-called gospel, or a lavish lifestyle of religious opulence.
The spirit of giving expressed in the Bible is generous, and a complete
acknowledgement that everything a Christian owns belongs to the Lord, and is to
be used as He sees fit.
ìFor if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to
that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. For I
mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: But by an
equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply
for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for
your want: that there may be equality: As it is written, He that
had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered
little had no lack.î 2 Corinthians 8:12-15
ìNeither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as
were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the
prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the
apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man
according as he had need.î Acts 4:34-35
Walking in true faith is walking in the Spirit of God. Exercising the faith to
support the true Gospel is very pleasing to God and helps a Christian mature in
their walk with Christ.
