I want to set out to answer that question for you today: One of the most frustrating thoughts that I deal with as a pastor is, "Where is the money going to come from."
- Lord you called me to this city for the purpose of revival.
- You have commissioned the church to go out into the highways and byways to compel people to come.
- This gospel of the kingdom must be preached in all nations for Your Name sake.
- Lord you said that we need pastors, teachers, prophets, evangelists, and apostles.
- We need them for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, and for the edifying of the body.
- We need land, buildings, and ministers to house this revival.
How are we going to accomplish Your will without the finances that we need? I believe that God is upset that we even have to bother ourselves with that question. Nevertheless, the question still exists: How can we have revival without the proper funds?

ReplyDeleteElder,
The answer for me is tied into how much we love Jesus. When we say we love we will do everything possible for the one we love. The phonecalls, sweets, dates, etc. all carry a dollar figure. As I considered your dilberation the book of Haggai 1:1-11 came to mind. We are busy looking about our business not realising that how we deal with God's business has a direct impact on our health, wealth and the revival we so desperately need. We certainly to repent of many things.
