I want to thank those who gave to Servias Ministries in 2019. Your cheerful giving is credited to your account in Heaven and FATHER will bless you because of it. Paul affirms this when he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4. Let these words express my gratitude to you on behalf of Servias:
10 My heart overflows with joy when I think of how you showed your love to me by your financial support of my ministry. For even though you have so little, you still continue to help me at every opportunity. 11 I’m not telling you this because I’m in need, for I have learned to be satisfied in any circumstance. 12–13 I know what it means to lack, and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty.
14 You’ve so graciously provided for my essential needs during this season of difficulty. 15 For I want you to know that the Philippian church was the only church that supported me in the beginning as I went out to preach the gospel. You were the only church that sowed into me financially, 16 and when I was in Thessalonica, you supported me for well over a year.
17 I mention this not because I’m requesting a gift, but so that the fruit of your generosity may bring you an abundant reward. 18 I now have all I need—more than enough—I’m abundantly satisfied! For I’ve received the gift you sent by Epaphroditus and viewed it as a sweet sacrifice, perfumed with the fragrance of your faithfulness, which is so pleasing to God!
19 I am convinced that my God will fully satisfy every need you have, for I have seen the abundant riches of glory revealed to me through the Anointed One, Jesus Christ! 20 And God our Father will receive all the glory and the honor throughout the eternity of eternities! Amen!
FATHER has a reward system in Heaven and those who understand this system will reap its abundance. A reward system is conditional for if you give, you are rewarded. Your giving is not conditional on whether your gift is “optimized” by the recipient but it is based on the condition of your heart when you give. The deployment of your gift by the recipient is between him or her and FATHER.
Giving sets you up to receive from FATHER out of HIS abundance and you should expect to receive. Paul understood this when he mentioned your abundant reward. I seek only to write Truths which will help you reroute your path to stay fully on Jesus’ path known as The Way. Some of these Truths are offensive in that they confront doctrines and beliefs which promote self interest versus unconditional Love.
What is the purpose of receiving a reward from Heaven? It is to further our purpose on earth given to us before we were formed in the womb. If you are reluctant to be a cheerful giver, you hinder your purpose. Don’t let fear paralyze you but simply trust FATHER’S Word.
When you read these blogs, you become accountable and responsible for any revelation contained therein. This is why I believe The Holy Spirit keeps them rather short and to the point. There is no need to overwhelm the reader with an extensive research paper containing a multitude of points. Take the point of each writing and discern what FATHER wants you to receive today.
My wife and I have reaped the benefits of FATHER’S reward system for decades and I want you to enjoy the fruitfulness of cheerful giving as well. Jesus Himself said, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” He means it!
