Sat 5 May - Partnerships

Take a guess what is the most pressing question: how do you ask people for money?
Just as salvation is a very important entry step into the Kingdom, and working and helping establish the Kingdom is the journey, so are partnerships and approaching people to help you with .... what was that again?

When believers realise that everything they work and pay for, save, establish and gain, make and own as well as inherited, is God's provision foremost to extend His Kingdom (and in that their own needs are taken care of) then asking won't be an issue at all.  Jesus put it something like when you seek the Kingdom of God first, then all other things will be added to you

When believers realise that the Kingdom is much bigger than their local church and that God has a calling for each one in His global vision, then inviting people to take up their part of the Kingdom yoke would be eagerly met by mature believers who are interested in having a diverse cultural investment portfolio
When believers start to ask the right questions about the quality of the soil they are about to invest their God given seed in, and take responsibility themselves for their own investment, then multiple Kingdom projects should be bearing much mature spiritual fruit locally as well as abroad

The plan is the money to do the work, but what is the purpose of being sent and inviting people to be part of your journey?  Why do we want to/have to bother others with what we are doing?

For God so loved the world He wanted everything redeemed back to Himself, even South African Christianity
