There are many rewards you receive when partnering with a ministry that is reaching out with the nearly-too-good-to-be-true news. At the Giftens Church, we preach the undiluted Gospel of Christ – His very message of Grace. This is clearly stated in our vision, which is to preach Christ Jesus and to birth in people around the world the knowledge of His love, and demonstrating the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Partnership is essential. It is an underlying secret of success in kingdom missions, and it fosters the adequate implementation of the vision delivered to a prophet or priest by God. Every vision needs partners – or what we can call helpers – if it is to be wholly accomplished. This is why we value and pray for our partners every day. We learn from the example of King David who set a precedent that gave the people who guarded the spoils an equal share (blessing) with those who actually did the fighting.

That notable verse – Philippians 4:19, which says, “But my God shall supply all of your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus,” was a letter written to people who were partnering with Paul in the Gospel and gave to his ministry on a regular basis. Paul confirmed that in 1 Corinthians 16:2, where he wrote, “On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside.”

The partners Paul was talking about were systematic, deliberate givers. One of the major reasons God prospers you is so that you can establish His kingdom here on the earth, and if you seek to build that kingdom, then He will provide a supernatural divine flow that will meet all your needs. I can promise you that when you pray and ask God for direction in your giving and then respond to that, He will take care of your financial needs better accidentally than you’ve ever been able to do on purpose. These are all powerful truths, so I encourage you to benefit from this aspect of partnership.
