God promised, now will you ?

November is again upon us, and I do believe that God is again asking us to continue giving toward Faith Promise. Some of you might be asking yourself whether or not you can give to Faith Promise this next year, while others of you are contemplating what to give. If you would just glance at the missions board, I do believe that the Holy Spirit would again remind you of the great need of world missions and our continued commitment. So don’t let the flesh win, but rather increase your giving or at least stay the same. Our God is still faithful even when our funds are down. “For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.” Don’t let the fear of the unknown dictate your faith. God can supply even during a famine. “Every man according as he hath purposeth in his heart, so let him give…For God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” I wonder how many of us have already been convinced by our fear that we can’t give, when we know full well that God tells us we can. “Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food.” God promised, now will you ?
