Beyond their power

Another Faith Promise year is ahead of us, and again this month we will be taking your pledges for another year. Now before we do, it’s vital that we pray and seek God by faith before we give. The worst thing that we can do is to pledge and not give, so seek the will of God and then by faith trust Him. Our slogan this year is “Abounding Unto His Riches,” (2 Cor. 8:2). In this chapter, the Apostle Paul praised the Macedonian Church for their abundance of giving even when in “great trial of affliction, and deep poverty.” In other words, they gave even when it looked impossible, for they gave “beyond their power.” Be careful not to underestimate the power of our great God, for if we by faith trust in His promises, He because of our faith will cause us to “abound unto His riches.”
