The Power of Partnership, Week 1, Day 5 - The Gospel Truth

About this sermon

Andrew Wommack’s daily TV program: Gospel Truth To subscribe to Andrew’s email newsletter: http://www.awmi.net/youtube-subscribe/ This series is called The Power of Partnership. Partnership is a deliberate giving. Andrew is teaching on the many rewards you receive when partnering with a ministry that is reaching out with the nearly-too-good-to-be-true news. The reason 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. It’s important to understand the power that is available in partnership and then put that power to work for you. 00:07 Andrew continues on his series on The Power of Partnership. 00:26 The reason that God blesses us financially is so that we can be a blessing. (Genesis 12:2) “…and I will bless thee … and thou shalt be a blessing.” (Ephesians 4:28) “…that he may have to give to him that needeth.” (2 Corinthians 9:8) “And 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:” 01:13 We need to recognize that even though partnership blesses us back, the real motive for giving isn’t so you could just get, it’s so that you can be a blessing. 03:03 It is rare to find somebody who’s treasure isn’t in their assets, but rather they’re treasure being in God. This kind of person knows that God is their source, and if somebody steals from them, they’re detached from it. 04:32 Money has power in it. The power can be used for good, or bad. Money is not moral, or immoral. Money is just money. I can use money for a blessing or a curse. 06:52 Money does give you power and influence, and the sad thing is that most people are using this money on temporary things. 08:52 This is why the master in Luke 16:5-8 commended the man who stole from him. He was still using it in a wrong way, but he took the money that he was stealing from his master and used it to plan for his future. He realized how important people were to his future, that he began to influence people in a way that would effect his future. 09:38 (Luke 16:9) “And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.” This verse translates to, ‘use (mammon) money to touch people’s lives that when you (fail) die, there will be people lined up to say thank you for what you’ve done, as you enter into heaven. 10:52 The greatest use of money is to touch people with the gospel to change their lives. And, you will have people, in eternity, thanking you for touching their lives. 13:32 In Uganda, I met a lady named Esther. She walked 13 to 15 miles, one way, to come to one of our discipleship classes. She got turned onto the Lord, and she got healed, and then walked back. She started a church, and has seen hundreds of people born-again, and miracles. She wanted to read the Bible so bad, but couldn’t read or write. However, in a couple months time, she is able to read. This one lady is touching people that you and I will never meet. But you partners of our ministry, who give to help us reach people, will one day meet those people who Esther influenced, and they will thank you for what you’ve done. 16:03 I’m not saying that you don’t take care of your own, or not to have nice things. What I’m saying is that the priority should be on seeking first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and then other things come as by-products. (Matthew 6:33) They’re just blessings form God. They’re icing on the cake. 18:25 You can use money to change people’s lives. And, the money you use to spend on that will never pass away. It’s just going to enter into heaven. 19:46 It’s only what you give away, and invest in people through the Gospel, that you get to keep. Everything else you keep, you lose. Everything you give, with the right heart and the right attitude, it never leaves your life. It only enters into eternity. 21:35 God is not against us having stuff, as long as our priorities are straight. As long we put the emphasis on, seeking first the kingdom of God, then God has promised to give us all this other stuff. (Mark 6:33) You cannot out-give God. 23:27 Start of video showing Andrew Wommack Ministries in Kampala, Uganda. Medical equipment was shipped to two medical facilities there that could affect hundreds of thousands of lives. This was made possible by the partners of Andrew Wommack Ministries. 24:44 Partnership video continues & links to next video. ============================================ Andrew Wommack Ministries http://www.awmi.net/ https://www.facebook.com/AWMinistries https://twitter.com/andrewwommack https://instagram.com/andrewwommack/ https://www.pinterest.com/andrewwommack/ ======================================================
