GENERATING FUNDS FOR THE WORK

By: Rev. Olusola Areogun

 (A)                                                    FACTS

1. Without funds good visions become nightmares of frustration.
2. The funding affects the expression and extent of vision.
3. The way you raise funds for the work will affect the integrity of your work.
4. There is a difference between a church based work and itinerant based work in funding. Don’t mix it.
5. The anointing of increase and multiplication is in the call and hands of a set man.
6. Ministers that are afraid of teaching on finances fall into the trap of mammon and release a spirit of poverty on their people!

(B)                                       PRINCIPLES

PRINCIPLE ONE

    RECOGNIZE THE THREE MAJOR PURPOSES FOR WHICH GOD GIVES FUNDS;

-      TO FINANCE YOUR ASSIGNMENT ON  THE EARTH

-      TO FUND YOUR NATURAL OBLIGATIONS

-      TO FINANCE YOUR PERSONAL ENJOYMENT

PRINCIPLE TWO

      I Corinthians 9:11

YOUR SPIRITUAL EFFECTIVENESS DETERMINES YOUR MATERIAL ABUNDANCE.

-      DON’T turn it upside down. What God gives a man of God is SPIRITUAL THINGS to sow. He gives the people carnal things to sow.

-      Both minister    and the people are sowers and reapers.

People: Seed = their carnal things

                          Harvest = the spiritual things of the man of God

The minister: Seed = the spiritual things

                          Harvest = the carnal things of the people.

            

            IT IS A CYCLES OF BLESSING PERPETUALLY

              Watch where they break the cycle, there is suffering. A church not taking good care of their shepherd with carnal things lack the spiritual things to shield them from Satan or give them super advantages in life.

A minister that is not ministering supernatural things will lack the carnal things of the people.

PRINCIPLE THREE

John 6:5-6

NOT EVERY NEED IN THE WORK WILL REQUIRE MONEY TO SOLVE.

You must be sensitive to know the difference and respect the difference.

Examples

Moses – Exodus 36: 1-7

John 6: 5-6
