MONEY IS A TOOL TO MAKE AN ETERNAL DIFFERENCE

2 Corinthians 9:8-11 (AMP)

“And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come in abundance to you, so that you may always have complete sufficiency in everything, and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity. As it is written: He scattered abroad, he gave to the poor; His righteousness endures forever! Now He who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your seed for sowing (your resources) and increase the harvest of your righteousness, which shows itself in active goodness, kindness, and love. You will be enriched in every way so that you may be generous, and this generosity, administered through us, produces thanksgiving to God from those who benefit. For the ministry of this service (offering) is not only supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing through many expressions of thanksgiving to God.”

Ephesians 3:20 – “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power at work within us.”

Pressing Into God’s Promises

Has God given you BIG promises? As you press into His presence, He reveals what’s coming—whether in your life, business, or ministry. I believe God is expanding our capacity to receive from Him. We must go beyond our natural abilities.

When our capacity to give is expanded, so is our capacity to receive.

Luke 6:38 – “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

Our capacity determines our blessing flow.

Beyond the Tithe

Many people only have faith for their personal needs. They are faithful in tithing, and perhaps occasionally give an offering. But the tithe is based on what you already have—it honors God and supports where you are spiritually fed.

The offering, however, is where we step into abundance. Offerings require faith and intentionality. They allow us to move beyond our personal needs to fund Kingdom purposes.

I’ve been challenged to set goals for my tithes and offerings. It takes the same faith to believe God for two as it does for one—so why not give one away for Kingdom purposes? We don’t just believe God for what we need; we believe Him for what He wants to accomplish in His Kingdom.

Support Your Church and Vision

When God releases a vision through your Pastor, it’s not only their responsibility to see it fulfilled—it is ours as well. We must carry the weight financially to see that vision become reality.

Some of you may be called to create Kingdom wealth through business, providing resources the church needs to complete its work. Others may be called to fund the vision directly. God’s strategy may be different for each of us.

Practical Principles for 2025

1. Expand your capacity to believe for BIG things.

2. Pray in the Holy Spirit to receive the mind of God. Ask Him for strategy and wisdom.

3. Develop Kingdom goals, not just personal goals. Include short-term, mid-term, and long-term objectives.

4. Be a fruit inspector. Evaluate your ministry or business. What is producing fruit? What is not? Remove what hinders growth.

5. Recognize scaffolding. Some people are temporary supports in your life or vision—they are important, but their season may end.

6. Determine your giving plan. If your goal is $100K, tithe 10% on that. But if God multiplies it to $200K, give everything over $100K back to Him for Kingdom purposes.

Align With God’s Strategy

For those aspiring to ministry: some of you may not preach, but you are called to fund the Kingdom work. The last-day move of God includes a marketplace strategy—channeling resources to expand the Kingdom.

Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in creating wealth and expanding capacity. God will equip you with the skills you need.

Exodus 31:3-5 – “And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts. He is a master craftsman, expert in gold, silver, bronze, engraving, gemstones, and wood.”

God will give you a more excellent way—a blueprint and strategy unlike anything you’ve done before. It’s time to step into new ways to fund Kingdom work, expand your capacity, and see God multiply your efforts.

Final Encouragement

Even if you are retired, God still has a plan for you. As Dr. Rodney Howard-Browne says, it’s time to get “refired” instead of retired. Be willing to start new ventures, step into Kingdom assignments, and expand what God has placed in your hands.

God wants to multiply your work, bless your giving, and use it to accomplish His Kingdom purposes.
