Ten Financial keys to use when Money hits your hands
The partnership letter for November 2016
Dear Partner, I have great news for you, but before I share the news with you, let me commend you for your Commitment, Faithfulness and Consistency in sowing your finances to Rhema Family Church.
This is an act of great faith and you have done it. You have sown your tithes, towards projects, priestly offerings, building funds etc. and the Lord has acknowledged you’re giving promptly, by a cheerful spirit. According to the Word of God we are to sow 10% of all our increase and that is God making sure, that now that you have given, in every area, you are a prime candidate for the blessings of God.
You have not only sown your substance, tithes and offerings, increase in any other area, in your life, gifts, insurance claims, matured investments, profits made when selling property, homes, and cars, that is all necessary as the Word teaches that you are to render 10% of all your increase back to the Lord. In the same way God is preparing to bless you in the same measure you were obedient and rendered to God what belonged to God, and of course the blessings follow you and no one can stop it.
This month I would like to speak on the following subject: Ten Financial keys to use when Money hits your hands
“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.”
The Meaning of Grace
- Grace is God’s unmerited favor.
- It is kindness from God that we don’t deserve.
- There is nothing that we have done, nor ever can do to earn His favor.
- It is a gift from God.
- Grace is divine assistance, given to Human beings for their regeneration (Re Birth) or sanctification.
- A virtue coming from God.
- A state of sanctification enjoyed through Divine favor.
A. Jesus endured our poverty that we might share His abundance.
“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
“Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.”
“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.”
“And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.”
1. Jesus took the curse of poverty that we might receive the blessing of Abraham.
“And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.”
B. There are 3 Basic Principles that govern the operation of God’s Grace.
1. Firstly, God’s Grace can never be earned.
- Anything that can be earned is not God’s Grace.
2. Second, there is only one channel of Grace.
“For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.”
- Grace only comes to us through Jesus Christ.
3. Third, there is only one means by which we can appropriate God’s Grace.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
N.B The Principles applies just as much in the realm of financial and material provision, as it does in any other area of our lives.
- God is a God of Abundance.
- He gives us enough and more.
- It is Grace that operates in the realm of money.
- The exchange: Poverty for Abundance.
C. God gives you Good Success and Honor
“This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.”
The Meaning of Honor
- To give weight to someone.
- To honor someone is to give weight or grant a person a position of respect and even authority in someone’s life.
(Read – 2 Chronicles 20:20 and 1 Samuel 2:30)
“In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success”
“And not because we think we can do anything of lasting value by ourselves. Our only power and success comes from God.”
John 12:23 NIV “Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.”
“Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.”
(Read – Psalm 91:14-15)

- Therefore I believe, in the Name of Jesus, that every need is met according to Philippians 4:19.
- I believe that because I have given tithes and offerings to further your cause, Father, gifts will be given to me, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will they pour into my bosom.

- Satan, I bind you from my finances, according to Matthew 18:18, and loose you from your assignment against me, in the Name of Jesus.
- Father, I thank you that your ministering spirits (angels) are free to minister for me and bring in the necessary finances. Father,
- I confess you are a very present help in trouble, and you are more than enough. I confess, God, that you are able to make all grace - every favor and earthly blessing - come to me in abundance, so that I am always, and in all circumstances, furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation.
We Love You very Much, Dr. Roshan and Pastor Zubeda Sing.
