My Faith is something I am Doing
The partnership letter for November 2017
Dear Partner, I am so glad to have the opportunity to write to you. I want to first of all, take this opportunity to thank you and your family for being so diligent and prompt in your giving unto the Lord’s work. You have sown your Tithes and Offerings, Pledges, Building funds, Priestly offerings etc. and now that you have sown seed on the ground, it has no alternative but to break forth and yield a total Blessing in your life. This Blessing comes in many forms, but more than that, it can come into your hands in a way different to what you have anticipated.
Firstly, thank you for being obedient to the Lord and secondly for being committed whole heartedly to the local vision of our church, Rhema Family Church, Durban. This is your spiritual home and as you sow, demand your breakthroughs and the things the devil is trying to keep away from you. You certainly have our agreement in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
This month I would like to share with you on the subject of: My Faith is something I am Doing
1. Secret No. 1: It is always something that you do that bring Miracles into your life:
Let us look at the following text in the Bible as recorded in the book of Matthews Gospel – Matthew 7:7-11 NKJV “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”
Notice that Jesus is talking about things. Jesus went onto say in the next verse. Matthew 7:12 “Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” This verse is always called the golden rule. Now here is the first in the golden rule Jesus says, “Whatsoever you want done to you, you do it, and you do it first. This is the most dependable law in the Universe”
2. Secret No. 2: You must put something in, if you want to get something out:
Now if you want to experience success, big success, you have to desire it for others too. When you want peace with God, forgiveness of sins, etc. We must also put something in. Well, what is that something we put in? We put our hearts into it.
3. Secret No. 3: You must be involved in the Service of God:
This is an important Secret. When you are not involved in God’s Business, he may be reluctant to get involved in your business. You must get involved in your local Church. Go to your Pastor or one of the leaders and enquire as to where or how you can get involved in church work. When you are involved, God’s Anointing will grow in your life.
4. Secret No. 4: Stop trying to get and begin Giving:
You must begin to give. Well, you may ask, what do you mean?
• Well begin to give your service.
• Begin to give off your Talent.
• Begin to give off your Time.
And then finally, begin to give of your material wealth. Sometimes when you fail to release your finances into the Kingdom of God, doors begin to close and you may think that this is normal. Now these four secrets are important. As you put it to work in your life, you will see and experience the results.
In order to express your Faith, begin to do something. Put your Faith to work. Put action to what you feel in your heart. As you begin to become Functional in God’s Work, the Joy of the Lord will flood your soul and your heart. Begin to partner with God. Become His earthly Partner. The Ministry needs your resources and talents. Begin to activate your Faith. So remember the Title of this message, “My Faith is something I am doing”
May God continue to richly bless you and your family. As your Pastor and Spiritual Mentor, I pray for you daily and take pleasure in watching you grow into the Fullness of God. We love you very much and are constantly praying for your Progress, Success and Promotion.
Dr. Roshan and Pastor Zubeda Sing.
