Revo - 10 Benchmarks part 1
-
As we journey together towards the miracle that God is going to provide through us. The most important decision that you or your family can make is acting on what God has asked you to do in your Revolutionize giving commitment.
As you know, I have asked that each of us, starting with my own family, give the most significant financial gift over the next 120 days that you can to the work of God. Remember, your Revolutionize commitment is a 120 day giving commitment over and above your regular tithes and missions giving.
Here are 10 benchmarks that you can use to navigate your giving journey in helping to equip and tool ministries at The City Church.
1. Revelation rather than reason be your guide.
People that give by reason do the following: They look at what they have, figure out what is “reasonable” and commit that amount. It takes no faith to give by reason. Reason simply asks, “What can I afford?”
On the other hand, people that give by revelation do this: They start the process by going directly to the Lord and praying, “Lord, what do you want to give through me?” This kind of giving requires faith. Hebrews 11:6 says, “Without faith, it is impossible to please God.” Then once you have settled on the amount God puts in your heart, ask Him to guide you in the steps you should take in being able to fulfill that offering.
If you give only out of reason then it requires no faith to give. However, if you give out of revelation then you please God and not the other way around.
Love God - Love Others - Serve All
