God is Faithful – and all who Follow Jesus will also be Faithful
“God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:9
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13

How is it increased?
Are you praying for the LORD to grant you more spiritual authority/fruit to win the lost, cast out devils, help people grow in their walk with the LORD (discipleship), etc.? If so, you seek a noble and good thing from the LORD. Do you truly want to know what He says concerning being trusted by Him with more kingdom authority to serve Him more fruitfully? Jesus taught:
“If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?” Luke 16:11
Jesus is teaching us here that If one is not “faithful” in the worship of giving the “firstfruits” of the increase the LORD has allowed to come into his hands, the LORD will not grant him greater spiritual authority or responsibility. Here is the Biblical priniciple/prescription for receiving authority in God’s kingdom: When our obedience in personal worship is fulfilled, we are granted authority in God’s kingdom, but never before (2 Cor. 10:6).
“And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” 2 Corinthians 10:6
It is delusional to think one has any spiritual maturity or authority if he is not participating in the worship of faithfully placing his treasure (money) into the LORD’s Gospel. According to Jesus Christ, one’s own heart is NOT in the LORD if he doesn’t worshipfully give his treasures into the Gospel:
“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:19-21
Can God say that we are people who can be trusted – by God and others?
Beloved, we must immediately stop the madness of funding ministries and churches that are not fulfilling a New Testament purpose! The financial flow in the modern industry of church business is to fund frivolous entertainment that is not fulfilling the Great Commission our LORD gave us to teach ALL things HE commanded (Matthew 28:18-20). His eternal kingdom is not being advanced in the hearts of men and in the earth through church services that are designed to entertain and further lull to sleep those already woefully “at ease in Zion.” (Amos 6:1) Yet nothing is going to change until the true remnant of the LORD ceases to fund false ministries (unfruitful according to New Testament standards) and begins to financially fund the true Gospel through full-counsel, God-fearing servants who labor for the glory of Jesus Christ alone – where ever they find themselves and not just behind a pulpit or in a “church building.” Friend of Jesus, cause every dollar you give to make an eternal difference in the hearts of men. Jesus is Coming!
Saint, do you realize that you have an “account” in Heaven waiting for you. And, that the LORD desires that it “abound”, which means to be richly filled. Listen to what the Holy Ghost had the apostle Paul pen concerning your giving: “Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.” Philippians 4:17
Bringing the our love offerings into the LORD’s work is to be worship, and continues to re-establish who is first in our lives. It’s all about worship. Giving God what is His (firstfruits free will offerings) is the demonstration of being “faithful in the unrighteous mammon.” “Unrighteous mammon” is a term for natural monies (the U.S. dollar in our case). If we are not faithful in our worship to give Him back a portion of the natural treasures He gives into our hands, He will not grant to us the “true riches” of His spiritual blessings of kingdom authority.
“Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” Proverbs 3:9-10
The LORD promises to honor those who honor Him:
“Them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.” 1 Samuel 2:30
Do we not “honor” (worship) God when we give Him the first portion of all He gives us? Do we not “despise” Him when we don’t? Beloved, are you honoring or despising God?
There are no riches outside of Christ and only those who live in faith and real obedience to Him have those eternal riches. Earthly money is an illusion and soon to be vanquished for ever. The only thing we will have is what we chose to do for Christ while living this short life on earth.
The way we spend our earthly revenues is the true reflection of the priorities of our hearts. To find out where your heart is, simply look closely at your spending. Look over your debit or credit card statement(s) and check register, and you will see exactly where your heart is. Our LORD stated that “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21)
How does the LORD monitor our hearts? The LORD looketh on the heart and sitteth over (positions Himself) against the treasury to read it (1 Sam. 16:7; Mark 12:41-44).
Friend in Christ, If you are praying and seeking God for more spiritual authority to serve in His eternal kingdom, start with the practical obedience of giving your love offerings to the ministries where you are being fed the Word (“Lean not to your own understanding”). The LORD will then be able to trust you with the “true riches” of authority to serve in His kingdom. This is exactly how He chose to set up His kingdom and how it works. There has never been nor ever will there be a shortcut.
The LORD has been faithful to place monies into our hands. He now asks whether we, individually, are going to be faithful to place His portion of those monies back into His kingdom as He commanded (Mal. 3:8-12). Will you be faithful to Him?
“A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” Proverbs 28:20
Remember friend, there is no reason to delude ourselves into thinking we have or will ever have, authority in God’s kingdom if we are not faithful to Him in giving Him our whole selves in worship, including the monetary portion that belongs to Him for His servants to do His work.
When we truly begin to aggrandize divine truth, we will then begin supporting only those Gospel works where the declaration of the full-counsel of the LORD’s Word is resident. That is, with no fear of mere men (Galatians 1:10). We should immediately cease funding the ministries of false prophets who allow most of their ministry revenues to be absorbed on things other than that which is at the core of importance in the divine economy, like the true building up of the saints – getting them into the Word for themselves, and winning lost souls.
Jesus Christ is all-knowing and sees everything and will reward every good deed, offering of love or work done in His name and love.

10 Truths to Behold in Isaiah 41:10 [podcast]
“Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not
cast thee away. 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen
thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold
thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
Isaiah 41:9-10
There are 10 truths to behold in Isaiah 41:10:
• “Thou art my servant”
• “I have chosen thee”
• “and not cast thee away”
• “Fear thou not”
• “I am with thee”
• “be not dismayed”
• “for I am thy God”
• “I will strengthen thee”
• “I will help thee”
• “I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness”
The soul that prospers is that one who clings to, trusts in and
relies upon Christ alone, day by day, walking ever nearer to
the soon coming Savior. He is with us and promises to “never
leave thee, nor forsake thee”—that is, for those who abide
with Christ (Hebrews 13:5).
1 Peter 1
“Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Prayer: Dear LORD, thank You for helping me today, and
continuing the good work of salvation You began in me the
moment You saved me. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Goal of the Ungodly Eternal Security Teachers [podcast]
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (license to sin), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 3-4
“This is AWESOME! You got all over it. It really flowed. Excellent! In the delivery, your excitement and passion for this subject are unmistakable. How can ANYONE listen to this and not want to check out the Word of God for themselves?” Debbie L.
“Thy prophets (false leaders) have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered (exposed) thine iniquity (have not uncovered your sin), to turn away thy captivity (to get you set free from it); but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment (ultimate termination into hell).” Lamentations 2:14
COUNTERFEITS who hide behind their OSAS fairy tale HATE this biblical reality and are willing to call the LORD a liar in order to retain this heresy – “And he that overcometh, and KEEPETH my works UNTO THE END, to him will I give power over the nations:” (Revelation 2:26)
