DECEMBER 6, 2009 will be our THANKSGIVING DAY at His Life

Giving that Causes me to Grow Giving causes you and I to GROW! Always! There is a way of GIVING that PLEASES God. It is in the format of Cheerful, Thankful Giving!

4. Will this amount demonstrate how much I love Christ and his church family? "...be a leader in the spirit of cheerful giving.... This is one way to prove that your love is real, that it goes beyond mere words." 2 Corinthians 8:8 (LB)

Our THANKSGIVING offering will be the greatest spiritual test that God has given to many of us. It will test our faith ...our hope ...and our love. Many have asked “How do I decide what God wants me to give?” \

6 Questions To Ask Myself 1. Will I give based on REASON or by REVELATION? Is my gift just what I think I can afford or is it what God wants to give through me?

2. Does this amount really stretch my faith? "God is able to make it up to you by giving you everything you need and more so that there will not only be enough for your own needs but plenty left over to give joyfully to others." 2 Corinthians 9:8 (LB)

3. Does it show I value my hope of eternal reward more than material things on earth? “Use your money to do good... always being ready...By doing this you will be storing up real treasure for yourself in heaven--it is the only safe investment for eternity! And you’ll live a fruitful Christian life down here as well." 1 Timothy 6:19 (LB)

5. Does this amount represent a genuine sacrifice? “I will not sacrifice to my God an offering that costs me nothing!" 2 Samuel 24:24

6. Does this amount express the level of thanksgiving I have for how His Life has blessed my life & family? "With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O Lord.” Psalm 54:6 (RSV)

If you’ll sincerely ask these questions, you’ll be able to arrive at a specific amount to give. The amount will almost always be larger than the first number that popped into your mind since it will be a step of faith. (borrowed from TTB with minor additions by JR] ——————————————————————————

Prayer Points: Pray that EVERYONE in our church will give THANKFULLY to God on December 6 their largest gift. Pray that everyone will have GODLY, CREATIVE IDEAS and to find ways to give their largest gift. Pray for SUPERNATURAL PROVISIONS from God for all the Campaign Team Members and Facilitators and for everyone who will participate in this THANKS 2009 Campaign (HLM Wide and Network WIDE). Pray for UNITY & REVIVAL in our One His Life Ministries Movement.
