earth. But when He comes, He will call YOU and me to an
accounting. Notice what shall happen, SOON, when Christ returns to
this earth:
"And it came to pass, when He was returned, having received
the Kingdom, then He commanded those servants (YOU and me) to be
called unto Him, to whom He had given the money, that He might know
how much every man had gained by trading." (That is, in GOD'S
business -- proclaiming HIS GOSPEL).
To the one whose pound gained ten, He said, "Well, thou good
servant: because thou hast been faithful in VERY LITTLE, have thou
authority over ten cities." He enters GOD'S KINGDOM in joy, with
eternal life. He may have had very little money, as some of you
have, yet if he was FAITHFUL in tithes and generous offerings, he
enters his reward.
But what about the one who received his share of God's money
from God's earth (ALL you have come from God's earth!) but put NONE
of it into GOD'S BUSINESS -- contributed NOTHING toward warning the
world with Christ's Message -- contributed nothing toward the
salvation of precious lives for eternity in God's Kingdom. THEY
HAD EVERYTHING TAKEN AWAY -- they LOST EVERYTHING!
Time after time I have told our Co-Workers in these letters
HOW MUCH is GAINED -- produced -- by every single dollar placed in
this glorious WORK OF GOD! This is the very Work CHRIST directs!
HE is its HEAD. It has His GUIDANCE. It plunges forth in HIS
POWER -- the power of His HOLY SPIRIT! This is the Work HE
BLESSES, and PROSPERS!
The money placed in this Work is WORKING where CHRIST is
working!
That is why this Work is GROWING, and constantly MULTIPLYING
in power and scope! Around the WORLD! Now the MOST POWERFUL
broadcast in the world on radio!
The parable of the talents, in Matthew 25, gives the same
lesson, with emphasis on different phases of it. Co-Workers, Jesus
Christ IS CONCERNED with whether our hearts are in HIS WORK -- and
with how generous we are with our MONEY in regard to HIS WORK!
As this Work grows, we MUST have more and more completely
yielded, consecrated, and specially trained full-time staff members
for the MANY important positions in this Work, AROUND THE WORLD.
We have to staff offices in South Africa, in Geneva, in
Dusseldorf, in Vancouver, B.C., in Manila, in Sydney, Australia.
We have to send trained and chosen men out to counsel with and
baptize the thousands being converted.
These men and women must be trained in the Ambassador Colleges
-- GOD'S OWN colleges! Unless these colleges grow, the WORK cannot
grow. We have OUTGROWN our present buildings and facilities.
UNLESS WE CAN ERECT ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS FOR CLASSROOMS,
DORMITORIES, DINING HALLS, ASSEMBLY HALLS, GOD'S WORK CANNOT GROW!
