EFFORT TO INCREASE THIS SPECIAL FUND. The WORK OF GOD as a whole
cannot grow or increase without it!
This powerful Work is now carrying Christ's gospel to
every corner of this world--every inhabited continent--and to
twenty-five MILLION people every week!
Remember, GOD PROSPERS HIS TITHERS. The very first tenth
of your income BELONGS TO GOD. He says we are stealing it--robbing
GOD--if we use that first tenth for ourselves. IT IS FOR HIS WORK.
Read Malachi 3 8-10. Read I Corinthians 9--especially verses 11
through 14. God has ORDAINED that Christ's Work should be
supported by the TITHES--even so as the Old Testament ministry of
the Levites was supported by the tithes. Every day I receive
letters from people telling of how they have been blessed
financially, far beyond anything in their lives before, since they
began to pay God HIS tenth. Also frequently from some who have
stopped or neglected tithing--telling how everything started going
WRONG, until they repented and started tithing again. GOD
CERTAINLY BLESSES THE TITHER!
But God says "tithes and offerings." The tithe is one-
tenth. God does not tell you HOW MUCH your additional offerings
must be. He leaves that to your own honesty and generosity,
according as you are able. But God does love a cheerful GIVER--and
Jesus said it is MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to receive! IT REALLY
PAYS! And it gives you that GOOD FEELING inside!
I haven't mentioned special loans for two or three
months, have I? THEY DO HELP in a tremendous way! Some of you
have a thousand, or several thousand dollars which you may not feel
free to just GIVE as an offering. Of course, if you can GIVE such
large sums, remember it is deductible on your income tax--up to 30%
of your income (and in the case of such large contributions, we
advise dividing it between Ambassador College and Radio Church of
God--two separate California corporations, yet all working in the
same Work of God--and each corporation approved as a non-profit
corporation by the Internal Revenue Bureau).
But if you cannot simply GIVE such an amount, but are not
using it just now, why not LET IT BE WORKING IN GOD'S WORK, until
you need it, on a loan basis? Perhaps later you might see your way
clear to turn part or all of it into a donation, and deduct it. If
not, we guarantee its return to you at time agreed--if you need and
request it. We have repaid quite a large sum in this way recently,
and new additional loans would surely help replace this.
God's Work always is in need--for this great Work goes on
night and day, AROUND THE WHOLE EARTH! It never sleeps! The sun
never sets on our offices around the world! Somewhere, in some
part of the world, one of our full-time office staffs is operating
full speed ahead in DAYLIGHT! When it's night here, it is day in
Australia, or the Philippines, or South Africa, or Europe or
England. This is a big and a BUSY Work.
WHAT A PRIVILEGE to be a Co-Worker in it! God IS
blessing you!
