God has called us to stand together! Partnership is more than just being on a mailing list, it is a “bridge” which connects blessings to both sides. When you give to this ministry, it’s not just about what the ministry needs, it’s seed you sow in obedience which will cover a need in your life too!
It’s important to understand the power in partnership. Through partnership we maximize our impact for the Kingdom. According to Philippians 4:17, our partners will have “fruit” deposited to their account, from the work of this ministry in Norway and in the Nordic Nations.
When you give to RHEMA Norway, you are not only blessing the people that are being touched by this ministry, but you are also partaking of the anointing and the blessing that’s on RHEMA. With your partnership, you join a supernatural flow of saving the lost, establishing Believers, training & equipping Students and sending out Graduates into the harvest field.
This was something I learnt from the Word of God. The Lord directed me to this “good ground” way back in 1999, when we moved to Germany to attend RHEMA. Now that Brynjulf and I are back living in Norway, I am so blessed to continue partnering with RHEMA Norway in many different ways. I can give with my time and means. I can give towards helping build people up to the call of God in their lives in many ways.
Let’s look at some examples from the Apostle Paul’s ministry:
An important aspect of the Apostle Paul’s ministry was teaching. He taught in Antioch (see Acts 11:26), and as he was sent out from there with Barnabas he continued teaching during his missionary journeys, in synagogues, in the market places, and in the newly established congregations. He too focussed on saving the lost, establishing the converts in the Word of God, equipping the believers and sending them out as well.
People were giving to his ministry on a regular basis. In 1 Corinthians 16:2 the Apostle Paul writes, “On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside” (NKJV). These partners Paul was talking about became systematic and deliberate givers.
Philippians 4:19 is a scripture about partnership. Paul writes to his faithful partners in Philippi, “But my God shall supply all of your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
Mix faith with your giving. Continue to ask God for direction in your giving and respond faithfully (2 Cor. 9:7).
We are blessed to be a blessing! Amen. We build His Kingdom here on the earth and the Lord provides a supernatural flow that will meet all our need. (Matthew 6:33)
We are the family of God, members of “one” body. In what ever way we give and partner with this ministry, we are giving to the work of the Lord. What a privilege to serve God by serving His mission and mandate for Norway and the Nordic Nations.
We here at RHEMA Norway continually pray for our partners. We believe that your harvest is coming, for He is Faithful! “Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness” (2.Cor 9:10).
