What are the needs in our congregation? Whatever the needs are, God is willing to fulfill them. We join the Apostle Paul in proclaiming “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19, NIV). Do we believe that? Do we truly trust that God will meet our needs—both our individual needs and those of the congregation? God is a God who fulfills His promises and surely He will fulfill this promise.
What are the needs of our congregation and who will fulfill them? Today’s offering is for the local church and yes, it is up to us to fill those needs. But the good news is that we do not fulfill them on our own. We ask God to bless and, through us, God will fulfill these needs.
As we give today’s offering for our local church let us give it with an attitude of gratefulness to our God because He has blessed us.
Let us return a faithful tithe and give an offering for our local church according to the blessings we have received from God.
