Acts 12:25. “And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname is Mark.” THE MINISTRY. Needs will arise, and it is no surprise, that not just everyone can handle the funds. Those who have been tried, tested and wise, should care for those needs when they come. It is truly a ministry, not just some little soliloquy, to dispense what others give with good care. Use your most suited men, pass the responsibility on to them, and give them the burden to bear. Not novices or the “lightweight” have the ability a ministry to take, where the temptations are to sin are strong. Choose not one but two, the both of them who, will not allow any funds to go wrong. When their task is complete, ask them to repeat, what they did with the ministry they were given. Let the saints be assured, the labor of love they endured, has been used on earth to bring honor in heaven. Give credit where credit is due, and when that particular work is through, let them then get back to their calling. Likely that work too will expand, because each of those men, will be known as leaders worth following.
“I know, Father God, the pressures and temptations to use money given in a wrong
way. We now have these funds made available to use in the work of the Lord and I need to be assured of where You would have these put to use. Would it be possible, to in some way, let indications be given to us regarding needs in other areas we should be considering? When this evidence comes let all of us who are involved be of one mind in the dispensing of these funds. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
