Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. Luke 16:10
“If money is unsurrendered to God, it soon masters us. When we hold it as a trust, it blesses us. Our Christianity functions in and through the material. If we are faithful with material power, then God will entrust us with spiritual power… Transferring ownership to God means that every decision as to how your money will be earned or used will be based on scriptural principles, remember that one day we will have to give an account to God of how we managed the funds that He entrusted to us. So tell Him that from now on you are no longer a proprietor but a steward.”

Does your life lack spiritual power? Make your Christianity function through the material and see what happens.
When we surrender ourselves and the resources He has entrusted to us to God, He not only takes care of everything, He reveals His faithfulness through our faith. He demonstrates His power through our surrender.
I have surrendered my life, my resources, my service, and my work at GTP to God. Join me.
I have taken sabbatical to shift from the normal to the needful. Desiring spiritual power to write and serve, I surrender myself and my material resources to God in rest and trust that He will show up.
When you play proprietor, you get the stress of straining to supply.
When you surrender yourself and your material power to God, you trigger His attention, care, provision, and more. Jesus, I surrender myself and resources to you, take care of everything. Move every reader to join me I pray, in Jesus name.
And the visit with my aging parents has been priceless so far. Thanks for your prayers.
