RECEIVE A PART!
READ: Hebrews 6:1-19
… that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel, of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God’s grace which was given to me according to the working of His power. :-Ephesians 3:1-7 (NASB)
When you become a partaker of the promises of God, you are really a part of the family of God. Becoming a partaker is to become completely merged and united with something. When you have bonded with a calling, a ministry or a family, you automatically begin to partake of the promises they enjoy. To become a partaker is to go deeper and to add yourself to these promises.
God has called you to the ministry. Perhaps, He has given you someone to associate with, to merge with and to become bonded with. Why are you sitting on the fringes and only tasting? When you bond with someone, you bond with the promises that have been made to that person.
One day, I was praying and waiting on the Lord. I suddenly felt the Lord making a promise to me. He said to me, “I am going to give you a certain amount of money to build churches.” The Lord mentioned a certain amount of money in United States dollars. Then He said He would give me a certain amount of money to do certain other things. Certainly, anyone who is completely merged with me and has become one with me and my ministry will receive part of this money for the building of churches.
When you are a partaker, you start to enjoy the benefits of promises that have been made to the person you have been joined to. I have some young men who are building cathedrals in foreign nations. They are spending huge amounts of money to develop their churches. This is because they are completely merged with me as part of my ministry. Since these young pastors have become part of my ministry, they are enjoying the huge amounts that were promised me for the ministry.
