"I MUST BE A FAITHFUL STEWARD OF GOD’S PROVISION IN MY INVOLVEMENT."
PROVISION IN INVOLVEMENT
As we close out our topic for this month on “Provision for Involvement,” I pray that the lessons we heard challenged us more to be faithful in God’s work. Whether that be returning our tithes to the Lord, or showing our love in giving our offerings, faith-promise giving for missions, or supporting our various church ministries, we should be always reminded that our involvement in giving for God’s work will always be our greatest investment. For more than 30 years now, I have seen members who were blessed by God because they trusted God’s Word. We serve a very rich God. He owns everything. Psalm 50:10 says, “For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.” Actually, He created everything, and He never runs out of blessings for those who believe His promises. Let us cling to His promise and see how God will bless us more. Through our investments, let us see how God will bless His ministry more. Keep our Missions Conference in your prayers. Let us have an open heart for God’s Word today!

“BIG Friday”, this is one of the highlights of the Baptist Youth Campus Ministry. It aims to bring the students to church, win their souls to Christ, and motivate the members and new converts to involve in this ministry. Through the theme “Follow Me as I Follow Christ”, we encourage the members especially the young people to invite their classmates and schoolmates. This will also make them involve in meetings, prayer vigils, and Soulwinning schedules held in their school campuses.
II. CBBC-SPL must kindle the perpetuation in giving for that is a great way to have a clean conscience before God. A. God loves greatly a cheerful giver.

What Is Tithing? MAGPATULOY TAYO SA PAGBIBIGAY SA GAWAIN NG DIYOS
Mathematically it is a tenth.
Beata Agustin
“… and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.” (Gen. 28:21)
Lagi tayong binibigyan ng Diyos ng hangin Upang ating paghinga’y walang pagkabitin o pagkabinbin Tunay ngang biyaya sa pamumuhay na puno ng bayarin o singilin Kaya magpatuloy tayong magbigay sa gawain sa pamamagitan ng ating panalangin.
“… Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.” (Mal. 3:8)
Lagi tayong binibigyan ng Diyos ng lakas Upang ating pagkilos ay may siglang ipamamalas Tunay ngang kapangyarihan sa katawang pagsisikap ang binabagtas Kaya magpatuloy tayong magbigay sa gawain sa pakikibahagi nating wagas. Lagi tayong binibigyan ng Diyos ng katiyakan Upang ating pananampalataya’y lubos na tumibay sa gitna ng kasamaan Tunay ngang pag-iingat sa kaluluwang nahahatak at nasisindak ng kasalanan Kaya magpatuloy tayong magbigay sa gawain sa pag-aakay ng tao sa tamang daan. Lagi tayong binibigyan ng Diyos ng ilaw Upang ating patotoo’y magningning sa kabanalang tanglaw Tunay ngang liwanag sa matang binubulag ng kamunduhang nakasisilaw Kaya magpatuloy tayong magbigay sa gawain sa pagtulong sa kapatid at pagdalaw. Lagi tayong binibigyan ng Diyos ng pang-unawa Upang ating pagpapasya’y naaayon sa Kanyang Salita Tunay ngang karunungan sa isip na bubuwag sa pag-aalala’t pagdududa Kaya magpatuloy tayong magbigay sa gawain sa pagtuturo tungkol sa Biblya. Lagi tayong binibigyan ng Diyos ng habag Upang ating pagmamalasakit ay masidhing maipahayag Tunay ngang pag-ibig sa pusong ang pagmamahal ni Hesus ang iniyayakag Kaya magpatuloy tayong magbigay sa gawain sa pag-aalaga ng Kristyano para tumatag. Lagi tayong binibigyan ng Diyos ng galak Upang ating pagsunod ay nakatuon sa makalangit na yapak Tunay ngang ligaya sa paglilingkod kahit may pagdurusa’t paghamak Kaya magpatuloy tayong magbigay sa gawain sa pagbabala laban sa maling pagtahak.
Morally it is a debt.
Economically it is an investment. “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,...” (Matt. 6:20)
Scripturally it is a law.
“Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase...” (Deut. 14:22)
Spiritually it is a blessing.
“...I will open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it...” (Mal. 3:10)
Leftover Giving When you invite special guests to your home, do you warm up the leftovers in the refrigerator and serve them on paper plates in front of the television? Of course not. Most of us prepare a special meal, use our best dishes and arrange our schedules so that we can spend quality time with our guests. In other words, we offer them our very best. How many of us invite the Lord Jesus into our life and then serve Him “leftovers"? We give Him time “leftover” from our work, our families or or our recreation. We give Him talents “leftover" from our social organizations, our sports activities or our hobbies. We give Him money “leftover” after we pay our bills and our taxes and put some money aside for our vacation. “Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.” Num. 18:29 (emphasis added). Ask yourself, "Have I given to the Lord who died for me the choicest, or have I given Him leftovers?"
J The story is told of a farmer who was known for his generous giving and whose friends could not understand how he could give so much and yet remain so prosperous. One day a spokesman for his friends said. "We can’t understand you. You give far more than any of the rest of us and yet you always seem to have more to give." "Oh that is easy to explain," the farmer said. "I keep shoveling into God's bin and God keeps
shoveling back into mine and God has the bigger shovel."
ESUS talked a great deal about money. 16 of the 38 parables were concerned with how to handle money and possessions. In the Gospels, an amazing 1 out
of 10 verses (288 in all)
deal directly with the subject of money. The Bible offers 500 verses on prayer, less than 500 verses on faith, but more than 2,000 verses on money and possessions.
The Lord’s blessings upon us are more than millions of pesos. In fact, the Bible asserts that the Lord has “blessed us with all spiritual blessings” which are exceedingly enriching. With such enormous wealth, God is asking us to share an amount to complete our PI,000,000.00 commitment for His mission work. Let us be a blessing by giving our part.

Baptist Youth Fundamentalist @ 1:30 PM Maaari Mong Matiyak ang Langit Ang sabi ni Hesus, “Ako ang daan, ang katotohanan, at ang buhay: walang makapupunta sa Ama kundi sa pamamagitan ko.” Juan 14:6 Wala nang iba pang makapagliligtas sa iyo mula sa impiyerno. Magtiwala ka kay Hesus ngayon! Roma 6:23 “Kung ipahahayag ng iyong bibig na si Hesus ay Panginoon at mananampalataya ka nang buong puso na Siya’y muling binuhay ng Diyos, ikaw ay maliligtas”. Roma 10:9
