The Christmas Spend

How I praise God that you are concerned for me. I know you

always have been but never had the chance to help me. Not that I was in need as I have learned to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on very little or with plenty. I’ve

learned the secret with either little or plenty. I can do all things through

Christ who strengthens me...

As you know you Philippians were the only church to send me financial

help when I first brought you the Good News, no other church did

this. Even when I was in Thesalonica you sent help more than once. I

don’t say this because I want a gift from you, rather I want you to

receive a reward for your kindness. Right now I have plenty because of the gift you sent to me recently...

They are a sweet smelling sacrifice that is acceptable & pleasing to God. And this same God who takes care

of me, will supply all your needs from His glorious riches which have

been given to us in Christ Jesus!

Philippians 4: 10 – 19(A)

You have done so well to share with

me...14

You sent me help more than once..16

Your gifts are a sweet smelling

aroma pleasing to God...18

And my God

will supply all your needs

from His glorious riches which have been given to us in

Christ Jesus

But if you give, your gifts will return to you in full, pressed down

shaken together running over into

your lap. The degree to which you give

determines what you receive...

Luke 6:38

Whoever gives you a cup of water in My name because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose their

reward...Mk.9:41

God will not forget your work & the love you

have shown Him as you have

helped & continue to help

His people.

Heb.6:10

You don’t have what you want because you don’t ask the Lord!

James 4:2

And even when you ask you don’t get it

because your motives are all

wrong only wanting empty

pleasure...
