“2019 is going to be a blow out year (most productive year ever) to those who stay connected to Him!” — Pastor Don Mancha

Genesis 8:22
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

The Law of Sowing and Reaping

Galatians 6:7-9
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Life- Zoe, life as God has it.

Be Led By The Spirit

John 16:13-15
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.

Guide - hodēgéō To lead the way.

Show - anaggéllō, To announce, make known, declare, tell of things done, events. “(AMPC) reveal (declare, disclose, transmit)”

Acts 16:5-10
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
7 After they were come to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; there stood -- a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavored to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

Make The Connection

2 Corinthians 8:1-5 (Passion Translation NT)
1 Beloved ones, we must tell you about the grace God poured out upon the churches of Macedonia.
2 For even during a season of severe difficulty and tremendous suffering, they became even more filled with joy. From the depths of their extreme poverty, super-abundant joy overflowed into an act of extravagant generosity.
3 For I can verify that they spontaneously gave, not only according to their means but far beyond what they could afford.
4 They actually begged us for the privilege of sharing in this ministry of giving to God’s holy people who are living in poverty.
5 They exceeded our expectations by first dedicating themselves fully to the Lord and then to us, according to God’s pleasure.

In partnership grace is reciprocal.

Reciprocal - given, felt, or done in return, (of an agreement or obligation) bearing on or binding each of two parties equally, a pronoun or verb expressing mutual action or relationship.

Philippians 1:3-8
3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

Partakers - sugkoinōnós, a companion, partner. A partaker together with others, a fellow or joint partaker, a sharer with someone.

Philippians 4:15-17
15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent --once and again unto my necessity.
17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

2 Corinthians 11:9
9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

Supplied - prosanaplēróō, To supply abundantly.

How Were The Macedonians Also Able To Give?

They received revelation on how to get out of poverty.

A seed will meet any need.

2 Corinthians 8:9
9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

2 Corinthians 9:10
10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

From Macedonia to Corinth
5 hours and 40 minutes by car.
92 hours by foot.
