Yesterday we celebrated God's provision at alpha, although I cant say to much about what actually happened, let's just say we received a heck of a lot of money from a foundation from which we only asked a little. Obviously this is of great excitement and an example of God pouring out his favour, lavish and generous blessing on us. Money is not everything, but it is a great tool, that when used effectively, and stewarded properly, it can bring about much good.
I was reminded yesterday that everything is the Lord's (1 Cor 10:26) and he can choose to do with it what he wills.
I also realized that when these moments happen, its so important to celebrate.
celebrate
First and foremost God and his generous love expressed in a tangible way.
Secondly to celebrate the moment and for those who gave.
Thirdly celebrate the direction of alpha and the opportunities that will flow out of this gift for the extension of God's kingdom here in Canada.
I am so grateful to be apart of something that is so much bigger than myself, so much bigger than alpha. It is a great privilege to do what I do and serve the local church. Although it is a great priviledge I do feel the burden of responsibility that comes with gifting and call. But I believe that God has enabled us to do what he asks us in the power of his Holy Spirit.
But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. Luke 12:48
