Empowering the believer with revelation on kingdom partnerships causing them to dominate on new levels of faith. Preparing the believer to respond to the leading of Holy Spirit in fulfilling the mission of God in the earth.
Preparing to Partner
Open up our minds to adopt a Kingdom perspective
Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes. —Romans 12:2 (TPT)
Provision actually resides in the Spirit realm
The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd. By faith, we see the world called into existence by God’s word, what we see created by what we don’t see. —Hebrews 11:1-3 (MSG)
In the beginning God made from nothing the heavens and the earth. The earth was an empty waste and darkness was over the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was moving over the top of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. —Genesis 1:1-3 (NLV)
Partnership’s Characteristics and Benefits
Partnership is
Two are better than one because a good return comes when two work together… —Ecclesiastes 4:9 (VOICE)
Partnership opens
The favor of high-level relationships brings blessings that you did not labor to build.So if you consider me your friend and partner, accept him the same way you would accept me… —Philemon 1:17 (TPT)
Partnership is
It is seen throughout the Bible and demonstrated by Jesus
- Jesus choses early in life to partner with God
He said, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I had to be here, dealing with the things of my Father?” But they had no idea what he was talking about. —Luke 2:49-50 (MSG)
4. God is
- God warns us about our pride
- God reminds us of our relationship
But then be very careful! Don’t forget the Eternal your God and disobey the commands and decrees and rules I’m giving you today. When your stomachs are full, when you’ve built comfortable houses to live in, when you have large herds and flocks, when you possess plenty of silver and gold, and when you have more things than you imagined possible; then don’t become proud and puffed up and forget Him. He brought you out of the land of Egypt where you were slaves; and He led you through that awful, vast wilderness with its poisonous snakes and scorpions, through that desert where there was no water. He made water come out of a hard rock; and He fed you in the wilderness with manna, a food your ancestors had never heard of. He did all this to humble you and test you, but it was all intended for your good in the end. If He hadn’t, you might have believed, “I’ve gotten all this wealth by my own power and strength!” Remember the Eternal One your God. He’s the One who gives you the power to get wealth, so He can keep the covenant promises He made to your ancestors, as He is doing now. —Deuteronomy 8:11-20 (VOICE)
5. This Partnership has
Come, let’s talk this over, says the Lord; no matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can take it out and make you as clean as freshly fallen snow. Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you white as wool! If you will only let me help you, if you will only obey, then I will make you rich! —Isaiah 1:16-19 (TLB)
Sowing in Partnership
1. Break up my way of thinking that is contrary to the Bible
Sow for yourselves according to righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God); reap according to mercy and loving-kindness. Break up your uncultivated ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, to inquire for and of Him, and to require His favor, till He comes and teaches you righteousness and rains His righteous gift of salvation upon you. —Hosea 10:12 (AMPC)
2. Become rooted in God’s way of doing things
“If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers - most of which are never even seen - don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving. People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.” —Matthew 6:30-33 (MSG)
3. Be a faithful steward
The Lord watches how we manage His gifts
“After a long absence, the master of those three servants came back and settled up with them. The one given five thousand dollars showed him how he had doubled his investment. His master commended him: ‘Good work! You did your job well. From now on be my partner…’” —Matthew 25:19-21 (MSG)
Because He desires faithful partners
“The servant with the two thousand showed how he also had doubled his master’s investment. His master commended him: ‘Good work! You did your job well. From now on be my partner.’” —Matthew 25:22-23 (MSG)
