We must realise that it is God who gives us the power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18). He granted Israel the favour to plunder the Egyptians (Exodus 12:36), to the end that out of this wealth they will freely give for the building of the tabernacle in the wilderness (Exodus 25).
Whether financially, materially or mentally, the Lord prospers us for His name sake, that we may be tools in His hand to bring to pass His purpose that all the peoples on earth might know and fear. Him, as we build His kingdom with the redeemed souls of lost men. How does the way you are investing your life reflect a commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ and the Great Commission?
God wants us to build His kingdom not empires and structures. He wants us to invest our lives and earnings to bring lost souls back into His kingdom. This is a costly and demanding venture; but He has put in our hands severally, what it takes to achieve it. We must have a global perspective of our Christian commitment, and not allow our local affiliations set our horizon so close.
Some of us must go to the harvest (Romans 10:14). Some must supply the finance and materials (Romans10:15).
Some must pray without ceasing (Matthew 9:38). Every Christian, irrespective of denominational affiliations, must be a part of it!

PARTNERSHIP/MEMBERSHIP
As people of God we have seen and heard of men and women forsaking all and plunging into the deep waters of world evangelization as missionaries, to seek out people who have never heard about Jesus and tell them the Good news. This could be in remote hamlets, jungles, towns, cities and countries prohibiting the preaching of the gospel, where the devil is having a field day oppressing, afflicting and sending the inhabitants to a Christ-less eternity. Quite some huge successes have been recorded as the kingdom of God and His Christ are being established among these unreached peoples. But there are yet more grounds to be conquered.
The demands are so enormous, both for the work and the upkeep of the missionaries and their families that no person can do it alone. However, as we join together to pray, give of our finances and materials or visit to give emotional support we would, like Aaron and Hur (Exodus 17), hold up the hands of these combatants for sustained victories. Go~ has designed that both they and we should be equally rewarded. (1 Samuel 30:24).
