Partnership letter
From the desk of Pastor Sing
A Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to all my partners in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour. I thank God for you who are partners in our Ministry. Every day we are advancing the Kingdom of God.
Pastor Zubeda and I together with my family want to wish you and your family all the best during this Christmas season.
During this time, everyone is in the mood of celebration. This is wonderful because God has caused us to accomplish many things in 2012 in spite of the great challenges. 2012 was a blessed and fruitful year because of the testimonies and miracles God has performed in our midst.
As we celebrate Christmas and enter 2013 please remember how great God has been to you and consider the following as I share along the lines of partnership. My scripture references are as follows.
Philippians 4:10-20 “But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
Php 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
Php 4:12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
Php 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Php 4:14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
Php 4:15 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.
Php 4:16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
Php 4:17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
Php 4:18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
Php 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Php 4:20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
2 Corinthians 9:1-15 “For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
2Co 9:2 For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.
2Co 9:3 Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready: 2Co 9:4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.
2Co 9:5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness. 2Co 9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
2Co 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
2Co 9:9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
2Co 9:10 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;)
2Co 9:11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
2Co 9:12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; 2Co 9:13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; 2Co 9:14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
2Co 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.”
There is Power in Partnership. The Awesome Power of Agreement is released when you become associated with an Anointed Man of God or an Anointed Ministry in a common understanding. When you join in partnership with Faith Centre International Ministries, you become hooked up with us, in accomplishing the vision God has called this ministry to accomplish.
You become a co-laborer with this Ministry in its effect to teach the Word of God. As you change Your World and the World of others around you, at home, on the job, a sinner, a stranger, you are assisting this ministry in making a mark in the lives of people.
The Story of the cross is about the end of selfishness and the beginning of selflessness. In Philippians 4:10-20, we see the apostle Paul entering into partnership with a church at Philippi. This church is communicating, giving and ministering to his Ministry.
When they begin to communicate financially with his ministry we see by the power of the Holy Ghost, that partnership in full effect. This particular church (group of people) like you are, was in fellowship with Paul to accomplish that which God had called him to carry out.
Philippians 4:18-19 “But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
Php 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
What is being said here, is that when you become a partner, God is ready to supply your need as a result of the seed you sow in partnership. Christians usually take this verse out of context and use it to claim that their needs will automatically be met.
Unfortunately, if you haven’t supplied any seed, God is not able to supply your need. What he is telling you in this instance is that He is able to supply your need according to His riches in Glory because you have supplied someone else’s. Paul is stating that because this church has communicated with him (Has given unto His need) God in turn is able to give to them.
Heavenly Account: So, now when you partner with this Ministry, you have a right to take hold of the nineteenth verse and declare “In the Name of Jesus because I am in partnership with this vision, my God shall supply all my need, according to His riches in Glory, by Christ Jesus, as I have been supplying and helping out the needs of this ministry, with which I am in partnership. Glory to God! Now unto God our Father, be Glory forever and ever, Amen”
When you become a partner with FCI, you help supply our need, but not only that, you are sowing for your own needs. Because you have planted into this ministry, with your finances, your prayers and your commitment, God says you have stored up treasure for yourself. When you plant your seed in this Ministry, you are making a deposit into a heavenly account.
Now when you have a need in your life, you will have the right to make withdrawals from that account. It’s so important to understand what partnership is and to know that there are blessings associated with being a partner.
How does one become a vital partner? Firstly, you recognize an anointed man/woman of God and a ministry. Then you become a partner with Man of God. Then you plant seed into His Ministry and life. Then you pray for him. Then you lift him up and do whatever you can to serve him and to assist him in accomplishing his vision. Then, your vision dies completely.
N.B This is when you spend all your time helping to bring about the success of Faith Centre International. Then you become concerned and vitally interwoven about the success of this vision.
End Result: You will begin to operate in the same anointing. You will experience Supernatural Manifestations. This is the Power of Partnership. The Anointing of God is released when you join another in Partnership.
Philippians 4:19 “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (The Anointed One and His Anointing)
This clearly shows that the Anointing of God is available when partnership is affected. The release of God’s power is going to be released on your behalf because of your Act of Partnership.
You are blessed and favored of the Lord. The Grace of the Lord Jesus is upon you. I declare that during this time you will enjoy great favor. I see you walking in True Prosperity from today. I declare that everything about you flourishes and that you are a blessing to the whole world in the Name of Jesus Christ.
As you sow your tithe, offerings and pledges this month, I declare God’s favor on your life. I pray that every desire in your heart will come to pass this festive season. Things will not just be added to you, but multiplied to you as well.
Pastor Zubeda and I pray for you daily and rejoice to see the blessings of God on your life. I see you growing in your commitment to God’s house. I see you loyal and steadfast in Jesus Name. May God continue to richly bless you and your family.
Thank you for your kindness, support and loyalty to this ministry.
We love you very much,Dr. Roshan SingFaith Centre International, Durban, South Africa
