    A Life Poured Out | Lessons from 1 Corinthians 9 (Part 2)

    Paul said in verse 6-12: ‘Is it only I and Barnabas who lack the right to not work for a living? Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk? Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing? For it is written in the Law of Moses: ‘Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.’ Is it about oxen that God is concerned? Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us, because whoever ploughs and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest. If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more?’ When I stepped out independently from my church, I had to support myself. The expansion of the Bible smuggling was supported by my travel company. There are those who seek to gain a major reward out of serving God; I didn’t just give a tithe; I set a target to give God 90% and live on 10%.  Some of the biggest miracles I’ve seen where when I was supporting everything as an individual. It was in my heart to give God everything.  Paul was a tentmaker, an important occupation, he did it everywhere he went. Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the Gospel should receive their living from the Gospel. Before I set up a charity to support my vision, I used to borrow money to fund the evangelism. But then the work grew so big I needed the support of fellow believers; yet I don’t think those of us in ministry should profit because of the generosity of others – our needs should be met, but we shouldn’t be making a fortune out of Christian work, rather, plough the money back into the mission field.

    A Life Poured Out | Lessons from 1 Corinthians 9 (Part 1)

    'Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk? Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing? For it is written in the Law of Moses: ‘Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.’ Is it about oxen that God is concerned?

If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more? 'But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ. 'Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.' (1 Corinthians 9.1-14, NIV) In this chapter, the apostle Paul the Apostle defends his rights as an apostle but explains why he chooses not to use those rights, for the sake of the Gospel. Paul teaches that Christian freedom and rights should be willingly set aside when necessary for the sake of others and the advancement of the Gospel. I'm 94 - I do everything to win some by all possible means - I run to win the crown that will last forever: "Lord, keep me faithful to the end!" We're all in this race to win the reward we will receive in the Kingdom.  Watch the full message on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DavidGHathaway  For more information on the Ministry of David Hathaway https://www.eurovision.org.uk

    I wanted what was in the Bible: The Baptism of Fire and Power | Two Minute Daily Devotional

    I was only 14 when I was baptised in the Holy Ghost. What I wanted was what was in the Bible, the baptism of fire, of power. I knew that when the fire came down on 120 people in the Upper Room, they became fiery evangelists – and immediately Peter held the first evangelistic crusade of the early Church! You see, they were searching for God, waiting expectantly! And on the day of Pentecost, the miracle happened – the same Holy Spirit that had transformed Jesus, the same dynamic power that turned Him from the carpenter’s son into the Son of God, the same power that raised Him from the dead – this same power came on the first church, changed their lives and suddenly there was an explosion of evangelism, thousands of people saved – people who had come to Jerusalem from all over the world to celebrate the Jewish festival of Pentecost – these were the ones who found the reality of salvation, the miracles of healing – and now these were the ones who went out in the power of the Holy Spirit to spread the news of salvation worldwide. First evangelists, then missionaries! The same explosion can happen today! When I was searching for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, I wanted something explosive that would change my life. If you do not want that – if you want a quiet life, enough money to buy your food, some nice clothes – you will get what you want, but nothing more!

    Your potential in Christ | Two Minute Daily Devotional

    All of us once were sinners whom God loved, chose, fashioned and created. As an evangelist I know that when God looks at sinners, He doesn’t just see alcoholics, drug addicts, the hopeless broken lives. What He sees is the potential, what you can be when He touches you! God is always seeing the future. When you were still a sinner, God saw something in you He wanted. Sometimes it takes a long time – with Moses it took 80 years to form the real man that God could use to do the job! If only you knew what God sees in you, if you could see yourself as He sees you, not as you see yourself! What a difference it could make in your life if you would recognise your potential with God! When God deals with you, He does something unique. So often we want what other people have. In my relationship with God, I have never wanted what somebody else has. I want what is in His Word, what God has for me personally! Don’t copy other people. If you want the power of God, that power is not going to come from somebody else. Yes, others can lay their hands on you, but the power is going to come from God. Not from me, nor from someone else. You must get it direct from God and His Word. I was only 14 when I was baptised in the Holy Ghost. What I wanted was what was in the Bible, the baptism of fire, of power. I knew that when the fire came down on 120 people in the Upper Room, they became fiery evangelists – and immediately Peter held the first evangelistic crusade of the early Church!
