Stewardship is the vehicle we use to finish the
work
God’s work is held back, but for how
long?
The work of God, which should be going
forward with tenfold its present strength
and efficiency, is kept back,...because
some of God’s professed people are
appropriating to themselves the means
that should be dedicated to His service,

Now God
requires
,
not less
,
but
greater gifts than at any other
period of the world.
The
principle laid down by Christ is
that the gifts and offerings
should be in proportion to the
light and blessings enjoyed
.
He
has said: “For unto whomsoever
much is given, of him shall be
much required.”
Use heaven’s Missile
We pray for the
sick
We pray for rain
We pray for
protection
Why not pray
for people to
be saved?

14. Remind people of their Passport
There will be no one saved
in heaven with a starless
crown. If you enter, there
will be some soul in the
courts of glory that has
found an entrance there
through your
instrumentality.—
