* from one of Dr. Ron’s forthcoming books, Destiny Helpers

Now no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. (Philippians 4:15, NKJV)

Few topics in the Church are surrounded by as much misunderstanding, misuse, and silent suspicion as financial partnership. The minister who teaches on giving is sometimes labeled a manipulator. The giver who funds a ministry is sometimes treated as a transaction rather than a partner. In the middle of this confusion, a profound biblical truth is obscured—and I want to set it back in its rightful place: financial helpers are sent by Heaven, just as surely as intercessors and apostles. Their giving is ministry. Their resources are anointed. Their partnership is a fruit-bearing investment that Heaven Itself records on their account. If you receive that one sentence, half of what is broken in modern ministry-funding will heal in your own work.
