You wouldn’t know it by hearing most preachers on T.V. today.  But the truth is, God doesn’t need your money.  Remember, God’s city is made out of pure gold, and owns all the cattle on a thousand hills.  So what does man made money have to do with it?  Especially since Jesus specifically said you can’t serve God and mammon.

    I’ve got news for you.  God doesn’t need your money.  He just needs you.  It’s so much easier for people to write a check and think that they’ve done the will of God for their lives than it is to actually live for Him.  If Jesus could multiply loaves of bread and find provision in a fish’s mouth, why then do you think it’s necessary that He needs your finances?  The Kingdom of God isn’t hindered because of lack of finances, it’s hindered because of a lack of workers.

He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Luke 10:2

    Did you notice that?  He didn’t say “Pray for finances.”  Remember, provision wasn’t an issue for Jesus (ever read Matthew 6?) .  The problem here is workers!  The workers in the Kingdom are few, meaning less than they should be!  But you take a look at the churches today and most are packed with people.  The problem is that they are consumers of the gospel instead of propagators of it. 

    There are too many Christians waiting until they get enough _________ (fill in the blank with the typical excuse: money, experience, time, knowledge, etc.)  All the while, God is desperately wanting workers for His Kingdom.  And as I mention on the front page, He wants and needs full-time workers.

    Don’t wait until you have enough!  God is your provision.  Just step out and go, make an effort, even if your wrong, at least you’re trying.  A brother named Ryan Lawson once told me in an email, “Anything worth doing, is worth doing your worst.”

    God needs workers!!!! As another brother Mike Slayden tells me, “God wants your availability more than your ability.   If you are available, He’ll make you able.”

    Someone needs to tell you.  No excuse is good enough not to serve God with your entire life.  Any excuse is an idol that is keeping you from your destiny.

What to take from this:  If you really read this verse and meditate on it, “the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few”, you’ll hear God calling you.  The verse isn’t a prayer you pray in church hoping God sends somebody else into the field, the prayer is for the workers that are already in the field calling on the Lord for help!

  Remember, God doesn’t need anything that you can hold in your hands (remember, Jesus told the rich man to sell all he had and give it to the poor, not to His ministry).  He just needs your hands to work with, and through. 
Answer the call and become a worker for God.
