BY THE STUFF OR IN THE ROUGH
THE SAME REWARD TO ALL
Introduction:                       (Message for WIN WITH ONE Partnership Program)
--We are Jackie Calhoun Ministries, Jackie and Becky Calhoun. Graduates  Rhema Bible Training Center, members Rhema Bible Church. A traveling teaching/preaching ministry with an aim to help build up and bless the church everywhere we go, and by this we are building a partnership and base of support by which we can take the gospel to all the world, to work with Rhema and other missionary Training Centers/outreaches around the world.
--Our vision and mission statement is “GO…MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS.” We see this as extending from the neighbor next door to the nations of the world.
Purpose of Message: (Jn.15.8)
1. I want to show you from the Word of God about the power and benefits of being partnered up with a any missions/outreach ministry that has ONE FOCUS on winning souls and making disciples of Jesus.
2. I want to show you what you can do to have super-abundant, ever-increasing, compounding, multiplying, eternal fruit and rewards put to your account to the glory of God. Pr.10.22--RICH!! in spirit, soul, body, family, finances, socially, eternally, good things on earth, treasures in heaven.
Main thought: is that: “Some Stay Home By the Stuff and Some Go Out In the Rough, but the Same Reward Goes To All”.
Message Title: By the Stuff, Or In the Rough, the Same Reward To All
Message Text: 1Sam.30.18-26, 31. A principle applied to us today is this: Rewards go to all who are partnered with the ministry that is committed to winning/discipling souls to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Vs.24

I. See Word, the power/benefits of being partnered with a missions/ outreach ministry who has one focus winning and discipling (training) souls to Jesus
--Mt.10.41,42—Jesus taught same reward goes to all.
--Mk.12.43—It’s faith in the heart that counts, not the amount.
--Php.4.17; 2Cor.8.9—The ministry of God wants rewards for you.
--Mt.6.19,20,32,33. You can’t lose when you lay up treasures in heaven. Having ONE FOCUS of seeking first the kingdom of God, is how we lay up treasures in heaven. This stock market never crashes.. Eternal returns on your investment. This is how you can take your money with you!
--Mt.19.27-29—20.16. Principle: Partnership together in a missionary outreach brings rewards to all—both to those who forsake all and to the partners.
-- BY THE STUFF OR IN THE ROUGH, THE SAME REWARD TO ALL. Everybody is rewarded with eternal returns, by having ONE FOCUS of investing in God’s kingdom!
--Gen.30.27,30 (28.1;  29.14). Principle: God will bless those in partnership with those who are carrying out His covenant interests—SOULS.  Blessing flows when we give ourselves to win and train souls. The Commission.
--Php.1.5-7;  2.17,18;  4.15-20. Paul was sold out, ready to carry out his partners’ faith in the service of God, sold out to win and train souls, so he was confident that God would always take care of his partners and supply all their needs, because they were partners with him in this grace of God.

Php.1.5-7 Amplified
5. [I thank my God] for your fellowship—your sympathetic co-operation and contributions and partnership—in advancing the good news (the Gospel) from the first day [you heard it] until now.
6. And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ—right up to the time of His return—developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.
7. It is right and appropriate for me to have this confidence and feel this way about you all, because even as you do me, I hold you in my heart as partakers and sharers, one and all with me, of grace…

Php.2.17,18 Amplified
17. Even if [my lifeblood] must be poured out as a libation on the sacrificial offering of your faith [to God], still I am glad [to do it] and congratulate you all on [your share in] it;
18. And you also in like manner be glad and congratulate me on [my share in] it.

Php.4.15-17 Amplified
15. And you Philippians yourselves well know that in the early days of the Gospel ministry, when I left Macedonia, no church (assembly) entered into partnership with me and opened up [a debit and credit] account in giving and receiving except you only.
16. For even in Thessalonica you sent [me contributions] for my needs, not only once but a second time.
17. Not that I seek or am eager for [your] gift, but I do seek and am eager for the fruit which increases to your credit—the harvest of blessing that is accumulating to your account.

--Mt.18.19 “agree touching anything.” Partnership is power.
--Jn.4.34-38. Networking together generates rewards and rejoicing for all.
-- BY THE STUFF OR IN THE ROUGH, THE SAME REWARD TO ALL. Everybody is rewarded by being partners working together.

--Jas.5.7. God’s heartbeat, His one interest is souls, the precious fruit of the earth! He is not willing that any should perish, but that all to repentance.
--Mt.6.22,33 “…if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” God’s blessing rests upon the whole church body that has ONE HEART AND ONE FOCUS FOR MISSIONS AND OUTREACH AT HOME AND ABROAD. In God’s heart, missions and outreach is not a program of the church, it is the program of the church.

We have been seeing the power and benefits of being partnered up with a  missions/outreach ministry that has ONE FOCUS on winning souls and making disciples of Jesus. Now…

II. HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HAVE ABUNDANT FRUIT PUT TO YOUR ACCOUNT THROUGH PARTNERSHIP WITH A SOUL-WINNING/SOUL-TRAINING MISSIONS MINISTRY:

1. YOU CAN EACH PROCLAIM THE WORD IN PRAYER AT LEAST ONCE PER MONTH (OR ONCE PER WEEK, ONCE PER DAY,)
--Mk.11.23,24. Speak to the mountains.
--1 Tim.2.1-6. For the nations. Get beyond “our four and no more.”  God wants all to be saved, glory as the water covers the sea.
-- Rom.15.30-33; Eph.6.18-20. For us.
-- Eph.1.16-23;  3.14-21;  Col.1.9-12. We pray for you as Paul his partners.
--ONE time each month/week/day, proclaim the Word in prayer.

2. YOU CAN EACH PLANT A SEED IN FAITH EACH MONTH
--Mk.4.26-29. Not after large amount from you. Issue: we want everyone’s participation in faith so everyone can reap an increase in their life. If you don’t sow, you don’t grow. For growth, duplication, multiplication, and great harvest, every person in the church can release their faith by each person planting one dollar per month with your prayers. We want your faith activated. We want that dollar to be given with understanding that on the wings of prayer and faith, that seed is planted, germinates, grows, duplicates, multiplies, compounds, and continues to produce treasures in heaven for you forever to the glory of God.
--ONE DOLLAR, given in ONE FAITH, ONCE PER MONTH, by EACH PERSON, brings multiplied fruit and rewards to each person of the whole church body on continuous basis.  With everybody participating, everybody reaps an eternal reward! This is what God wants for His glory—Jn.15.8

3. YOU CAN PRESENT YOURSELF TO GOD FOR SERVICE TO BE USED BY HIM IN ANYWAY HE SO DESIRES
--2 Cor.8.1-7  “…but first gave their own selves to the Lord….”
--Rom.12.1,2. Beyond your comfort zone to give a witness. Growth, souls  saved, church grows, and we are enabled to go/increase outreach in world.
--You can’t go anywhere with your ship just sitting in the harbor. We want to get your ship of faith moving toward the destination of reaching every creature on the globe. If everybody’s ship of faith can get turned on and the ropes that holds that ship in harbor taken off, then she can start moving and sail out into the waters of humanity to reach that destination of preaching the gospel to every person. Over 6 billion souls. Together, we can do it by each doing our part. We want everybody to have a part so every person can be rewarded, by obeying the commission He gave us to carry out.
--By presenting yourself to God for service to GO AND WIN SOULS TO JESUS/ TRAIN TO DO THE SAME, you begin to generate a whole new realm of rewards for you/others who invest in your ministry. It’s like this:

Conclusion: Jn.15.8.  EG. ONE ACORN FOR AN OAK TREE. Isa.61.3
--Like the penny doubled every day for 30 days.
--Issac, one seed planted in faith, with a promise of unlimited fruitfulness.
--There are great rewards continually put to the account of those who are consistently investing in God’s kingdom by us all networking together with each other, and by all participating in one focus for missions and outreach.
You can lay up these treasures in heaven by: (sure investments, no crashes)
(1) Each person proclaiming the Word in prayer over each other,
(2) Each person planting a seed in faith each month, and by
(3) Each one of us presenting ourselves to God, to be used by Him in any way He so desires. Then, by this living faith, our petitions are granted, our needs are supplied, sinners are saved, disciples are made, the church increases, the kingdom is spread, there is abundant fruit, and continually ever-increasing, compounding, multiplying rewards goes to all to the glory of God/Jesus. Amen.
--Whether you stay home BY THE STUFF OR go out IN THE ROUGH THE SAME REWARD abundantly multiplies TO ALL.
