God has everything you need to do exactly what he’s called you to do.  I’ve learned that so many times.  The greatest things that God does are never about money but always require money.  He provides it.  God’s finances begin to roll when we begin to move in obedience with what he is saying.  In the early days of ministry, God is teaching obedience - which he can gauge by how we say yes and no - and what we say yes or no to.  He’s looking for obedience and faithfulness in the small and unseen things.  In our prime ministry days it’s about scale - and how we use all God has given us over the past to bring it to bear in a focused situation.  No matter how much God is using you now - the older you get - the more he wants to use you.  This is the story of the Bible, the story of history, and all of our story.  As Robert Clinton has written, the majority of people who blow it - do so in their later years.  I’m convinced they begin to rest on what God has done and view their life much as the world does - you achieved something and then enjoy the benefit from it till you die.  That’s not kingdom economics - kingdom economics says - God blessed me, and has called me to multiply.  Multiply is more and even sometimes different from what we see in the beginning.  When a planter starts a church - often their greatest dream is tied to their community, their church, their “stuff” but God sees the world.  A church for 5,000 - 20,000 - a million - how bout 6.3 BILLION!  That is a different kind of church requiring a different level of faith, focus, and funds - but that’s the only church Jesus said he’s coming back for.  Plough hard and deep, but keep looking up beyond the single furrow you’re ploughing.  Some want to trust God for a few million for a big building - God’s wants to entrust a few of you with billions for billions!
