An act of one man's love opened the Gospel to the entire Heathen World
Acts 10:1
Cornelius was a devout man who respected God with reverential obedience. “He gave much alms and prayed to God always.” One day the Angel of God came to visit Cornelius and he said to him: “Thy prayers and thy alms have come up as a MEMORIAL before God.”
Definition of the word *Memorial:
a (1) : a lasting evidence, reminder, or example of someone or something notable or great (2) : a distinguished person
b : a memorial stone or a building erected in remembrance of a person or event.
"Monument." Merriam-Webster.com. Merriam-Webster, n.d. Web. 11 Sept. 2014. <http://www.merriamwebster.com/dictionary/monument>
Through his much prayers and his much giving by Cornelius, a memorial was established with God. His act of reverence opened the door for the Gospel to be preached to the Gentiles. Acts 10:1-4.
The King James Translation of Acts 10:31: “… thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in REMEMBRANCE in the sight of God.
The Amplified Bible expands the meaning: 31 And he said, Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and harkened to, and your donations to the poor have been known and PRESERVED before God [so that He heeds and is about to help you].
In verse 5, notice the Lord speaks to Cornelius and gives him specific instructions. Cornelius has just been called into the ministry and used mightily of God to send a vital message to Peter. The Gospel is now made available to everyone.
Wow! Think about that! Meditate on that! Selah!
Psalm 20:4 "The Lord remembers every offering!" Selah!
Who wouldn't like to be used of the Lord like Cornelius?
Your giving is for your benefit. You lay up treasure for yourself in Heaven. Always, follow the direction of the Lord, in your giving to reach people with the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ. For the Gospel is the POWER of God unto salvation!

It's always a matter of the heart
Jesus' lifestyle of giving resulted by following the example of His Father.
John 5:19
So Jesus explained, "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does.'
I love the scripture in John that sets us on the appropriate giving course. John 3:16-17 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him."
It begins with our receiving the greatest Gift given by the greatest Giver of all gifts. Jesus was ultimately giving himself to the Religious and the Government Authorities of the day on our behalf. He was the Gospel message that turned the world and history upside down. He was giving himself to be arrested, tortured, tried, and hung on a cross to die. He was giving Himself as a ransom for our sin. We can understand this scripture of giving is founded in love. John 15:13 "There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends."
We understand. His Disciples didn't.
Here is where we find their understanding of Jesus. His disciples have witnessed and benefited from his continual giving, however, they still don't recognize it as part of the Character of Christ they must adopt and develop in their lives. However, it is nearly impossible because there is no Holy Ghost and Fire on the inside of them yet!
Many of the Disciples closest to Jesus thought they really knew Jesus. They walked with Him on many adventures in faith. They witnessed miracle after miracle of provision and countless healing. They saw the Blessing of Abraham manifested upon and through upon His life. They even saw and heard the approval of Father God toward Jesus. Yet, they did not truly understand the Father's heart nor Jesus heart.
Jesus spoke plainly and they didn't understand. He spoke in the dark sayings of parables and they didn't comprehend the meaning. They didn't understand their role in giving and in Partnership for spreading the Good News of the Gospel.
Matthew 25:35 - 45 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’
37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink?38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,[a] you were doing it to me!’41 “Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons.[b] 42 For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink. 43 I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’
44 “Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’45 “And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me."
While these Disciples of Jesus directly benefited from much of what Jesus did for others, they had not adopted His lifestyle of giving, but tended to be satisfied and totally dependent upon the Master's giving. However, shortly they would see a well thought out selfless act of giving by the least likely in their society. It would be a wake-up call to the greater point of Partnership.
Partnership is about exchanging the fake, the false, the cult, the demonic culture for the Truth of the Gospel that will change the heart, the lives, the homes, the destinies of those who now love the Lord.
That's what we do when we bring the fullness of the Gospel message to those people we are assigned to in this Country, and dwelling in other nations on earth.

With over 36 Nations watching our programs, we know countless communities are being shaken upside down by the Word of Faith we preach and teach and minister through every broadcast.
