Life<br />

<strong>Bible</strong>-Presbyterian<br />

Church<br />

member will do his best, God will take care<br />

of the rest.<br />

The secret of success is your gifts and<br />

free loans. We were able to take over<br />

Beulah with $2 million in reserves, $2 million<br />

in gifts and $3.2 in loans. We discharged<br />

payments for loans in a matter of<br />

two years. Whatever funds you can bring<br />

to the Lord’s house now become a valuable<br />

asset to the Church, for giving begets<br />

giving. Why do you want to earn that meagre<br />

interest Put your money with the Lord.<br />

“He that hath pity upon the poor (the<br />

Beulah Tower Project) lendeth unto the<br />

LORD; and that which he hath given will<br />

he pay him again” (Prov 19:17). And much<br />

more than the money you lend. He will<br />

bless your life and your children. When<br />

David told Nathan he would build God a<br />

house, later the prophet told him God<br />

would build him a house.<br />

At the time of rebuilding the Jerusalem<br />

Temple, there were selfish Jews who<br />

took God’s Word lightly. They built luxurious<br />

houses for themselves but had no part<br />

in rebuilding God’s house. The prophet<br />

Haggai admonished them, “Now therefore<br />

thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider<br />

your ways. Ye have sown much, and bring<br />

in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye<br />

drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye<br />

clothe you, but there is none warm; and he<br />

that earneth wages earneth wages to put it<br />

into a bag with holes. Thus saith the LORD<br />

of hosts; Consider your ways. Go up to the<br />

mountain, and bring wood, and build the<br />

house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I<br />

will be glorified, saith the LORD” (Haggai<br />

1:5-8).<br />
