“And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
Elizabeth and I have been married since 1983, and I can attest to you that the above scripture from
Philippians is absolutely true. We have dwelt in the abundance of His loving care for these past 42 years.
Our first few years of marriage and then our first years of the ministry were times where we had no
choice but to trust in Jesus to provide for us. We were pretty poor in those two stretches, but from the
time we were first married, my wife taught me that we needed to tithe… we did. I must tell you that
those early tithes were pretty small, because our income was pretty small. But as our income increased,
we always made sure that our giving grew in relation to our income. Over the past number of years we
have been able to give much more than 10% and I want to tell you something. You cannot outgive God! I
am amazed over and over as we follow His teaching of biblical generosity, He just continues to pour out
His incredible blessings.
Are you dwelling in the joy of generosity? I challenge you to take a leap of faith by seeking God and
asking Him what you should give and then do it. I’m pretty sure He will pour abundantly into your life
too! By the way, the best part of His blessing us is our freedom to then bless others!
Dwelling in His Divine Economy,

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and constant in prayer.”
Great words from St. Paul for us in the good times and the times of struggle. Jesus tells us also that in this life we will have tribulation but to be of good cheer, because He has overcome the world. So…if we think everything is always going to be easy or if someone tells us if we live or believe a certain way then life will be without challenges, we will be continually disappointed. The truth is that life is tough but that there will also be times of hope and celebration. The key to living a fulfilled, contented Christian life is summed up in the last 3 words of the quote above. Being “constant in prayer” will keep us in continual fellowship with Jesus. Abiding in Him brings forth peace and as we get better at hearing His still small voice, He will lead us throughout our day. By the way, if you just read this, send me an email at wakeuppc@gmail.com and I will send you a blessing!
Rejoicing in Hope,
Pastor Chris Yount
