Being a Vessel to Bless Others
"One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." Proverbs 11:24-25
One of the reasons God entrusts money to us is to bless other Christians by meeting their needs. God uses the transfer of money within the Body of Christ to build unity among Christians. Sometimes we withhold money that God has designated for someone else. He wants to bless through us, but His will cannot be accomplished through us if we are disobedient.
This was the case for a business owner who tells of the time when God told him to forego a company bonus one year. God directed him to share his year-end bonus with an employee to show his appreciation for him. He wrestled with God for three full days before obeying the Lord on the matter. When he finally met with the employee to give him his check, the man said he had been praying about a financial need he had three days earlier. He had decided to borrow the money to meet his need. The amount of money he borrowed was the exact amount the business owner gave him.
God had already planned to provide for the employee through the business owner, but because he was hesitant, he almost missed the opportunity to be an instrument of God in this man's life. Even so, he could have prevented the man from having to borrow money. It was an important lesson for the business owner.
How many people do we let down because we feel the "harvest" God provides is all ours? In America, the pressure is always on to move up the ladder of material accumulation. Jesus warned us about this. If our focus is on accumulation, we will not look for opportunities to be God's vessels of financial blessing to others. Ask the Lord if you have an open hand when it comes to finances.

ANFI Governors Board (Apostolic Network). We believe in five-fold ministry: that God has given to the church apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelists to equip His Body for the work of ministry. We do not elevate any of these 5-fold ministers above the other, although we do feel that the term "apostolic network" best captures who we are and are becoming.
Components of an ANFI (Apostolic Network)
1. We have an International Worldview. We value a breadth of vision and reaching out beyond our sphere.
2. We desire a reduction of the gap between revelation and manifestation. We expect to hear God and see Him do great things.
3. We seek to be radical in our action and attitudes. We pray for integrity in all that we do.
4. We want to have a strong impact in the spiritual realm, declaring the mind and purpose of God.
5. We seek to be bold and confident in God, purpose centered and people minded.
6. We want to produce more than we consume. We pray to be exporters of blessing, training, equipping and giving.
7. We have a variety of resources.
8. We're committed to train and equip.
9. We strive to have common, consistent values.
10. We want to be pioneers, not just maintainers of tradition.
