UNDERSTANDING KINGDOM
PARTNERSHIP
Partnership
is a covenant principle established by God for the effective spreading
of the gospel and blessing of the saints.
First of all, God who is a spirit needed a body to through which He can
rule the earth. So He founded the church (body of believers) and sent
His spirit to partner with us. Hence, He can reside in us and express
His grace and power through us to reach the word.
Paul prayed for the Corinthian church: “the grace of the lord Jesus
Christ and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with
you all. Amen.” The Greek word for communion is koynohniah which
means partnership, participation, intercourse, communication etc. So
partnership is not man’s invention, it is God’s. Get involved in it.
EXAMPLES OF PARTNERSHIP IN THE SCRIPTURE
Peter partnered with Jesus by giving his boat for the preaching of the
gospel and got a net breaking harvest in return. – (Luke 5:1-5)
Mary, Joanna, Susanna and others partnered with Jesus and got blessed by
His anointing.-(Luke 8:3)
The Philippians’ church partnered with Paul from the inception of his
ministry as a result God blessed them financially by meeting all their
need through Paul’s prayer.
