INTRODUCTION
In the last study on this topic, we focused attention on our role in the partnership with God Almighty. Our case study was the young lad who partnered with Christ in feeding the multitude. God want all of us to be kingdom builders today.
In today's study, we shall examine conditions for partnership. To be a partner with God, one must fulfill these conditions. May the Lord count us worthy to be labourers together with Him” Amen.
B. CONDITIONSFORPARTNERSHIP
In a business enterprise, partners are expected to fulfill some condition before they can be referred to as such. One of such conditions is that there must be a common business between them. We have examined this before. Today we will look at other conditions:
The business must result in profits. Since the partnership was set up to pull together more resources, higher profit is also expected to be declared. God desires fruit from us and He has also promised to reward us accordingly. Luke 13:6-9, Jn. 15:16, Isa. 5:1-7, Heb. 11:6, Dan. 12:2.3, 2 Tim. 4:6-8, Jam. 1:12, I Pet. 5:2-4.
The partnership remains in force as long as both partners are alive. God lives from everlasting and He is the God of the living. It is a tragedy to have known God, be used of Him and then be forsaken because of sin. Ps. 42:2, Isa. 38:19, Matt. 22:3, Jer. 2:11-13, I Sam. 2:27-36, 3:11-14, 2 Tim. 2:12,13.
