Anyone who claims to be called of God, should primarily look up to God for the meeting of his needs and be faithful to the assignment. The servant of God should learn the secret of how to abase and abound, depending fully on God's outworking for sustenance.
A minister must never be seen to have a sense of entitlement. A minister with such mentality puts himself at the mercy of the frail and fleeting whim of humans and not the satisfying grace of the all-sufficient God.
It is only God who can genuinely steer the hearts of men to give. And when God does it, it's not the meager handouts that usually come from reluctant hearts and tightfisted hands, but substantial resources from His riches in glory.
The One who calls you is faithful, and he will do it (1 Thess 5:24).
