What if you received your paycheck and 40% of what you expected is just simply missing. You approach the boss and or payroll dept. and they explain to you that “they don’t believe you needed it” so they left it out. You reaction would be “Oh well, that’s ok, we’ll make due with the 60% we did get…………… NOT!!!!!!!!!!! The Word of God states in Ephesians 4 that God gave 5 gifts (in the form of men & women) to the church. 1. Apostle, 2. Prophet, 3. Evangelist, 4. Pastor & 5. Teacher. However, there’s a segment of the church of Jesus that has decided that we don’t need the Apostle and Prophet any longer. Some believe that 40% of God’s gift is no longer necessary, viable, important and in some cases unscriptural. A segment of the modern church holds that we should just “make due” with the remaining 60%. Why should we live with 60% of HIS gifts when WE NEED 100% of what God has given us, His Bride??!! “Let’s just make due without these two gifts from the Lord…………..” NOT!!!

I was just thinking, that what about those christians who only give 40% of themselves to God and they think that it is okay with God…I say…NOT!! God desires our all, 100%, we should be giving Him 100% of our time, talents, financies, problem…etc. Thanks for this awesome blog, got me to thinking……
