Dear friend, I pray that you may prosper in every way and be in good health physically just as you are spiritually.

~ 3 John 1:2

The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.

~ Proverbs 11:25

Dear friend, I pray that you may prosper in every way and be in good health physically just as you are spiritually.

~ 3 John 1:2

How I praise the Lord that you are concerned about me again. I know you have always been concerned for me, but you didn’t have the chance to help me. 11 Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have.

~ Philippians 4:10-11

1. Be Content I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything.

I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.

~ Philippians 4:12

2. God’s favor is not always seen thru abundance or lack

For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

~ Philippians 4:10-11

3. Paul was talking about himself

Even so, you have done well to share with me in my present difficulty. 15 As you know, you Philippians were the only ones who gave me financial help when I first brought you the Good News and then traveled on from Macedonia. No other church did this. 16 Even when I was in Thessalonica you sent help more than once. 17 I don’t say this because I want a gift from you. Rather, I want you to receive a reward for your kindness.

~ Philippians 4:14-17

4. The giver gets the reward

At the moment I have all I need—and more! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me with Epaphroditus. They are a sweet-smelling sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to God.

~ Philippians 4:18

5. God is pleased when we generously support ministry

And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.

~ Philippians 4:19

God takes care of all the financial needs of those who generously support ministry.
