Genesis 12:2 (NIV)2 ”I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a

blessing.”

Acts 20:35 (NIV)35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering

the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'

Philippians 4:10-23 (NIV)

10 I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because am in

need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether

living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do everything trough Him who gives me strength. 14 Yet it was good of you to share in my

troubles. 15 Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from

Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;

16 for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid again and again when I was in need. 17 Not that I am looking for a

gift, but I am looking for what may be credited to your account. 18 I have received full payment and even more; I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable

sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19 And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. 20 To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 21 Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send greetings. 22 All the saints send you greetings, especially those

who belong to Caesar's household. 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
