Funding the Prayer Movement
Tuesday, May 27, 2008

Greetings All!

I have been stirred this past week by king David. What an amazing man. He was known to step boldly into priestly functions, yet was not of the sons of Aaron. He was also an amazing "apostolic" leader in his day!

This man carried such a zeal for the presence and power of God that he financed 4,000 singers and 288 musicians to stand before God's presence and commemorate, thank and praise Him. Scripture tells us that this was a full time occupation. David payed these men and women a full time salary to play their instruments and sing their songs.

I did a little math and tried to be conservative. In today's economy they may have been payed 30,000.00 per year (although it was probably more, they were highly trained). If you multiply 4,288 people by $30,000 per year,David was paying $128,640,000 dollars a year to keep these men and women at their post.

As strange a strategy for success as it may seem...it certainly worked for king David. Then again, tithing is a strange principle to a carnal mind. How can it be that 90% of our finances can do more than 100%?

We are believing God, not only for the financial provision to build a night and day prayer ministry here in Reading, but also plant other prayer ministries here and abroad!

Lets believe God for earthly kings in our region who will burn with zeal for the presence and power of God, like David. And like David, that they will make the worship and prayer ministry one of their top priorities!
