“But my God shall supply all your need
according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
PHILIPPIANS 4:19
This often claimed and quoted promise in Philippians 4:19 was linked to and based upon the generous sacrificial giving sent to Paul "once and again" by that faithful body of believers.
"Not because I desire a gift," says the apostle in verse 17,
"but I desire fruit that may abound to your account." The precious souls whose lives are touched by the Gospel are the fruit - not only of those who go forth bearing precious seed - but also of those who remain behind to hold the financial ropes.
