I went to the East Coast Leader Retreat feeling like my bike tires were flat… and boy, did God show up and show out in a multitude of ways!
One day, we had a speaker share about tithing. Now, mind you, I had already tithed earlier that day. However, I felt disobedient because God was prompting me to give more, but I wrestled with Him. Truthfully, I wanted to use the money to buy souvenirs.
After the speaker spoke about how God owns the storefront, that all of our money belongs to Him, and how finances are the one area where God tells us to test Him, I felt deeply convicted. I ended up giving an additional $80.
And guess what?! Two days later, my coworker called and said, “Did you know the whole sales team is getting a work bonus?”
Not only that, but my week back at work after the retreat turned into one of the most fruitful weeks I’ve had. I’ve nearly doubled my quota for the week by coming from a place of rest rather than striving and staying connected to the living waters of Christ. In only two days of work, not even a full work week, I almost tripled my quota.
I will never doubt God when it comes to finances. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, and He is my provider and source.
