Where Are We Going to Get $10 a Month?
I’ll never forget the first time I stepped out by faith on those verses. It was back when I first began working for Brother Oral Roberts. He’d hired me to be the co-pilot on his ministry plane. During the first partner service I attended, he taught seed faith and the power of becoming a financial partner with the ministry.
s I listened to him, the revelation of it hit me, and I found myself wanting to become a partner with Brother Roberts’ ministry so badly I could hardly stand it. But I didn’t have any money! By the end of the service when offering time came, I was so determined to get in on it I was ready to tear a button off my shirt, just so I’d have something to give.
When the ushers handed out the envelopes, however, they gave us each a stubby little pencil, and I realized I could give the pencil. “LORD,” I said, “this is the only seed I have. It represents a $10 monthly commitment, and as soon as I get $10 I’ll give it into this ministry.” Then, I sealed the pencil into the envelope and dropped it into the container.
As soon as the service was over, I headed out in a hurry. I was driving Brother Roberts’ car and I didn’t want him to have to wait for me. Before I got to the door, though, I heard a lady holler. “Hey, you!”
“Me?” I said.
“Yes, you! The LORD told me to give you $10.”
Heart leaping, I took the money, thanked her, and waved down the usher. He gave me back my envelope, I took out the pencil and replaced it with the $10. “Praise God!” I said. “I can hardly wait to tell Gloria we’ve become partners with Oral Roberts for $10 a month!”
Of course, Gloria hadn’t heard the message I’d heard, so she initially just looked at me in astonishment. “Ten dollars a month?” she said. “Where are we ever going to get $10 a month?”
