Not OUR church or ministry, it is God’s

It is not our church or ministry, it is God’s. The money in the church treasury does not belong to the pastor or the treasure. It does not belong to one person. It belongs to the movement of God. The resources of the church does not belong to the individuals by which they are assigned to. The pastor is God’s shepherd whom He uses to lead, feed, and guide the flock. The pastor does not own the church. Workers of the Lord need to recognize that everything they have to work with belongs to the Lord. Donations that are given are prompted by the Lord in order to fund His mission.

The “chambers of the house of the Lord” were rooms around the edges of parts of the temple area used both for administration and storage and for the priests’ personal convenience.
