Acting on What I Believe

Randy Alcorn, author of The Treasure Principle, asks his readers to believe, affirm and sign the following covenant as an act of faith and worship, believing and trusting in God’s faithfulness and trustworthiness.  

1.        I affirm God’s full ownership of me and everything entrusted to me  

2.       I set aside the firstfruits—at least 10%-- of every wage and gift I receive as holy
    and belonging exclusively to the Lord.   If I’m not “there” yet, I will get there.  If I’m
    there, that’s only the beginning  

                "A tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain or fruit, is the Lord’s, and is
                 holy."      Leviticus 27:30 (TLB)  

3.       Out of the remaining treasures God entrusts to me, I seek to make generous
     freewill gifts.  

4.       I ask God to teach me to give sacrificially to His purposes, including helping the
     poor and reaching lost.  

5.       Recognizing that I cannot take earthly treasures from this world, I determine to
     lay them up as heavenly treasures – for Christ’s glory and eternal good of others
     and myself.   

6.       I ask God show me how to lead others to the present joy and future reward of the
    Treasure Principles.
