Give Up to Go Up! | Voice of God with Joseph Z

<p>Today, Joseph Z shows how true abundance comes from giving generously for the sake of Christ, and how sacrificial giving for the gospel can yield a hundredfold return.</p> <p>Joseph explains that the principle of "giving up to go up" is key to achieving a hundredfold increase, as shown in Mark 10:30. In this verse, Christ promises that anyone who sacrifices their most valued possessions for His sake and the gospel will not go empty-handed; instead, they will receive a hundredfold in return for their sacrifices. He clarifies that sacrificial giving for the sake of the gospel is an act of worship and can yield some of the highest returns. </p> <p>Learn more about Z Ministries by following the link below: <br /> https://linktr.ee/zministries </p> <p>He also discusses what to do when our returns don't come as quickly as we expect. He stresses the importance of standing firm on God's word and not losing faith. He points out that human wisdom can fail, but God's word remains constant. He suggests that facing persecution sometimes indicates we are on the right path. Joseph encourages us to think about the larger body of Christ and how we can use our gifts to serve others.</p> <p>Additionally, Joseph reveals that the only thing holding us back in life is our mindset. We need to take a leap of faith through giving to unlock the greater potential of what God has called us to do. He reminds us of our role as Christ's disciples, which includes spreading the gospel around the world. We do this by fulfilling our part. He emphasizes that receiving abundance isn't about accumulating for ourselves but about giving all we have for Christ and the gospel.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US">August 14, 2025</span></p>
