APOSTOLIC PRINCIPLES LEARNED

Apostle Funds:

1. Paul ministered to the needs of his traveling companions.

   1. Acts 20:34 “Ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.”

   2. Practical application: An apostle servant can be a tent maker and use these funds and other funds made available to him to help defray the expenses of his traveling companions.

2. Those workers who labor in the word and teaching should receive double honor.

   1. I Timothy 5:17-18 “Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labor in the word and doctrine. For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not, muzzle the ox that treadest out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his reward.”

   2. Practical application: When one apostle servant teaches all the sessions then that worker could receive all the funds as needed.

3. Practical application: Consider equally dividing funds as all workers minister proportionately in the word and teaching, i.e., if three workers teach two sessions each then funds could be equally divided among them.

4. Practical application: Give deference to the needs of each apostle worker at the time of the dividing of funds.

5. Practical application: Maintain a common bag/purse of limited funds for the needs of traveling apostle servant’s, i.e. food, lodging, gasoline, etc.
