"denial and economy, that they may come behind in no good gift. We are pilgrims and strangers, seeking a better country, and every soul should make a covenant with God by sacrifice. The time for saving souls is short, and whatever is not needed in supplying positive necessities, should be brought as a thank-offering to God. GW 454.1 And it is the duty of those who labor in word and doctrine to show an equal self-sacrifice. A solemn responsibility rests upon those who receive the liberal donations of the church, and administer the means in God's treasury. They are to study carefully the providences of God, that they may discern where there is the greatest necessity. They are to be co-laborers with Christ in establishing His kingdom on the earth, in harmony with the prayer of the Saviour, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” [ Matthew 6:10 .] GW 454.2"
"Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."
Ellen White directly references Matthew 6:10 in this passage.
"These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth."
EGW uses the phrase 'pilgrims and strangers, seeking a better country,' which is a clear allusion to Hebrews 11:13, where the same concept is expressed.
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."
Both passages discuss sacrifice and offering to God. Romans 12:1 calls for presenting bodies as a living sacrifice, while EGW speaks of making a covenant with God by sacrifice and bringing thank-offerings. The theme of sacrifice is central to both, though the specific applications differ.
"The work all over the world is to receive consideration. New fields are to be entered. Let our brethren remember that much means and much hard labor are required to carry forward the work in new fields. GW 454.3 In planning for the cause in foreign countries, the difficulties to be met there are to be considered, and willing support must be given to the workers. Those at the heart of the cause are to examine closely into the needs of the different fields; for they are God's stewards, set for the extension of the truth in all parts of the world. They are inexcusable if they remain in ignorance regarding the needs of the work. They are to know the advantages and difficulties of each field, and then with a spirit of unselfish interest they are to work for the advancement of the cause as a whole. GW 454.4"
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
Both passages emphasize spreading the gospel to all nations. The EGW passage directly applies the principle of Matthew 28:19-20 to the specific context of allocating resources for mission work.
"Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful."
The EGW passage explicitly mentions that those allocating resources are 'God's stewards,' directly echoing the concept of stewardship and faithfulness found in 1 Corinthians 4:2.
