For taking your time to study remain blessed. BE RICH IN GOOD WORKS THURSDAY FEBRUARY 16 TEXT: JAMES 5:1-6 Key verse: “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 1Timothy 6:17-18. God is a defense for those that trust in Him. Money also poses to be a defense to the rich. Reject the defense offered by money and wealth which inspires pride, arrogance and contempt of the law. Trust in God makes you meek, careful, humble, gentle and righteous. Trust in God keeps you truly protected and peaceful. Money and riches are temporal. They can vanish anytime. To boast because of them is as one with a closed fist and boasts that he has enclosed much air in his hand. At any time he opens his hand he sees nothing. Trust in God when things are shaking, going down or going up. Trust Him to give you victory, wisdom, favour, open door and sound health, and protection. Those that trust in God will not be moved. Be rich in good works. Be merciful and compassionate towards the poor and needy. Let God guide you into fruitful giving. Help the poor, strengthen the weak and encourage the discouraged in life through your resources. Be generous to all men, especially those in Christ’s body. There are things to watch against in the ministry of giving for the work of God and for the welfare of brethren; Watch against pride and high-mindedness in your life due to praise and honour of men; watch against rough and arrogant utterance due to pride. Watch against men giving you worship and undue praise due to the kindness they enjoy from you. Do not over enrich a church or a man of God to thepoint they lose focus on God and serve money. If you have much to give, remember other true churches and men of God too. Make sure you do not remove the faith of the man of God from God to yourself and that you do not take over the control of the man of God or the church from God through your money. Deal wisely and humbly. Use various methods in ministering your gifts for the purpose of protecting yourself and the others and giving all the glory to God. Give publicly, give privately, give secretly, give directly, give indirectly, using someone else. Thought for the day: Trust in God makes you meek, careful, humble, gentle and righteous. Song for the day: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not thy own understanding… Bible reading for the day: Leviticus 22-23; Mark 1:1-22 #horemow. Like Like Love Haha Wow Sad Angry

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
