BE CAREFUL IN COMMITTING YOURSELF TO PLEDGING MONDAY FEBRUARY 6
TEXT: ECCLESIASTES 5:1-6
Key verse: “Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about Him bring presents unto Him that ought to be feared” Psalms 76:11.
Do not make vow or pledge in a rush; ponder well before doing so. Do not commit yourself to pledging an amount which you have no ability or opportunity to redeem. Do not specify a time limit which you are uncertain of. Do not submit to force or pressure to make a vow or pledge. Firmly resist vowing if you are not willing or convinced to do so. When you make a vow or pledge ensure that you redeem it, because it is a sin to vow and not redeem it. If it is applicable, let an “If” be in your promise, as, “I will give this or do this if…” 2 Corinthians 8:12-13, For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened .In case of some accidents of life you are sincerely incapable of redeeming your vow or pledge contact the church for their consideration and Spirit guided decision.
Apostle Paul lamented because of these preachers that misrepresent God. (Philippians 3:17-19). His free offer of salvation and blessings through Christ are made “for sale” by these preachers. Jesus declared that He came to preach the gospel to the poor. But these preachers deprive the poor of Christ’s gospel because they have no money to buy it. Unfortunately the poor do not have money and so cannot benefit from Him. Certainly they are not of God, but of the devil. Many of them use demonic power to heal the sick and do their commercial miracles. They specialize on the use of handkerchiefs, anointing oil, holy water and other physical substances. The salvation, healing, deliverance, miracles and all blessings of God are free and cannot be bought with your money. It is a sin in the sight of God to offer money for them, Acts 8:20. Seek the salvation and blessing of God through genuine repentance, righteous and holy living, faith on the promises of God and on the name of Jesus, restitution of past wrongs, praying together with righteous brethren, receiving prayers from true men and women of God.
Thought for the day: They do as if the God they present to people can only be pleased with money.
Song for the day: Oh Lord I am very very grateful, for all You have done for me…
Bible reading for the day:
Exodus 39-40 Matthew 24:1-22
