For taking your time to study remain blessed.

TOPIC:  LET NOT YOUR GIVING BE CONDEMNABLE, BUT COMMENDABLE.  WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 13
TEXT:  MATTHEW 6:1-4
KEY VERSE: “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.” Philippians 2:3.

There are things to guard against in the ministry of giving for the work of God and for the welfare of the brethren. To maintain your righteousness and enjoy the rewards of Christian giving, the following should be observed.

·         Guard against pride and high-mindedness in your life due to praise and honour of men
·         Guard against rough and arrogant utterance due to pride.
·         Guard 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 till they lost focus on God and begin to serve money.
·         If you have much to give, remember other true churches and men of God. God wants them to enjoy His sufficient supply 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 in all situations.
·         In wisdom, use diverse methods in ministering your gifts for the purpose of protecting yourself and others, giving all the glory to God.
·         Pray always for God to give you sufficient grace and victory against Satan who always seeks to corrupt your service before God.

Some cases of Christian giving may require sufficient counsel before you embark on them. Seek godly counsel in such cases, that your good deed may not be misinterpreted.
You may be poor or in need requiring help, do not put your trust in man or even in the good man that God uses to bless you. Put your trust in God. Don't allow a man or woman to control you because of his or her money. Let your heart stay with God. He is the one that uses man to do good. Give Him the glory, but say, “Thank you” to the charitable man or woman.

Thought for the day:  Let your giving be with wisdom
Song for the day: Christian walk carefully

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 23-24; 2 Corinthians 5

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
