TAKING CARE OF GOD’s RESOURCES.  THURSDAY NOVEMBER 9
TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 8:16-21                                                                                   
Key verse: “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” Proverb 4:7.
The following are the responsibilities the leaders of the church have over the finances and property of the church. (a) Teach the members on Christian giving so they may know what God expects them to do as faithful Christians. Let opportunity be created for them to give in demonstration of their love for God and the brethren,  (b) Take care of church money and property to avoid wastages, losses, unnecessary damage, etc. Wisdom must be employed in the use of church fund and property. Those to be appointed to manage church money and property must be men and women that hate covetousness, trusted and proven. There should be good accountability and record keeping, where required. Ministers are stewards over the money and property of the church of God and will give account to Him. Truth, righteousness, and holiness should characterize every transaction with church fund and property.(c) Diligence must be exercised over church money and property that they be not stolen, embezzled, misappropriated, or personalized. The name of the Lord is in His money and property. Careful consideration must be taken before taking a loan for church use so as not to bring the church of God under bondage to creditors. To treat church money and property carelessly or embezzle them shows one has no fear of God. Such a person will suffer God's judgment. Do not impoverish the people of God through excessive demands on giving. God wants His people to have food to eat, clothes to wear, and house to live in. Believers who cannot feed their family are worse than unbelievers before God. Hence it is a sin for any minister to over burden the people of God with financial demands to the point that they cannot care for themselves, provide for their family, and acquire the necessities of life. The reasons for these excessive financial demands include financial mismanagement, uncontrolled passion for gospel progress, multiplied programs and projects, covetousness in ministers, competition with other churches, pursuit after great name, worldliness in ministers, etc. The people of God should not become preys to their ministers. Their souls should not be destroyed for the purpose of material and ministerial achievement. (d) The church must endeavor to pay her workers well and timely. God is a righteous God and will want justice to be done to everyone working in the church, from the greatest to the least.
Thought for the day: Steal not from Church to the blasphemy of the name of Christ and be in danger.
Song for the day: Make me perfect (3X) O Lord.

Bible Reading for the day: Jeremiah 51-52; Hebrews 6

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
