TOPIC: PRINCIPLES OF TITHING AND GOSPEL SUPPORT FOR THE BELIEVER
TEXT: Ephesians 4:3-6
KEY VERSE: Zephaniah 3:9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.

The belief that tithes must be paid to your local church or denomination is a tradition of men and not according to the word of God. This is responsible today for the gospel setbacks and the many rich Laodicean churches that glory in their material wealth but are unaware of their spiritual nakedness. The following should guide a believer on giving of tithes and material support for the work of the Lord.
i. As you see the Lord Jesus as one Lord over the church, also see the true churches and ministries in the body of Christ as one, notwithstanding their different names and titles.
ii. Aim at the overall success of the church of Christ in the Great Commission given by the Lord.
iii. See that you and your resources belong to the Lord and not to a man of God or a church, whatever role that man of God or church may be playing in your life.
iv. Understand that Jesus is the source of all wealth and you are only a custodian of His money and material resources, so only He reserves the right to direct His resources in your hand to where He desires for His work and the glory of His Name.
v. Ensure that you seek His consent at all times on where to pay your tithes and give material support. Do not seek to impress or satisfy a man or a church with your material resources, but God.
vi. Know that the Lord can assign you or your resources to the support of a church, a ministry or a particular man of God according to His will. Ensure that you confirm such special guidance from Him.
vii. Know that it is not the will of God that your resources be used to support ungodly works and workers or be wasted.
viii. Know that God can lead you to share your tithes among a number of churches, ministries or ministers according to His will.
ix. As you freely release your money and material resources to serve God in other churches and ministries, God will use the members of other churches to serve His purpose in your church that there may be equality if your church and ministers are true and obedient ones.
x. If you refuse to submit your resources to the will of God, the gospel of Christ will suffer and you will be accountable to God for that.

Prayerfully, wisely and firmly avoid unscriptural traditions on tithing. Mind not the persecutions you may suffer because of this scriptural stand. God is with you!

Thought for the day: There is no discrimination in the Body of Christ.
Song for the day: I don’t care what church you belong to …
Bible reading for the day:
Genesis 46-48; Matthew 14:22-36

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...

TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2)

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. DATE: FRIDAY JULY 17, 2026. TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2) TEXT: HEBREWS 11:1-6 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligent...
