TOPIC: DO NOT BRING POLLUTED GIFTS TO THE ALTAR OF GOD
TEXT: Malachi 1:13-14
KEY VERSE: Leviticus 22:20 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

God is holy. The Bible says without holiness we cannot see Him. True worshippers of God are to do so in absolute holiness and this includes bringing gifts to His altar in tithe, offering and special donations. The money and material gifts brought to God as offering must not be stolen property. They must not be the gains of lies and deceit. They must not be the gains of treachery and human oppression. They must not be proceeds of embezzlement, robbery, fraud or harlotry.  Such money is dirty in the sight of God and an abomination to Him. To bring such money to God either in tithe or offering is to attempt to make God an accomplice of your evil deeds, which is impossible. A holy God cannot be a partaker of evil. What God needs from the sinner is repentance and not using gift to court the favour and approval of God. With men, offering such filthy lucre may attract commendation and praise. Some people use stolen money to build cathedral and make huge donation to the church to the admiration and applause church leadership and they are celebrated as benefactors of the church and promoters of the gospel of Christ. What a fallacy!

Malachi 1:6-8, “A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible. And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.”

Fear God! Respect God! Honour God! Be clean and holy and let your gifts also be clean and holy, befitting the holy God. 

Thought for the day: Sinner, repent! You cannot buy God’s conscience with your gift.
Song for the day: I am coming to the cross
Bible reading for the day:
2 Kings 6-8; John 4:31-54

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...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
