TOPIC: FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF DAVID IN GENEROUS GIVING
TEXT:1 Chronicles 29:1-9
KEY VERSE: 2Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

In today’s reading text, we see the way people love the Lord. You can see how people with original heart spend their money and use their material resources for God. They seemed to be competing or outdoing one another in giving for the cause of the gospel work. This is fantastic! They were all bringing materials and contributing generously towards the building of God’s house. They were all eager to build a befitting temple for the Lord their God. David was the leader and the man that came with the vision. He must lead by example. Brother, you are the leader, you must lead by example in prayer life, in evangelism life, in your charity, in your giving for the gospel work, in your zeal for the service of the Lord, in your preaching, even in your home you must lay good example. Lay example so that others may follow. Show people how much you can give for Jesus. You must go beyond all these five, ten Naira people are bringing for offering. Go beyond it as long as you have the power. Show that you can give God more than that.

I was in a church service and it was time for offering. I observed affluent members who came in exotic cars dropping small denominations of Naira notes. Something like twenty, fifty Naira. I was observing as they dropped their money in the offering basket. The highest offering was 200 hundred naira. Now, I am talking about a congregation of about a thousand. I can’t remember how much I dropped but I know I could have dropped between 500 naira and 2,000 naira. But most certainly, I gave more than the richest man in that church and I was a visitor! Brother, sister, don’t limit yourself in giving. Others may not have understood the calling, they may not have provocation of love for God, but you that know should set an example for them. Be like the widow that dropped the two pence. When people see you do what is right and that honours God, they will follow your footstep. This way, you are teaching them righteousness. You are teaching them how to love God. Know that the hand of the giver is always on top. You are accumulating great reward for yourself. Amen.

Thought for the day: The hand of the giver is always on top
Song for the day: The Lord loveth a cheerful giver……
Bible reading for the day: Exodus 13-15; Matthew 19:1-15

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will.

Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
