TOPIC: SUPPORT EVANGELISM WITH YOUR MONEY AND MATERIAL RESOURCES

TEXT: Acts 4:32-37
32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things common.
33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

KEY VERSE: Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 

The great commission that Christ has given to all His disciples is to go and preach the gospel to every human being on earth, to make disciples of them, and to prepare them for eternal life through the ministry of the word of God.

The great commission requires the following:

i. To locate sinners and present to them a clear message of repentance from sin and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This is required to make the sinners turn from their idolatry, witchcraft, fornication, adultery, drunkenness, theft, hatred, etc. to the new life in Christ.
ii. To teach the disciples all the word of God so that they may grow and mature in the knowledge of God and of scriptural truths. In this way, they will enjoy the life of righteousness and holiness, have access to God, receive an answer to prayers, have the privilege of Christian service, experience victory over Satan and his temptations, and enjoy all spiritual blessings in Christ.
iii. The exercise of wisdom in soul winning and in the management of human and material resources for gospel success. He that will win souls of men to Christ and perfect them for eternal life must be wise. Wisdom is the principal thing required in human administration and coordination of effective means and methods to achieve the desired goal.

With the co-operation of Christ-like givers in the early church, the church got established and has flourished to this day. God did not drop money, foodstuff and other material provisions for the sustenance of the apostles and early believers from the sky. He used men and women who were willing and kind-hearted to supply the needs of the people of God. That helped to prolong the revival and mature the church which was newly formed then. 

Similarly, with the co-operation of Christ-like givers in this end time, we shall witness the greater conversion of souls to Christ and righteousness and holiness shall return to the church. May the Lord raise you to support and maintain this end-time revival that is preparing the church for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!

Thought for the day: The greatest investment is to support evangelism with your money and material resources.

Song for the day: Give, it shall be given unto you, good measure shaken together and running over.

Bible reading for the day: Numbers 18-20; Mark 7:1-13 #Horemow

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...

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...
