QUALITIES OF ACCEPTABLE GIVERS.

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED. 

DATE: SATURDAY 20 MARCH

TOPIC: QUALITIES OF ACCEPTABLE GIVERS  

TEXT: 1 Chronicles 29:9-17

KEY VERSE: Exodus 35:21 And they came, everyone whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD'S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and the holy garments.

In Exodus 25:1-8, we see how God through Moses made a call to those who desired His grace and glory among men to give willingly for the construction of the tabernacle and the materials of it. Christ-like givers of the Old Testament responded joyfully and gave joyfully and bountifully for the building of the tabernacle that the Lord might dwell among them for His glory and the blessing of humanity. 

God still gives divine calling today to men and women who desire His glory, righteousness, and holiness in the church and human society around them to give of their money, material resources, and service for His service and to support His faithful servants. Again, in today’s devotional text, David desired to build a temple for the worship of Jehovah God and he prepared various kinds of precious materials for the work. He motivated his people to give freely and willingly for the building of a magnificent temple unto the Lord their God. What looks remarkable here is how David and His people gave unto the Lord. There are many things to observe in this passage. But let us consider how these people gave unto the Lord:

They gave willingly: none felt coerced or cheated by what he gave.
They gave with a perfect heart: they were in the right relationship with God and their fellowmen.
They gave joyfully, counting it a privilege to give to the Lord, being righteous and acceptable to Him.
They gave humbly, acknowledging that what they were giving to God came from Him
They gave in praise to God for the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty of God: for all that is in the heaven and the earth is His.
They gave purposefully, for the building of the magnificent temple of God.
They gave in hope of eternal life with God, counting themselves as strangers in this world.

These remain the qualities of acceptable givers before God. Those who desire to give for the course of God must endeavor to cultivate these qualities to make their service rewarding in time and eternity.

Thought for the day: Give to God in a rewardable manner.
Song for the day: We bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord….
Bible reading for the day: Joshua 1-3; 
Luke 1:57-80  #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...
