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

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...

The Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
