TAKING CARE OF God's RESOURCES

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

TAKING CARE OF God's RESOURCES  
MAY Friday 21st
TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 8:16-21
Key verse: “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” Proverb 4:7.
The following are the responsibilities the leaders of the church have over the finances and property of the church. 
(a) Teach the members on Christian giving so they may know what God expects them to do as faithful Christians. Let opportunity be created for them to give in demonstration of their love for God and the brethren, 
(b) Take care of church money and property to avoid wastages and unnecessary damage. Employ wisdom in the use of church fund and property. 
(c) Those to be appointed to manage church money and property must be men and women that hate covetousness, trusted and proven. 
(d) There should be good accountability and record keeping, where required. Ministers are stewards over the money and property of the church of God and will give account to Him. 
(e) Truth, righteousness, and holiness should characterize every transaction with church fund and property.
(f) Diligence must be exercised over church money and property that they be not stolen, embezzled, misappropriated, or personalized. The name of the Lord is in His money and property. 
(g) Careful consideration must be taken before taking a loan for church use so as not to bring the church of God under bondage to creditors. To treat church money and property carelessly or embezzle them shows one has no fear of God. Such a person will suffer God's judgment. 
Do not impoverish the people of God through excessive demands on giving. God wants His people to have food to eat, clothes to wear, and house to live in. Believers who cannot feed their family are worse than unbelievers before God. Hence it is a sin for any minister to over burden the people of God with financial demands to the point that they cannot care for themselves, provide for their family, and acquire the necessities of life. 
Thought for the day: Do not impoverish God’s people through excessive demands on giving
Song for the day: Make me perfect (3X) O Lord.
Bible Reading for the day: 
1 Chronicles 3-5; John 8:1-20

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...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. 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. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
