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

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
