HANDLE GOD'S RESOURCES IN YOUR CUSTODY WITH UTMOST CARE

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


DATE: MONDAY 2nd AUGUST


TOPIC: HANDLE GOD'S RESOURCES IN  YOUR CUSTODY WITH UTMOST CARE


TEXT: 2 Corinthians 8:16-21 


Key verse: Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.


God's resources in your care must be handled with utmost care and diligence; otherwise, you may not be guiltless in His sight. The following are the responsibilities the leaders of the church have over the finances and property of the church. 


(a) Teach members on Christian giving that 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, losses, unnecessary damages etc. Wisdom must be employed in the use of church funds and property. 


Those to be appointed to manage church money and property must be men and women that hate covetousness; who are trusted and proven. There should be accountability and record keeping. 


Ministers are stewards over the money and property of the church of God and will give account to Him. Truth, righteousness and holiness should characterize every transaction with church funds and property. 


(c) Diligence must be exercised over church money and property that they may not be stolen, embezzled, misappropriated or personalized. The name of the Lord is on His money and property. 


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. 


(d) Do not impoverish the people of God through excessive demands. God wants His people to have food to eat, clothes to wear and a house to live in. 


Believers who cannot feed their families are worse than unbelievers before God. It is a sin for any minister to overburden 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.


 The people of God should not become prey to their ministers. Their souls should not be destroyed for material and ministerial achievement. 


(e) The church must endeavour to pay its workers well and timely. God is a righteous God and will want justice to be done to everyone working in the church, from the greatest to the least.


Thought for the day: Serve God with diligence and decency.


Song for the day: Make me holy (3x)


Bible reading for the day: 

Psalm 68-69; Romans 3. #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...

TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2)

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. DATE: FRIDAY JULY 17, 2026. TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2) TEXT: HEBREWS 11:1-6 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligent...
