DAMNABLE, BUT REWARDABLE

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.

Saturday 9th October 

LET NOT YOUR GIVING BE 

DAMNABLE, BUT REWARDABLE

TEXT:  MATTHEW 6:1-4 

Key verse: “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind 

let each esteem other better than themselves.” Philippians 2:3.

There are things to guard against in the ministry of giving for the work of God and for the welfare of the brethren. To maintain your righteousness and enjoy the rewards of Christian giving, the following should be observed:

· Guard against pride and high-mindedness in your life due to praise and  honour of men 

· Guard against rough and arrogant utterances due to pride.

· Guard against men giving you worship and undue praise due to the kindness they enjoy from you.

· Do not over-enrich a church or a man of God till they lose focus on God and begin to serve money.

· If you have much to give, remember other true churches and men of God. God wants them to enjoy His sufficient supply too.

· Make sure you do not remove the faith of the man of God from God to yourself and that you do not take over the control of the man of God or the church from God through your money. 

· Deal wisely and humbly in all situations.

· In wisdom, use diverse methods in ministering your gifts for the purpose of protecting yourself and others, giving all the glory to God.

· Pray always for God to give you sufficient grace and victory against Satan who always seeks to corrupt your service before God.

Some cases of Christian giving may require sufficient counsel before you embark on them. Seek godly counsel in such cases, that your good deed may not be misinterpreted. You may be poor or in need requiring help, do not put your trust in man or even in the good man that God uses to bless you. Put your trust in God. Let your heart stay with God. He is the one that uses man to do good. 

Thought for the day: Deal wisely and humbly in all situations  

Song for the day: Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord to Thee 

Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 41-42; Colossians 1

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
