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

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...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
