LET NOT YOUR GIVING BE 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 utterance 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

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. 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...
