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

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...
