SUPPORT THE MINISTRY OF HOLY AND FAITHFUL PREACHERS WITH YOUR MONEY

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN.

THURSDAY 3RD MARCH

SUPPORT THE MINISTRY OF HOLY AND FAITHFUL PREACHERS WITH YOUR MONEY
TEXT: 3 John 1-8                                     
Key verse: Acts 4:34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them and brought the prices of the things that were sold. 
Gaius in our text was a well-beloved believer; generous and charitable. He was a lover of truth and righteousness; he walked in the truth; a holy and righteous man.  He did well to the brethren, and even to the people, he did not know. Believers in Christ testified to the truth of Gaius’ support to the brethren as the widows testified of the charity of Dorcas. Outside Jesus, your material resources will be stinking. When there was a need in the church in Jerusalem, God impressed on Barnabas to sell his land for the sake of the gospel. His action influenced others who did likewise. There are brethren that God sends on your way to support their ministry. Do so. Some of them for the sake of Christ’s gospel travel often, please help them. 
In apostolic days, gentiles were not involved in sponsoring their missionary journey.  It is unfortunate that our day's pastors are raising funds from sinners for crusade activities. Can you see why there is no impact in the life of the people we preach to?  They went forth taking nothing from the Gentiles (3 John 1:7).  That is where the difference is. When you are busy raising money from athletes, thieves and robbers, you are insulting the gospel. Therefore God cannot support you.  Peter rejected money from Simon the sorcerer because he was a filthy man. Therefore as a believer, be ready to support those who God has truly called into Christian ministry. Financial support should come from true and faithful Christians to ministers of the gospel. The Lord wants you to support them.
Christian giving is a divine commandment (Malachi 3: 8-10). Tithes bring sufficiency and abundance to the house of God. When God sees tithes in His storehouse, He will surely bless His people. When there was backsliding in Israel, the priests abandoned the work of God because they depend upon the entire Israel to live. Hezekiah stirred up revival in Israel and commanded them to start bringing the portion of God to Him. The people responded and abundance was realized. When the king came to the temple, the Priests were impressed because of the abundance they received from the people. Jesus in one of his meetings gathered crowd and at super time commanded that the people be fed. The Lord has made provision for the need of the gospel and the need of the preachers also. Know that there is always somebody present that will meet that need. That person can be you!
Thought for the day: Support holy preachers with your money
Song for the day: Give, it shall be given unto you, good measure……
Bible reading for the day: 
Numbers 30-31; Mark 9:30-50

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...
