Principles of Rewardable Christian Giving  

Tuesday 4th March

Text: Romans 12: 1-2
Key verse: And this they did not as we hoped but first gave their own selves to the Lord and unto us by the will of God. 2 Corinthians 8: 5
God is a rewarder of righteous works. Biblical principles must be followed for what is given to God, to be accepted and rewarded by Him. God will not recognize or bless the gifts that come from sinful principles or from sinners. Ministers of the gospel must have a just cause to raise offering, and must do so in a scriptural way. The people who give to God or fellowmen must do so out of a true and clean motive. Without compliance to God's righteous principles, our gift is an abomination to God. No minister has the power to confer divine blessing on an impure gift or impure giver. The following are the principles of rewarding Christian giving. 
a: The giver must be a child of God committed to holy living, 2 Corinthians 8:5; Romans 12:1, 2. True Christian ministers do not solicit for fund from unbelievers for gospel work, 3 John 5-8, Ezra 4:1-3. 
b: The giver must give to God and to his fellowmen willingly and cheerfully. God loves a cheerful giver, Exodus 25:1, 2; 2 Corinthians 9:7. The people of God must not be tricked into giving; they must not be made to grumble and bitterness due to exaction and force. If this happens, they have no reward for what they give and the one who collects such exaction in the name of the Lord is sinning. Such money cannot bear spiritual fruits, Matthew 7:16- 18. 
c: The program or project requiring money must be inspired by God. God will not bless people who contribute money for programs or projects of strife and vain glory, Philippians 2:3; Daniel 4:28-32. 
d: Love must be the basis of all Christian giving, 1 Corinthians 13:3. 
e: The giving should be done in obedience and faith, according to scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Hebrews 11:1, 2. 
f: The giving should be accompanied by prayer for divine blessing, Deuteronomy 26:12-15. 
g: The giver must wait patiently for the Lord to reward his faithfulness in ways the Lord chooses. James 5:7-11; Hebrews 10:25-39.
Thought For The Day: God will not bless people who give for projects of vain glory
Song For The Day: Give, it shall be given unto you, good measure shaken together…
Bible Reading For The Day: Deuteronomy 33-34

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. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
