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

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
