The Appropriate Place To Give For God’s Work 

Friday 23rd May

Text: Matthew 7:13-14
Key Verse: If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land. Isaiah 1:19.
If you are a child of God, you are sorrowful for the doom hanging over sinners around you and the world, you are grieved over the state of the Church today, backslidden and lukewarm, you long for the revival of true Christianity in your community and in the world, you desire to support the fires of End Time revival of the true gospel of Christ Jesus with your money and material resources, then it is essential you know where to invest your resources in order to realize your desire. The types of churches and ministries today are presented in the following scriptures: 
(i) The Broad And The Narrow Way: The two ways stated in the scripture above represents the two kinds of churches and ministries in the world today. You may be in one of these churches yourself as Lot was in Sodom, but Lot would not pay his tithes in Sodom. Every investment done in Sodom-like churches and ministries shall be destroyed by fire. Few churches and ministries are in the narrow way to heaven; be a narrow way financier.
(ii)  Bad and Good Ground Churches and Ministries: The following scriptures reveal four types of ground that receive the seed of God’s Word. Three are bad grounds and only one is good ground; Matthew 13: 3-9. The Lord gave the characteristic of each ground as follows: 
(a) The way-side churches; Matthew 13:19: The men who receive tithes and offering in the way-side church do not have the spiritual understanding on their use for God’s                                                                                                                       stony-heart churches; Matthew 13:20-21: This kind of churches or ministries carry out some activities or projects that have no root, continuity, sincerity, holiness and salvation of members.
(iii) Thorny-churches; Matthew 13:22:  These churches love the world and riches. They spend money on cathedrals, ceremonies, flamboyant attires and travelling round the world for sight-seeing.
(iv) The Good Ground Churches; Matthew 13:23: These kinds have understanding of God, they are faithful stewards of Christ, who put His resources to judicious use. Scatter or concentrate your resources among them as the Lord leads you.
Though for the day: Sow on good ground for bountiful harvest
Song For The Day: We give all our thanks to the Lord
Bible Reading For The Day: Nehemiah 8-10

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...
