Responsibilities Of Ministers Over The Church's Resources (1)

Monday 9th June

Text: 1 Corinthians 
Key verse: For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Matthew 16: 26
The following are the responsibilities the leaders of the church have over the finances and property of the church. 
a: Teach the members on Christian giving, so they may know what God expects them to do as faithful Christians. Create opportunity for them to give in demonstration of their love for God and the brethren, Exodus 18:20; Matthew 28:19, 20. 
b: Take care of church money and property, to avoid wastages, losses, unnecessary damage, etc. Wisdom must be employed in the use of church fund and property. Those to be appointed to manage church money and property must be men and women that hate covetousness, trusted and proven. There should be good accountability and record keeping, where required. Ministers are stewards over the money and property of the church of God and will give account to Him. Truth, righteousness, and holiness should characterize every transaction with church fund and property, Exodus 18:21; 1 Corinthians 4:1, 2; 2 Kings 22: 4-7; 2 Corinthians 8:18-22. Diligence must be exercised over church money and property that they be not stolen, embezzled, misappropriated, or personalized. The name of the Lord is in His money and property. Careful consideration must be taken before taking a loan for church use, so as not to bring the church of God under bondage to creditors. To treat church money and property carelessly or embezzle them, shows one has no fear of God. Such a person will suffer God's judgment, 1 Samuel 2:12-17. 
c: The minister should bless the people who are faithful and pray that God would be faithful to them and bless them according to His promises. When the minister acknowledges the faithfulness of the people and the people see the blessings of God upon their lives, they will be encouraged to do more for God and for their fellow men, Numbers 6:22-27; Philippians 4:15-20; Philemon 3-7.  
Thought For The Day: The minister should employ godly wisdom in securing funds for church use.
Song For The Day: Something more than gold
Bible Reading For The Day: Psalms 22-27

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
