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

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...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. My Spirit Will Follow You To Do My Work.  Sunday 16th November  Text: Acts 16: 9-10 Key verse: Mark 16: 20 “And they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word with signs following, Amen.” Continuation of revelation of Brother Dieudonne:  The Lord said, “I am here to gather My people before the trumpet sounds. My Father will order the angels to sound the trumpet. Be ready! Do My work. Gather My people.” When He said that, He insisted and said, “I am gathering My people with My Spirit. When My Spirit enters, if you obey My word, My Spirit will follow you to do My work. People will listen to you and follow you. They are My chosen. If they listen to My word and reject it, let them go. Evangelize, preach My word to everybody, I am here gathering My people before My coming. If the time was not finished, would the animals have come to Noah? The time is...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
