Responsibilities Of Ministers Over The Church's Resources (2)

Tuesday 10 June

Text: Philippians 4:15-20 
Key verse: Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord but also in the sight of men. 2 Corinthians 8:21.
d: Do not impoverish God’s people through excessive demands on giving. God wants His people to have food to eat, clothes to wear and house to live in. Believers who cannot feed their family are worse than unbelievers before God. Hence, it is a sin for any minister to overburden the people of God with financial demands, to the point that they cannot care for their families with the necessities of life. Reasons for excessive financial demands include; financial mismanagement, uncontrolled passion for gospel progress, multiplied programs and projects, covetousness, competition with other churches, pursuit after great name, worldliness in ministers, etc. The people of God should not become preys to their ministers. Their souls should not be destroyed for the purpose of material and ministerial achievement. 
e: The church must endeavor to pay her workers well and timely. God is a righteous God and wants justice done to everyone working in the church, from the greatest to the least. The church which does not give good salary to her workers when the money is there, may not have faithful and true workers. Being unable to provide for their family, they are disqualified by God from acceptable Christian service. Some steal from church fund due to poverty. Others display various kinds of unfaithfulness. The church should not only be concerned for gospel progress but also for proper care of staff. The church must pay her bills and comply with scripturally acceptable government rules. Ministers of the gospel who seek ministerial growth, must ensure that all things are done well. Holiness and righteousness should follow their progress as their shadow; without this, all success and achievements are vanity and damnable. 
f: The minister must be an example in Christian giving. When David wanted his people to contribute for the building of the house of the Lord, he told them what he had given for the work from his personal resources. Others were challenged by his example and began to give willingly for the building of the Lord's house. 
Thought For The Day: The ministers should teach biblical principles of prosperity and encourage the members to be industrious. 
Song For The Day: Take my life and let it be, consecrated Lord to Thee…
Bible Reading For The Day: Psalms 28-33

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...
