Give with a Cheerful Heart  

Wednesday 08 October 

Text: 1 Timothy 6: 17 - 19 
Key verse: John 14:14 “If ye shall ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
Offering is that which one gives to God during worship service, usually in cash, after the tithe has been removed. The amount given is not fixed as in tithe, but is based on what the worshipper has and is able to give willingly to God in material expression of thanksgiving, honour and worship. Offering during worship service is not restricted to cash. Whatever one is led to give in offering to God can be given, 
Giving to the poor and needy is an important commandment of the scripture. The poor are among us in the society and in the church. There are brethren who require help in one way or the other due to the situations of life in the world we live. These need to be supported. The rich in the church should give generously to support the poor and needy brethren. This is good in the sight of the Lord. The word of God encourages the church to provide for the poor, needy, widows and orphans.
The scripture enjoins believers to support the ministers of the gospel in material things. Sincere gospel ministers who have dedicated themselves for the work of the gospel ought to be financially and materially supported. Such support will help in personal and family needs and in the work of the ministry. 
Believers should see the church of God as one, although it is called by many denominational names. Those ministers who are sincere and true to this gospel, under whatever name they are called, should be fully supported. Hence believers, in as much as they have responsibility to care for the ministers of their denomination, should avail themselves to the Holy Spirit to direct God's resources in their hands to where they are required for the work of the Lord: 
All Christian giving stated above should be rooted in love, without which giving has no reward, 1 Corinthians 13:3. The scripture encourages believers to be charitable and kind to one another, to provoke one another to love and to good works. Giving to one another in love and purity is a service that provokes fellow believers to love and good works.

Thought for the day: Christian giving should be rooted in love to be rewarded. 

Song for the day: We bring the sacrifice of praise, into the house of the Lord

Bible reading for the day: Matthew 18-20

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...

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
