Principles of Rewardable Christian Giving  

Tuesday 21st October 

Text: 2 Samuel 6: 10-12
Key verse: Exodus 25: 2 “Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring m=Me an offering, of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take My offering.”
The righteous God is a rewarder of righteous works. Biblical principles must be followed for what is given to God to be accepted and rewarded by Him. God will not recognize or bless the gifts that come from sinful principles or from sinners. Ministers of the gospel must have a just cause to raise offering and must do so in a scriptural way. The people who give to God or fellowmen must do so out of a true and clean motive. Without compliance to God's righteous principles our gift is an abomination to God. No minister has the power to confer divine blessing on an impure gift or impure giver. The following are the principles of rewarding Christian giving. 
A. The giver must be a child of God committed to holy living, 2 Corinthians 8:5; Romans 12:1, 2. True Christian ministers do not solicit for fund from unbelievers for gospel work, 3 John 5-8, Ezra 4:1-3. B. The giver must give to God and to his fellowmen willingly and cheerfully. God loves a cheerful giver, Exodus 25:1, 2; 2 Corinthians 9:7. The people of God must not be tricked into giving; they must not be made to go into grumbling and bitterness due to exaction and force. If this happens, they have no reward for what they give and the one who collects such exaction in the name of the Lord is sinning. Such money cannot bear spiritual fruits.
C: The program or project requiring money must be inspired by God. God will not bless people who contribute money for programs or projects of strife and vain glory, Philippians 2:3; Daniel 4:28-32. D: Love must be the basis of all Christian giving, 1Corinthians 13:3. e: The giving should be done in obedience and faith, according to scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Hebrews 11:1, 2. F: The giving should be accompanied by prayer for divine blessing, Deuteronomy 26:12-15. G: The giver must wait patiently for the Lord to reward his faithfulness in ways the Lord chooses, James 5:7-11; Hebrews 10:25-39.

Thought for the day: The giver must be a child of God committed to holy living 

Song for the day: Give, it shall be given unto you…

Bible reading for the day: Luke 1-2

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...
