It is advisable that you prayerfully and meditatively read the text first

FAITHFULNESS IN SERVICE 
TEXT: 2 KINGS 12:1-16.
🔑KEY VERSE 
"Moreover they reckoned not with the wise men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully" (2 KINGS 12:15).

Franklin Roosevelt's closet adviser during much of his presidency was a man named Harry Hopkins. During World War II, when his influence with Roosevelt was at its peak, Hopkins held no official cabinet position; however, his closeness to Roosevelt caused many to regard him as a shadowy, sinister figure. When asked by a political foe why he kept Hopkins close to him, Roosevelt replied, "Someday you may well be sitting here where I am now as President of United States. and when you'll be looking at that door over there and knowing that practically everybody who walks through it wants something out of you, you will learn what a lonely job this is, and who discover the need for somebody like Harry Hopkins, who asks for nothing except to serve you." The sole source of Hopkins' power was his willingness to serve.



On assuming the throne, Josiah wanted to ensure all the money of the dedicated things brought by the people were used to maintain the temple. The men who were appointed by him to be in charge of the collection meant for the repair of the temple were faithful and dependable men. They utilised the funds for its purpose without any accusation of embezzlement or misappropriation.

Today, it is rare to find people who are dependable and trustworthy. There have been reports of corruption, embezzlement of state funds, which is meant for the survival of then masses. Worse still, so-called 'Christian' officials have been found culpable of these vices.

The Lord expects faithfulness from us, and like the workmen placed over the task in our text, we should deal faithfully and selflessly when involved in public service.

✍THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 
Service without faithfulness has no reward.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR 
PHILIPPIANS 1-4.

HYMN 
To the work, to the work

Heart Not Garment - 2

By Date -
"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

The True Picture Of The Church Today II

By Date -
THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: Sunday 7th, June 2020. TOPIC: The True Picture Of The Church Today II TEXT: Rev. 3:15  MESSAGE "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot".Vs 15, so then because thou art lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Lukewarmness and indifference in religion is the worst tempter in the world. The husband of a lukewarm wife is always confused as he would not know when and how to please the wife. So are members of the church whose heart cannot be determined. They are between two opinions. We also have these in the church because they are high minded and proud, they have unknowingly overlooked the necessity of their souls as they gorgeously dressed up in Costly apparel at the expense and decay of their souls, making them to be wretched poor and miserable.  Also there is the state of blindness which the devil is using against the church today which has made them very weak and defensele...
