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

FREEWILL OFFERING 
TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 16:1-12.
🔑KEY VERSE "And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee" (DEUTERONOMY 16:10).

Some years ago, some of the world's wealthy people decided on an unusual campaign headed by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. These two men ranked among the richest people in the world and were pushing to get other world's super rich to donate a good part of their wealth to tackle social, political and economic challenges in the world. They had given and we're still committed to giving more through their foundations in support of some worthy projects around the world. Commendably, over 50 billionaires and multi-millionaires have joined their mega-giving wagon. The big givers' details can be found in the World's Top Givers' list which is reviewed annually.



The commemoration of the deliverance from Egyptian bondage, the ordinance of Passover was instituted and was to be observed by Israel in the month of Abib. The ceremony was to be for seven days of eating unleavened bread with no leftover or flesh and to be observed at the place specifically chosen by the Lord. Israel was also to observe the feast of the weeks seven weeks from the harvest of corn. At this feast, they were to give a tribute of freewill offering to the Lord according as He had blessed them.

God is still interested in our giving, especially for the furtherance of the gospel and the expansion of His kingdom on earth. Our attitude in giving is also very important. The greatest of our offering does not consist in the value of the money but the sincerity and sacrifice that goes with it. Giving should be done with a cheerful and willing heart, not by compulsion.

As believers, we are to give our resources, time and talents with clear motive and right attitude to the Lord. Our giving should also be in proportion to our earnings and according as the Lord has blessed us, just like the billionaire givers.

✍THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 
Cheerful giving attracts God's abundant blessings.

COVER TO COVER 
2 SAMUEL 3-5.


HYMN 
O what a wonderful day

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...
