Our Responsibility Towards The Poor

MEDITATION

Our responsibility towards the poor

1. Is poverty the will/plan of God for some?
a. The perfect will of God is that there will be no poor people among is people v4. See the use of when.
b. The permissive reality is that there will always be poor people among the brethren v11.
c. Why do you think some believers perpetually remain poor when it is not the will/plan of God for them?
d. You have a choice to be poor or to be a giver to the poor.
2. Giving to the poor is a secret of prosperity
a. You should lend or empower the poor brethren to invest if it is within your power vv7,8.
b. Lend them what you will be willing to forego in case he sincerely do not have the ability to pay back vv2,3.
c. You should empower and follow up with the investment to make sure the brother/sister avoid running into a loss.
d. If all is done and there is still a bad debt, it should be written off with brotherly love vv2,3.
f. You may also decide to give charity especially as an immediate assistance in case of emergency.
g. Don't allow any excuse to giving charitably when it is within your power vv9,10.
f. The secret of prosperity is giving cheerfully and with faith. Giving is a seed or spiritual investment that yields abundantly vv4,6,10.
Q Should the poor give to the poor brethren too? 2 Corinthians 8:1-4.
Q What if the poverty is due to the fault of the poor person? Compare 2Thessonians 3:10 with 3:13, Galatians 6:9.



Lord, I refuse to be poor, teach me to prosper🙏
Lord, I reject every poverty mentality, I want to be a giver. I will start now with the little I have🙏
Lord, I hereby break the yoke of insufficiencies in my life and family. Things must change🙏
Pray that our brotherly love will be deepened unto sacrificial giving to the needy in the Church🙏

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...
