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🙏

Divine Opening

By Date -
Divine Opening “ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; ” - - - Isaiah 45:1 Hallelujah! God has graciously brought us to the second month of this year. As the Lord themed this year as our year of Divine Beautification so also is this month themed as our month of Divine Openings. You may be thinking how will come bring to past His promises but remember that God can do anything at any time He wishes to. He can use anyone to bring to pass this Divine Opening. From the passage, He used Cyrus to subdue nations and Jehovah using any person to do His will is not an issue. I pray that in any area of your life that you are experiencing difficult and closed doors, Jehovah will cause the doors to be open unto you. No more will you experience difficulty and shortages. The doors of your supply are open...

Do Your Search Acts 17:11 – These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. While in college and high school, you will agree with me that after you are taught by your instructor, you carried out some search to attain the truth and to know more. This we all did for a degree and knowledge that is corruptible, aren’t we supposed to do more for a knowledge that incorruptible and that will lead to our salvation? It is advisable that we should always search the scriptures even if it is the most revered religious leader or person that just spoken from the scripture. To stay deceivable then don’t study or search the scriptures but remember many even the agents of darkness can preach and quote the scriptures but they do this by tailoring the scripture to suite their purpose, 1 Thessalonians 5:21, 2 Corinthian 11:14-15. Beloved study your bible frequently, 2 Timoth...

Make Me Known! Habakkuk 3:2 [2] Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the middle of the years. In the middle of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy. Thanks to Jehovah that were in the second half of the year and in the month of revival.
