Our Responsibility Towards The Poor

By Date -
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🙏

Sheep’s Clothing!

By Date -
Sheep’s Clothing! Matthew 7:14 – Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. It is no more a news that there are many false prophets in this world. They have been even since the Bible days. Elymas in Acts 13:8 was a false prophet that tried to pervert the heart of the people from God. That is the work of these false prophets. They are workers of the devil and nothing about their life is God’s; from the outside they look like God’s prophets and messengers but they are recruiting souls for the devil. They use magic, human wisdom, human strategies to do their work. Consider again, Balaam to an extent I will consider him as a false prophet because he tried to curse the blessed of God and to stop the will of God for His children. Though Balaam hears from God but he wasn’t doing things according to God’s plan and agenda. He planned to even make God’s children fall. Please read Revelation 2:14 and Jude 1:11. Those in sheep’s c

Ceaseless Celebration Leviticus 26:6 – And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land Ezekiel 32:1-10; 34:25-31, Esther 9:1-22, Jeremiah 52:31-34 With Joy, I welcome you all into this month. In this month, we will record ceaseless celebration on every side. This is as a result of what God has done for us and what He is doing as well. He has given us peace and rest on every side. He has incapacitated the enemies of our lives. This is indeed wonderful. In this last month of 2017, the magnitude of God’s judgement on the enemies of your life will render them missing on Earth and you will be celebrated. If you haven’t celebrated this year, this month grace will make you celebrate and if you had celebrated, your celebration will not cease or to sorrow. God will put laughter on your face, royal garments on you and you will be recompensed for all the cel

Grace for Exceeding Multiplication

By Date -
Grace for Exceeding Multiplication Genesis 17:1-2, 2 Corinthians 8:9 [2] And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. Grace is God's Riches At Christ Expense. It is the almightiness of God invading the hopelessness of human. It is a commander of attention. It reduces sweat and increases accomplishments, Psalm 89:20. Exceeding means to be very great and to surpass others. To set a new record. Multiplication is to increase greatly in number, not step by step as in addition. PREREQUISITE 1 - OBEDIENCE - Leviticus 25:18 You can't increase when you are unfaithful in your tithing obligation and others. 2 - REMEMBER THOSE THAT HAVE RULE OVER YOU - Hebrews 13:7. The blessing is given by GRACE and the blessing can be multiplied by GRACE, 2 Corinthians 8:1-4, Acts 4:32-35. PRAYERS May Divine grace for expansion be released upon us - Amen. ________________ A sermon by Apostle Samuel Idedevwo of Christ's Chosen Church of God
