Study 7A  A LESSON IN STEWARDSHIP
DAYS OF HEAVEN UPON EARTH

(Scripture Portion: Acts 11:19-30)
It is strange that some Christians seem to resent any teaching on the giving of our money to the Lord. If that is so then surely this would indicate a lack of understanding of the real meaning of Christian stewardship. If we belong to the Lord, and if we have given back to Him all that we possess, then surely we shall welcome instruction from the scriptures on the right use of ‘‘our’’ money. We are disciples, which means we should be disciplined people. Let us then look at some lessons on stewardship, seven of which are indicated in Acts 11:27-30
There had been a revival at Antioch (Acts 11:19-26), and one day a prophet named Agabus stood up and spoke of a very great need that existed among “”the brothers living in Judea””. The Christians in Antioch immediately said, ‘‘We want to help relieve this need’’ – (verse 29) – and they did (verse 30)! It was not a matter of compulsion, but rather a spontaneous act of love on their part.
1 . First Lesson: THE PRIVILEGE AND RESPONSIBILITY OF GIVING IS THE PRIVILEGE AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE LORD’ ’ S PEOPLE .
It was ““the disciples”” (verse 29) who gave. Notice, from Proverbs 15:8; Isaiah 1:11; Amos 5:22, that God will not accept worship without righteousness. Nothing that we can give to Him is acceptable until we have received His Son and have been washed in His precious blood (1 John 1:7). So we see that the privilege and responsibility of giving belongs to Christians.
Are you born again?You must have been giving to God's house or peoples since,but take a moment to add virtue to your giving by accepting Him.in the next study we shall look into the remaining lesson on giving.God bless you.

THE WORKS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT MEMORY VERSE : But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8. BIBLE PASSAGE: John 16:7-14 INTRODUCATION : In the first part of this lesson, we discovered who the Holy Spirit is, and who active He has been before the creation of the world. We discovered the part He played in the creation of the heaven, and the earth, how He preserves and renews the earth and how He can destroy whenever the need arises. We discussed the part He played in bringing Jesus to the world and how He was involved in every aspect of Christ’s Ministry here on earth. We also mentioned how it was by the power of the Holy Spirit that Jesus performed His miracles and that it was the power of the Holy Spirit that raised Jesus Christ from the dead. We ended the first part by saying tat the Holy Spirit is now actively interested in th

@Livingwater Study 2 My contribution to gospel (Scripture Portion: Philippians 1: 1-11) It is significant that the word ‘gospel’ occurs in this letter nine times: (1) It is a glorious word. It means “good news”, and in John 3:16 we have “the gospel in miniature”, and in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 we have the gospel defined. (2) It is a precious word. All who are truly saved love this grand old word. (3) It is also a much hated word. The Devil hates it like poison, and so do all who oppose the gospel. (4) It is a greatly misunderstood word. How many there are who are ignorant of the gospel and who confuse “religion” with the gospel! (5 ) It is a saving word. It is God’s dynamite to open the human heart (Acts 16:14); to overcome the powers of darkness (Acts 16:18), and to awaken, save and transform (Acts 16:26-34). (6) It is an identifying word. Anyone who is truly born again will speak of “the gospel” – not of religion, or even of Christianity. (7) It is a biblical word. Look up the foll

Sins against the Holy spirit (God's personality)

SINS AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT MEMORY VERSE : Wherefore I say unto you, all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. Matt. 12:31. BIBLE PASSAGE: Matthew 12:22-37 INTRODUCATION: The Holy Spirit is a person that can be sinned against. Let us beware lest we sin against Him either consciously or unconsciously because the HolySpirit is Fire (Heb. 12:29). And anyone who toys with fire is sure to get burnt. THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN BE BLASPHEMED AGAINST Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is one sin for which there is no forgiveness (Matt. 12:31-32). It is called the unpardonable sin, the most lawful sin that can be committed on earth. Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is ascribing to Satan the work of the Holy Spirit. Beware of belittling the work of the Holy Spirit. This is a very serious matter! THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN BE INSULTED Now it is the Holy Spirit that presents the atoning work of Christ to the sinner
