REMEMBER THE POOR IN YOUR LAND


₦Sermon 51

             REMEMBER THE POOR IN YOUR LAND
A sermon delivered during a harvest time at Umuozoche Station

 “Remember to include the Levites and the foreigners living among you in the celebration” —Deut. 26:11 NLT.

 A poor man owns nothing and he needs help from his neighbours. Every Christian is expected to devote his or her time in the ministry of helping the poor. It is really a glaring contradiction to say before the entire congregation during harvest time that we have given our sacrosanct gifts from our house to the Levites, foreigners, orphans and widows — Deut. 26:13 when we did not.

Harvest time is a especial period we’d show more of our love and concerns to the poor to join us for the merriment because God has really made it so possible for us to plant and harvest our crops. The sc
ripture says, we should include the poor — Levites, foreigners and widows in our harvest celebration. Thus, without showing our love and concerns to the poor in our land, the joy of our harvest is incomplete because you have eaten to your fill while the poor stay in hunger.

Some of you may be asking within your inner minds why you must remember the poor in your land and what about you – a widow.

 It’s a command from God and he knows why he said it — Deut. 26:11.

 God knows that he has blessed you beyond reproach and there should be no poor among you — Deut. 15:4.

 The land you farmed this year, God has richly blessed you in it – Deut. 15:4.

 When we carefully obey the Lord by helping the foreigners or the poor in our land, be rest assured that:

1. You will lend money to many nations but will never need to borrow – Deut. 15:6

 This means that many people will bow before you for money, they will ask you for financial assistance and you will lend them. It is really better to lend than to borrow because any one that borrows is a slave to the lender.  

2. You will control or rule many nations, but they will not rule over you —verse 6.

 If we are willing and remember the poor in our land, God will cause heaven to shower his blessings upon us. May God be with us — Amen!

  —————Meditation Point——————
LORD, help me to honour you by showing favour to the poor in my land. Make me a lender and not a borrower for in you there’s blessing. This I ask in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, amen!

EVIL DISEASE

sermon 2. EVIL DISEASE A sermon preached by Fortune Nwaiwu on 23/12/2018 “A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honor, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it, this is vanity, and it is an evil disease,’─ Ecclesiastes 6:2 KJV. Brethren, as we are all here this hour, I want you to know that the diseases people suffer from are not only HIV/AIDS, diabetes, typhoid and malaria or any other infections either curable or incurable. Our today’s homily will point out some areas that will enable us know the kind of diseases that have infected many people which most of medical doctors have not discovered but they fail to research in the scriptures as the anchor of their professions. King Solomon, the preacher discovers the most grievous affliction of human beings, a man blessed with riches, wealth and honor which have made him to lack nothing did not utilize his blessings in the fe...

GOD WILL REMEMBER YOU

₦Sermon 18 GOD WILL REMEMBER YOU “Then God remembered Rachel, He listened to her and opened her womb” ——— Gen. 30:22.   Texts: Isaiah 49:15-16, Gen. 8:1-3, Gen. 30:22, Human beings feel that they are being forgotten especially when they are facing trials and tribulations. One thing with our God is that he does not forget his people. He knows the appropriate time to settle our problems; the problem of barrenness, hardship and poverty. To tell us how important we are to him, God says: “See, I have written your name on the Palms of my hands” (Isaiah 49:16). This graphically means that every man’s problem is in the hands of God and which he will never forget to solve the problem of his children. Thus, the true picture of what the Christians are passing through here on earth is always in the mind of God. According to the scripture (Isaiah 49:16) for God to write our name on the palms of his hands means that whatever he has planned  for us shall never be forgotten. We c...

Where is the God of Elijah?

sermon 3.   Where is the God of Elijah? A sermon preached on Friday, 21/12/2018 “Elisha picked up Elijah’s cloak, which had fallen when he was taken up. Then Elisha returned to the bank of the Jordan River. He struck the water with Elijah’s cloak and cried out, “Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” Then the river divided, and Elisha went across”─ 2 Kings 2:13. As you have been here tonight, singing and praising God, the prayers we had made so far have been answered by God. Your needs tonight will be provided for you. Say amen! Our message comes inform of a question, which calls for the expectation of absolute answers. Literary critics may term it a rhetorical question─ a question that doesn’t demand for any answer.   But, for the reason that you are here tonight for Jesus the message will yield positive answers for us. You may have heard many things God did through Elijah, sparing him from the wrath of Queen Jezebel who vowed to kill him by all mean...
