DAY 23:  SUNDAY, 24^TH JANUARY 2016

FOCUS:  GDF CONTRIBUTION AND INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL CITY OGUNNMAKIN

Prophetic Bible Reading: Ps. 87 1-7

INSIGHT FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYER

As a Church, GOFAMINT is at the verge of writing a new page in the annals of her history. GOFAMINT has gone from step to step and from one level to another since inception. The Church is now at a crucial stage of development and evolution.

The Gospel Development Fund (GDF) collection this year is a special one. It is going to be dedicated majorly to the development of our new camp ground city. How many of us (GOFAMINT) members are ready to join hands with the Church leadership to make the building of the new camp ground a reality? Many of us during our last convention made pledges to pay certain amount of money for the project. Have you paid yours? If not, you need to pay the money as a matter of urgency. If you have not made any pledge, you have made a pledge and go ahead to pay it.

In addition to this, everyone of us must be willing and ready to pay our GDF sincerely and faithfully this year. GDF (Gospel Development Fund) is 10% of our income in the first three month of the year – January, Feburuary and March. This is in addition to our regular and mandatory tithe, making it 20% payment of our income for the three months. Your God demands of you to pay G.D.F., the Church leadership is taking petitions on your behalf to the throne of grace as you pay.

Let us demonstrate through this exercise that we are true children of the kingdom and patriotic members of the Church. It is the bastards in the family that rebel against good intentions and plans of the parents. Let us do away with complaints, murmurings, rebellion and agitations and do the needful and right things.

Let us take note of some points of lessons in our prophetic bible passage we read today. Psalm 87 let us examine them.

Vs. 1 the GOFAMINT camp being built now is God’s holy mountain

Vs. 2 God is so delighted in this Gospel City project and identifies with it. Every GOFAMINT member must cooperate with God and proudly key-in to the project.

Vs. 3 The camp is a glory centre where God will demonstrate His power and reveal his glory.

Vs. 4 Many nations of the world would be proud to associate with and be part of what God is doing there.

Vs. 5 All members who play their roles faithfully in building the camp-city would have their names written in gold. Our contributions can be likened to five loaves of bread and two fishes. God will bless them and use them to accomplish great things in the camp.

Vs. 6 The Lord Himself will personally take recognition of the names of all contributors; to promote, distinguish and bless them beyond measure.

Vs. 7 The camp-ground will become a centre of attraction with diverse ministrations and programme of activities to bring glory to God and blessings to mankind.

The summary of all these is that our expected contributions (both pledges and GDF) are the instruments that God will use to perform wonders and build the camp for his own glory. If you have been paying the GDF before, double up this year, don’t renege. If you have been indifferent before, join the chariot now. No GOFAMINT member should be left out. God bless you as you participate.
