WELCOME TO 31ST JULY 2017 EDITION OF OUR DAILY MANNA CHRISTIAN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE WITH BISHOP DR CHRIS

Topic:
MORE THAN YOUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT: HE DOES NOT OWE!

( HEBREWS 11:6-13; PSALM 37:23-26).
William Couper Brain wrote the golden lines below: “No man can be a patriot on an empty stomach.” The above statement can be confirmed by the fact that the Federal Government of Nigeria owed her pensioners billions of Naira. But good news came recently in 2017 when 41.5 billion naira was paid! “Concerned about the plight of pensioners who retired under the Contributory Pension Scheme without being paid, the Federal Government has cleared the inherited arrears of accrued pension benefits for the year 2014, 2015 and 2016 by releasing N41.5 billion to the National Pension Commission, PENCOM, for onward payment of the retires” , Minister of Finance Mrs. Kemi Adeosun disclosed. Great news but consider the three years of no food on their tables! I can imagine how many pensioners died before this payment was made!
In fact, it is predicted that the pension bill would supersede the monthly payment for active workers of the Federal Government. Oh, no wonder pensioners are dying in queues daily! How can a hungry man be patriotic on an empty stomach? Indeed, governments are trying their best but they are not your God! God’s concern in our devotional today is to rescue you that He is not a man! God wants you to know that all your labor of love for His Kingdom shall not be in vain! Heaven is sending me to let you know that He is a perfect Paymaster: The God that says, “Owe no man, but love,” will not owe you! Hold on even when it seems that God is slow or when darkness has hidden His face!
Your God pays more than the government or any company! The God that paid ( rewarded ) Abraham, Moses, Daniel, Elijah, Elisha, Peter etc, will also pay you. Hebrews 11:6 says that He is a rewarder! Hear Psalm 37:25: “……..I have not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread.” When Joseph chose holiness, did God not pay him at last? When Jesus Christ chose obedience, did God not give Him a new name? Trust this God and never forget that: “God does not pay at the end of every week or month, but He pays at last.”
See Psalm 34:10, and declare many times: My God is a rewarder. I will trust Him. Shame shall be far from my address.”
