WHAT THE MEN OF GOD SHOULD LEARN FROM DAVIDO`S WORK OF FAITH

Yea, a man may say; Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
James 2:18

Prayers and applause rang out across the country for music star David Adeleka a.k.a Davido following the donation of 250 million naira from his birthday fundraiser to charity.

The fundraiser began as a joke on Thursday 18th of November after the singer challenged his colleagues on Twitter to contribute 1 million naira each, to enable him clear his Rolls Royce for his forthcoming birthday.

After receiving about 201 million from friends and fans. Davido decides to add 50 million from his savings and give all 250 million naira back to Nigerians.

The music star has raised a 5-man committee that will take charge of distributing the funds to various foundations and motherless homes all over Nigeria.

God bless Davido for his beautiful heart and kind gesture. You`re a classic definition of an influencer; you`ll live a long and healthy life, you`ll ride in cars you did not buy and live in houses you did not build, more money and favor will locate you, you`ll go from billions to trillions and then from influence to affluence. YOU`LL RISE ABOVE YOUR PEERS!

Davido you`re a true Man of Faith. You preached without a pulpit. You lived the Bible without reading or quoting scriptures. You answered so many people`s prayers. You`re Jesus exemplified. God bless you for this huge sermon you preached through your Work of Faith.
Friend; faith is work and work is a must for faith to work. Here are 2 things the Men of God should learn from Davido`s Work of Faith.

(1.) Lift Others
We rise by lifting others. During the fundraiser you`ll discover that a substantial amount of donors contributed 1 million naira, some even contributed above 1 million. Davido was able to gather so much support because he has lifted others up the success ladder directly or indirectly. He has a truly successful music ministry.
Unfortunately, this is not the case in prosperity churches today. What percentage of the congregation in these churches can comfortably give a million naira offering? Most of the congregation in these churches are stuck in the Prosperity Rat Race due to lack of support and financial ignorance. The thing with the rat race is that even if you win the race you`re still a rat because there are rat killers in the society. The rats end up working as slaves for the
cats all their lives due to financial ignorance.
The congregation has been taught to pay tithe and sow seeds as a means to achieve financial prosperity. Tithe paying and seed sowing does not exempt you from lack of financial intelligence and proper understanding of the capitalist system in which we live, the scriptures cannot be broken. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). It`s high time the Men of God support and give their congregation a balanced teaching on prosperity. Tithe
paying and seed sowing is not enough teaching on prosperity because when you over emphasize one truth at the expense of another truth then your message becomes heresies.

(2.) Prioritize The Needs of the Congregation
After Davido conducted the fundraiser he gave the proceeds to charity. Note the money was meant to clear his Rolls Royce but he gave priority to the needs of the needy above his own. He was
selfless, he took from those who had and gave to those in need. This was exactly what the Apostles did in the book of Acts.
Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
And laid them at the apostle`s feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
Acts 4:34-35
That selfless act towards humanity is not the case in churches today rather mega church auditoriums and private jets have been given more priority over the needs of the congregation who still struggle in the rat race.
When will the church produce the next generation of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Zuckerberg.
When will she get her members out of the rat race, when will she produce financial giants that can lend to nations.
These are the questions that only time itself can answer.
