Daily Fountain 2017 - Embrace God's Assured Promises






Saturday January 28th

Bible Reading:     Heb. 11: 13 - 29

Topic:         Embrace God's Assured Promises

During the times of these Heroes of Faith, God revealed the future to them and they identified with it.

Though God's promises to us in life most times manifest in the future, we should firmly relate to them.

The secret of success in the faith life is to see the promises of God, embrace them, be assured of them, and confess (acknowledge) that we are people on our way to inheriting the said promises.

Had the Heroes of Faith reminded themselves of the things they gave up, they would have had the opportunity to return.

Through the Word of God, let's follow their footsteps and desire something better than we have at present.

Let's follow the example of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who bequeathed to their descendants the faith to believe in God for their inheritance which was still in the future.

Let's learn from Joseph who prophesied the future deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt.

Let's forsake the enticements of the present world like Moses did.

By faith, we too can inherit GOD's PROMISES.

Prayer:
Lord, let me see, be assured of, embrace and acknowledge Your Word, Amen

Memory verse:   Heb. 11: 25
"Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season."

Daily Fountain 2017 - It Is To Your Advantage

Sunday May 21 5th Sunday After Easter Bible Reading:      John 16: 5 - 22 Topic:          It Is To Your Advantage In life we must be ready to endure some level of discomfort in the present, in order to enjoy comfort in the future. The disciples had become comfortable with the presence and involvement of Jesus in their lives, but Jesus announced to them that it was necessary for Him to return to His Father in order that the Holy Ghost might come. If Jesus stayed, He would be only in one place at a time; but His Spirit would be everywhere at the same time. The disciples had to recognize therefore that growth and maturity come with sacrifice which involves willingness to step out of our comfort zone. God knows the best for you. Be sensitive to the leading of His Spirit. Desire progress but don't reject the change that brings it. Yes, you may be in an uncomfortable situation now, but God uses it to work out His purposes fo

God Is Not A Partial God

  God Is Not A Partial God   I want to say something to someone today and that is the title of this message - God is not a partial God. Every day that the Sun rises, it does not rise for certain people that God loves more than others, it rises for all (including even those who don't believe in the existence of God) Every night that the Moon shines, it does not shine for a select group of persons who God loves most, it shines for all irrespective of their religious affiliations including those who have no religion. The 4 seasons happen for all inhabitants of the earth - there is no discrimination. Life happens to all irrespective of our belief system. Good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people. Evil people prosper as much if not much more than good hearted people - Is that God's doing? You see, whenever you see someone doing something exceptional, something extraordinary it is not about luck, it is not about favour, it's not ev
