Daily Fountain 2017 - Joy That Follows Forgiveness







Sunday January 29th

Bible Reading:     Heb. 10: 26 - 39

Topic:         Joy That Follows Forgiveness

Nothing compares with one being free from sin. There is joy inexpressible.

We are meant to understand three things from this Psalm

1.      That true forgiveness comes from God

2.      That there is need for us to confess our sins before God for us to obtain Divine and complete forgiveness. The Bible says "though our sins are like scarlet, God will make them white as snow." So we have to confess our sins to God whenever we transgress

3.      That we will have true joy when our sins are forgiven (vs. 2) And when our sins are forgiven, we will be free from guilt.
Forgiveness brings joy and you will begin to feel God's presence.

The Bible says "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1 : 9)

Unless you do this, you will never find peace in this world (Ps. 32: 3 - 5)

The peace He gives is not like that of the world (John 14: 27). His peace is so overwhelming that we cannot fathom its depth

So beloved in Christ, go to Christ, confess your sins and obtain Divine forgiveness and have the joy of the Lord.

Prayer:
My Heavenly Father, please forgive me my sins and grant me the joy of my salvation, Amen

Memory verse:   Ps. 32: 10
"Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about."

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
