Daily Fountain 2017 - Extra-Curricular Or Co-Curricular

Tuesday February 28 Bible Reading:      Rom. 8: 18 - 30 Topic:          Extra-Curricular Or Co-Curricular In his Secondary School days, Edu never took sports seriously. Whenever it was time for optional recreational sports, he went and hid himself in a Class Room and read books. He thought he was doing himself good especially as at that time, curriculum experts called sports "extra-curricular activity" So that word extra made him feel that it was not really part of education. But over time, he learnt that the curriculum experts because of the fundamental role of sports in learning now decided to call sports "co-curricular activity" In other words, exercises are now an integral part of education. He wished he knew that when he was in Secondary School, he would have taken sports as co-curricular and not extra-curricular activity and surely he would have been healthier and learnt better. Our reading today, informs

Daily Fountain 2017 - Joint-Heirs With Christ

Monday February 27 Bible Reading:      Rom. 8: 12 - 17 Topic:          Joint-Heirs With Christ A wealthy man with four sons died without leaving a Will. Following his death, they needed Letters of Administration for the properties of the deceased so that they would have the legal right to administer the properties in their own names. For this to happen, the law requires the applicants to be at least 21 years of age. Since the youngest child was way below the legal age requirement and they could not/would not falsify his age to make him qualify, the family had to wait for years for the last son to reach the age of 21 years before they could process the application. That is related to our text for today. Believers are joint-heirs with Christ but we cannot inherit the wealth of blessings God has in store for us without maturity since maturity in Christ is very fundamental to the issue of inheritance. How d

Sunday Sermon Summary - Quinquagesima Sunday

Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion)                                     Diocese of Abuja                          Cathedral Church of the Advent Quinquagesima - Sunday 26 February 2017 Today's Sermon Theme:      "The Christian Work Ethic" Topic:          Prepare For Retirement Key Text:     2 Tim 4: 7 Summary: Man's life is in phases: Infancy, Adulthood then Old Age or Later Life. In adult life, we expect to have finished our education, taken up a career or a profession that most of us keep till we stop work (particularly those in the Public Sector or Private Sector where there is a time set for retirement). In the Civil Service, retirement is after 35 years of service or 60 years of age whichever comes first, but we know that many falsify their age in order to stay on in office. In the Political Sphere especially in our Continent, we would have office holders who overstayed

Daily Fountain 2017 - Worshiping At The Holy Hill

Sunday February 26 Bible Reading:      Psalms. 99: 1 - 9 Topic:          Worshiping At The Holy Hill An elderly Christian said, "I don't like attending Church services in St. Mark's, Assemblies of God, Deeper Life, Redeemed, e.t.c. I am still searching for the Church of Spirit and Truth that Jesus recommended as a good place of worship." It sounded funny until he explained, the holy hill is a spiritual position in which as captured in our text, the worshipper recognizes Jesus as the reigning King over his life, upholds His Almightiness, lives in total submission to righteousness and holiness, holds onto the   testimonies of his encounter with Christ having obtained forgiveness from God and lives of daily prayer and reverence to God. It is the worship that comes from the holy hill, the hill of Spirit and Truth that God acceptes. Where do you worship? Two persons can be in the same Church service, one worshipping at the
