Daily Fountain 2017 - God's Mercy






Sunday February 5

Bible Reading:     Psalm 36: 1 - 12

Topic:         God's Mercy

Sinners by their wicked acts show they do not have the fear of God. This is the root of all bitterness - lack of the fear of God.

Verse 2 portrays that the sinner deceives himself by flattering himself. While sinning, he thinks he is doing well, refuses to see the evil and danger of his actions, intimidating his conscience and calling evil good and good evil.

They deceive themselves before the devil deceives them. But one day, they will face reality when they stand before God in judgement.

Contrast this with the sincere heart cry for God to continue His loving kindness to those who know Him and His righteousness to the upright in heart (vs 10).

God's merciful nature should encourage us to come to Him no matter our situation.

If you have not known Him, let His attribute of mercy attract you to Him today because He is able to save you.

If you have already known Him, let this same quality in His Nature keep you attracted to Him that you may serve Him with the rest of your life.

Remember: His mercy and faithfulness reach to the clouds (v. 5)

Prayer:
Father, may Your mercy keep me attracted to You, Amen

Memory verse:   Psalm 36: 11
"Let not the foot of pride come against me and let not the hand of the wicked remove me."

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
