Daily Fountain 2017 - Revoking Evil Thoughts

Friday February 3

Bible Reading: Psalm 35: 17 - 27

Topic: Revoking Evil Thoughts

A woman who was not happy because her daughter got born attacked her with words like "it shall not be well with you until you stop this stupid Church thing; your children will disgrace you as you have done to me" Her daughter replied: "Mama, God bless you and may all your curses on me turn to blessings because I have done you no wrong."

The Psalmist in our text describes the injustice, malice and insolence of his persecutors and presented them as a reason why God should revoke their evil wishes.

Two days ago, we saw that He interceded for them, but today he engages in spiritual warfare not against them but against their evil thoughts.

That was the same thing the girl in our story did.

So while we intercede for our enemies, we must not shy away from spiritual warfare revoking the evil thoughts and wishes of our enemies.

Both the Psalmist and the girl in our story made their appeal to God on grounds of their righteousness.

Therefore we have to be righteous for our spiritual warfare to be meaningful and effective.

Prayer:

O God, turn every negative thought of my enemies against me intl blessings, Amen

Memory verse: Psalm 35: 26

"Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt; let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against 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
