Daily Fountain 2017 - Benefits Of Living By God's Words






Sunday March 5

Bible Reading:     Psalms 119: 1 - 18

Topic:         Benefits of Living By God's Words

Psalm 119 is the longest Chapter in the Bible and begins with extolling the blessedness of the undefiled ones in the Way. The "undefiled one" is the person who sincerely believes the Word of God and whose life is regulated by the Scriptures.

Making the Word of God our standard of living is very important for us who are on the way to eternal life in Heaven.

Deut. 32: 47reveals it is not to be regarded as ineffective and insignificant because it is our life, and by this Word, we shall prolong our days in the land.

Notice that the Power of the Word is connected with the blessing of God in our lives.

The land was the inheritance of the Israelites from God and it is obeying His Words that would prolong their lives in it.

Today, our marriages, finances, family and all that give us joy are our inheritance from the Lord and we shall long enjoy them if we direct our life style to honour God's Word.

Prayer:
Father, I thank You because I am on the Way to eternal life. Cause me to love and obey Your Word in all that I do in this corrupt generation so as to possess all the blessings that come from doing so through Jesus Christ my Lord, Amen.

Memory verse:   Psalms 119: 8
"I will keep Thy Statutes, O forsake me not utterly"

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
