Daily Fountain 2017 - God Answers Prayers Of Faith






Thursday March 2

Bible Reading:     James 1: 1 - 15

Topic:         God Answers Prayers Of Faith

The epistle of James was written specifically to the Jewish believers (1:1) and he opened it with an encouragement to rejoice in their trials for God uses it to grow and mature them in the faith.

If they lacked wisdom in their situation, they should ask God for it in faith, without doubting, since double-minded people receive nothing from God.

"He who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind" (v. 6)

To buttress this fact, Jesus told us in Mark 11: 24 "Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them and you will receive them." (Mark 11: 24)

Beloved as you prepare for the day, do not just pray as a matter of routine or a way of fulfilling all righteousness; believe that your words count in the Ears of the King of kings and He will honour them.

He has promised to answer your prayers; you can rely on Him, you can trust Him because He will definitely answer you.

Prayer:
Dear Lord, forgive me for thinking You are too far from me as a result of my unbelief. From today, help me to trust that You can do all things for me because I believe Your promises, Amen.

Memory verse:   James 1: 5
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him"

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
