Daily Fountain 2017 - God's Favour Exalts







Saturday March 25

Bible Reading:     Luke 1: 26 - 38

Topic:         God's Favour Exalts

Angel Gabriel's message to Mary - " .... you are highly favoured, the Lord is with you ...." (v. 28) shows that Mary had received divine favour therefore she was chosen in preference to all women upon the earth to be the mother of the Messiah

Mary was not the only girl or virgin in Israel but her life of righteousness, humility, devotion and faithfulness must have attracted divine favour and this exalted her from the position of a "common" or poor virgin girl of Nazareth to being the Mother of the Messiah. Her song in Luke 1: 46 - 55, reveals her deep faith and devotion to the Most High God.

Joseph was another individual who received divine favour and God made him - "governor over Egypt and Pharaoh's entire house" (Acts. 7" 9-10; Gen. 42: 6)

God's favour through King David changed the already shattered destiny of Mephibosheth and he became one of those who sat at the King's table (2 Sam. 9: 1-13)

Beloved, it is one thing to struggle for survival, and another altogether to be favoured of the Lord.

Let us determine to serve the Lord in all righteousness, keeping our garments clean as we patiently wait for the second coming of the Lord

Prayer:
Lord show me Your favour in all I do for I pray in Jesus Name, Amen.

Memory verse:   Luke 1: 37
"For with God, nothing shall be impossible"

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
