Daily Fountain 2017 - Rejoice In The Lord All His Own







Sunday March 12

Bible Reading:     Psalms 33: 1 - 22

Topic:         Rejoice In The Lord All His Own

This Psalm is a hymn of praise probably written to celebrate the Power, Wisdom and Mercy of God .

It gives abundant reasons why God's People should rejoice in the Lord.

The source of the believers' joy is not in the world neither is it in themselves, but in the Lord.

New songs are put in their mouths because they too are new creatures. It is only the born again that can truly rejoice in the Lord in this world of uncertainty.

Reasons abound why believers should rejoice in the Lord.
His Word, because it is right (v. 4)
His Works because they are done in truth and in loving kindness (vs. 4, 5)
His Power (vs. 8, 9) because He is able to perform what He had promised
And His Counsel does not fail and finally we are able to rejoice in and praise Him because we are blessed.

He has chosen us for His Inheritance (v. 12) All spiritual blessings are ours because we belong to Him.

Therefore we should rejoice no matter the circumstances in which we find ourselves, reminding ourselves that "all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His Purpose." (Rom. 8: 28)

Prayer:
Father, thank You for being my Lord because I know that I am blessed beyond words, Amen.

Memory verse:   Psalms 33: 20
"Our soul waiteth for the Lord, He is our Help and our Shield"

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
