Daily Fountain 2017 - Trust God For Tomorrow








Friday March 10

Bible Reading:     James 4: 13 - 17

Topic:         Trust God For Tomorrow

As human beings we sometimes make very exhaustive and meticulous plan for our lives without due consideration of submitting such plans under God's Will

James admonishes against such arrogance and foolishness seeing that we don't have control over our lives. God alone has that Power, therefore we should approach all our planning in a spirit of humility and say "if the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that (v. 15)

The Psalmist says "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain." (Psalm 127: 1)

Jesus counsels against anxiety over our material needs of food and clothing (Matt. 6: 25 - 34)

Since we have no power over what happens, it is only reasonable that we should depend entirely on the One Who has Absolute Power over ALL happenings in all days.

Proverbs 3: 5 says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."

Trusting the Lord for the unknown morrow brings peace to the mind and sound health to the soul.

You have no power over tomorrow therefore let God handle it , you can never regret doing so.

Prayer:
Thank You Lord Jesus because You hold my future in Your Hands, I ask for grace to trust You absolutely without wavering for a better tomorrow, Amen.

Memory verse:   James 4: 17
"Therefore to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin"

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
