Daily Fountain 2017 - Hailing Or Nailing Jesus




Wednesday April 26

Bible Reading:     Acts 2: 22 - 39

Topic:         Hailing Or Nailing Jesus

The promise of Jesus in Acts 1: 8 is fulfilled in today's text. After the Pentecost, Peter's first message to a crowd brought in three thousand souls that repented.

How did this happen?

Peter was straight and forthright in his message.

The crux of Peter's message was that Jesus Whom the Jews despised and crucified was indeed the Messiah God had sent to them.

Peter went on to show how God endorsed Jesus as the Messiah through the miracles He performed and His death and resurrection yet the Jews for whom He came conspired to kill Him.

Touched by the message and its indictment a good number of Peter's listeners sought forgiveness through repentance and baptism.

"All have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3: 23)

You were not there when the Jews crucified Jesus just as many of Peter's listeners were not there too.

But as long as you continue to reject the saving grace Jesus gives, you are crucifying Him.

If also you are a Child of God and you are not living worthy of that Name, you are crucifying Jesus.

Are you hailing or nailing Jesus?

Prayer:

Thank You Jesus for dying on the Cross for my sins, Amen

Memory Verse:   Acts 2: 39

"For the promise is unto you and your Children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord God shall call"

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
