Bible Reading: Eph. 4: 1 - 10

Topic: Show The Light

Step by step advice on how we can live a good Christian life is given by Paul in today's passage.

First he urges us to live a life worthy of our calling - that is "walk our talk"

Second we should be humble, gentle, patient and tolerant

Third, we should keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace, since all believers in Christ belong to one body united under one Head, Christ Himself (1 Cor. 12: 12 - 26) and have one Father and God.

And since God has given each of us gifts and abilities which if used in submission to the Holy Spirit will strengthen the whole body of Christ, each of us must endeavour to put those gifts to good use.

Allow these divine admonitions to bring changes in your life. Learn to be humble, patient, tolerant and peace seeking.

Don't allow the world to set the standard of your lifestyle.

As you live in the world, don't allow the world to live in you.

From today, let your life convince people around you that you are indeed a child of God and a good representative of His Kingdom

Prayer

Make me Lord, a practical instrument for peace, love and unity in my family and other places of engagement, Amen.

Memory Verse Eph. 4: 10

"He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill all things."

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
