Daily Fountain 2017 - Serving With Boldness







Monday June 5

Bible Reading:     Acts  2: 14 - 24
Topic:         Serving With Boldness

God is the greatest Strategist.

He chose Peter who had denied Jesus thrice to preach the first sermon after the apostle and the others were baptized with the Holy Ghost and God replaced Peter's fearful spirit with the boldness from the Holy Spirit.

Peter reminded the crowd of God's longstanding promise to give His Spirit in Joel 2: 28 - 32

We all need the boldness of the Spirit to declare the whole counsel of God especially in places we meet people whom we hold in high esteem.

Many preachers change their sermons when their listeners are those who have given them something or the other.

So do important Government functionaries attend Churches, when we minister in the Church, it should be without partiality or favouritism.

We should serve without the fear of what man may do to us, for God will assuredly protect us and give us the right word for our defence.

Prayer
Give me the boldness of Your Holy Spirit to serve in all seasons of life Oh Lord my Strength and my Redeemer, Amen.

Memory Verse             Acts 2: 21
"And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved."

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
