Daily Fountain 2017 - Commit Your Ways To The Lord







Monday July 3

Bible Reading:     Gen. 24: 1 - 14
Topic:                  Commit Your Ways To The Lord

Abraham's servant had just been saddled with a very difficult. sensitive but definite task which called for a definite result.

Humanly speaking, it was virtually an impossible mission, failure of which would likely truncate the flow of the family's covenant relationship with God.

He left under oath, fully prepared for the mission, but knowing that he was not really qualified in himself to deliver accordingly. Thankfully, growing up in Abraham's household, Abraham's faith in God had positively impacted his own life.

At that well in the city of Nahor, he prayed a simple prayer of faith and waited (vs. 12 - 14)

Today Christians do not necessarily need to pray in the manner that Abraham's servant did, when faced with difficult situations and decisions. We should rather learn to take seriously the admonition in Prov. 3: 5 - 6; Psa. 37: 5

Absolute trust in God's ability and faithfulness to help us navigate the many difficult terrains of life will help us avert unnecessary heartaches which failure in our life's missions will bring on us.

Prayer
Help me dear Lord, to always acknowledge You in all my ways, so I may not ever lose my bearing in life, Amen.

Memory Verse             Gen. 24: 4
"But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac."

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
