Daily Fountain 2017 - God Knows Our Deeds





Monday July 24

Bible Reading:     Rev. 3: 7 -13
Topic:                  God Knows Our Deeds

Jesus the One Who holds the key of David, sent a very comforting message of encouragement to the Church in Philadelphia.

He commended the Church for their faithful witness in hard times and the reward for their faithfulness would be three-fold: an open door that no one could shut; reverence from their enemies who would acknowledge God's love for the Church; and protection from the coming trial.

But He also admonished them to remain steadfast, since only those who patiently overcome would retain their crowns and be recognized in the Temple of God.

Today, Christians are suffering all over the world and in Nigeria we are facing economic, social and political crises.

These have brought untold hardship to many families. Yet the Lord is looking for those who will not deny Him but hold onto His promises.

Will you be among those who will be found worthy or among those who will compromise or lose their faith?

Do not give up, the Scripture has good news for you - our God will never fail on His promises. (2 Cor. 1: 20)

There are open doors and protection waiting for those who trust Him and remain faithful in difficult times.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, grant me Your grace to be able to stand in the face of trials, Amen.

Memory Verse             Rev. 3: 7
"And to the Angel of the Church in Philadelphia write: These things saith He that is Holy, He that is True, He that hath the Key of David, He that openeth and no man shutteth; and shutteth and no man openeth."

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
