Daily Fountain 2017 - Isaac Had Time For God







Friday July 7

Bible Reading:     Gen. 24: 61 - 67
Topic:                  Isaac Had Time For God

Isaac was a godly man, who devoted quality time to meditation and prayer to God.

He obviously had a habit of separating himself from the noisome neighbourhood unto a quiet and conducive atmosphere to aid his meditation.

Isaac was clearly aware that his father's chief servant had undertaken a mission to secure a wife for him. Yet being equally mindful of the wisdom that relying on the arm of flesh would ultimately spell disaster (Jer. 17:5), he probably included the servant's trip in his prayers.

Isaac lifted up his eyes in the place of meditation and saw Rebekah.

Revelations are most likely encountered in an atmosphere of meditation. Upon setting their eyes on each other, their hearts were immediately knit together, an indication that she must be God's answer to the prayers of the family and Isaac knew Rebekah was in the scheme of God's will for his life and she would now be his confidant and companion.

With his mother gone, this was great comfort to him.

Divine comfort awaits you in your prayer closet

Prayer
Gracious Lord, teach me to endeavour to spend quality time in Your presence every day so I may be aligned with Your purpose for me,  Amen.

Memory Verse             Gen. 24: 67
"And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah and she became his wife: and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death."

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
