Daily Fountain 2017 - Prepared For The Master's Use





Tuesday July 4

Bible Reading:     Gen. 24: 15 - 28
Topic:                  Prepared For The Master's Use

Rebekah appeared almost immediately after Abraham's servant prayed for God's guidance and help.

Though Rebekah was beautiful, the servant knew that the task ahead required much more than physical beauty.

She passed the servant's test with flying colours, by showing kindness, hospitality and care for a traveller she didn't know. She saw people in need and inconvenienced herself to help them.

We need to always remind ourselves that God desires the very best for every one of His children (Jer. 29: 11; 3 John 2). Unfortunately we often miss out on God's blessings because we ignore opportunities to obey His command to love and care for the vulnerable amongst us, which will be one of the yardsticks for judgement when He returns in glory as Matt. 25: 31 - 46 clearly teaches.

Unlike many Church folks who fail to involve God in their everyday lives, Abraham's faithful servant had no doubt that his meeting with Rebekah was ordained by God and he was quick to return all the glory to Him (v. 27)

God desires that we trust Him with our very own lives, only then can we truly see His Glory

Prayer
Help me, dear Lord, to never lose sight of the fact that I was created for the display of the beauty of Christ with which you have decorated my life, Amen.

Memory Verse             Gen. 24: 27
"And he (Abraham's Servant) said Blessed be the Lord, God of my Master Abraham, Who hath not left destitute my Master of His mercy and His truth; I being the in the way the Lord led me to the house of my Master's brethren."

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
