Daily Fountain 2017 - Victory Stone







Wednesday July 19

Bible Reading:     Rev. 2: 12 - 17
Topic:                  Victory Stone

Our spiritual victory is not only a testimony to others here on earth, but to unseen witnesses as well.

We have choices to make regarding the trial of our faith, because heaven is watching our response to our trials and afflictions.

Hammering trials break off the rough edges of sin in our lives. Grinding hardships chip away superficial spirituality.

For many years Christians in Nigeria have been passing through faith-testing trials with many parts of our Country die to insurgency, persecution and killing of Christians e.t.c.

Stanza 1 of A & M 304 says
"Fight the good fight with all thy might
Christ is the Strength and Christ thy Right
Lay hold on life and it shall be
Thy joy and crown eternally"

The "White Stone" was known to the ancients as a victory stone. God will change that unpleasant story of your life into glory. He will give you a new name, you will move from barrenness to fruitfulness, from beggar to "Giver".

Every limitation that has held you bound will turn around for your good, if only you turn away from those things which the Lord hates and repent, yielding only to those things that bring spiritual blessings.

Read 1 Pet. 4: 12, 13

Prayer
In my moment of trial, Lord grant me grace to remain steadfast to You in Jesus Name, Amen.

Memory Verse             Rev. 2: 17
"He that hath ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches: To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."

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
