Daily Fountain 2017 - Wading Through Storms Of Life





Wednesday September 27

Bible Reading:     John 6: 15 - 21
Topic:                  Wading Through Storms Of Life

After the great miracle of feeding the crowd (5000 men, not counting women and children), they were excited and wanted to make Jesus King immediately.

The disciples entered the boat and headed to Capernaum but Jesus had not gone with them.

Suddenly, along the way there was a strong wind and the waters grew rough. This posed a big threat to lives and property and became a big hindrance to the whole journey.

Often in the journey of this life, there are many storms, road blocks, obstacles, in our path to create difficulty in the entire journey, to slow us down or damage us or to derail us from the Divine purpose; to bring discouragement and frustration.

Verse 21 tells us that as soon as they allowed Jesus into the boat, immediately the boat reached the shore where they were headed.

We can wade through the storms of life by allowing Jesus into our life's boat in this life journey.

He is our Shelter in the storms of life and will steer us to our desired destinations

Prayer
Father, today, I pray for all Your children who are passing through different storms in their lives, that You O God may deliver them and see them through to their desired destinations, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Memory Verse             John 6: 20
"And He (Jesus) saith to them (His Disciples), It is I, be not afraid."

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
