Daily Fountain 2017 - 1310 - Prevailing




Friday October 13

Bible Reading:     Rom. 11: 1 - 10
Topic:                  Prevailing

Today's reading shows Paul's presentation of himself as an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin, an accredited rich Jewish heritage.

On the other hand, as a believer, it was meant to give comfort and hope to a people who had once rejected their own (Jesus) and neglected the gospel (Salvation).

The Scripture says "For the Children of Israel have forsaken Your Covenant, torn down Your Altars and killed Your Prophets with a sword" (1 Kings 19: 10)

The Israelites thought that they have been condemned by God, Paul then rose to correct their false impression in verse 1 "I say then, has God cast away His People? Certainly not"

God has not condemned us forever. He hasn't; His grace prevails over us and in all situations, not minding our sins or how we have lived in the past.

That we are alive today is by His grace. Let no one feel or live condemned. Let no one think he or she cannot be forgiven by God. let us not live in the past anymore. Rather we should allow the grace of God to enable us live every day of our lives to the glory of God.

Look around you and behold God's abundant grace. Remember God has a remnant according to the election of Grace. (verse 6)

Prayer
May the grace of God keep our hearts and minds to always do what pleases the Lord, Amen.

Memory Verse             Rom. 11: 1a
"I say then, Hath God cast away His People? God forbid!."

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
