Daily Fountain 2017 - 2410 - Ushering In The Day





Tuesday October 24

Bible Reading:     Rom. 13: 8 - 14
Topic:                  Ushering In The Day

No matter how long the night may be, the day will surely come.

In Genesis Chapter Number 1, we learnt the full day starts from evening to morning.

It is always the night that comes first, then the day. Therefore the day should not come as a surprise to a man who has been in the night. And God wants us to be ready for the day when it arrives.

When a man understands that the day is coming, he takes up first -love - the summation of all the commandments. Love fulfills all the commandments and does no harm to is neighbour.

Other things which a man must face daily are
waking up and out of the bed
coming out of insensitivity to casting off the works of darkness
putting on the armour of light
walking as in the day, putting on Jesus Christ
and refusing to make provisions for the flesh and its lusts.

Prayer
Oh Lord, I want to meet the day-spring from on high, make me ready as from today in Jesus Name, Amen.

Memory Verse             Rom. 13: 12
"The night is far spent, the day is at hand; let us therefore cast out the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light."

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
