Daily Fountain 2017 - 201117 - A Good Work Begun





Monday November 20

Bible Reading:     Phil. 1: 1 - 11
Topic:                  A Good Work Begun

Verse 6 reads, “being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ”.

The day we invite Jesus into our lives, 'a good work has begun'.

The good work is salvation through which the Father delivers us from the power of darkness and deposits us in the Kingdom of His dear Son Jesus Christ (Col. 1: 13).

It is important to ensure that this good work of salvation has begun in us. It is a timely question when we consider the many negative stories that are reported in the media about some pastors and church members.

These stories reveal that many are not Christians but Church goers.

If you have never given your life to Christ, today is the day of salvation. Don't postpone it, for tomorrow may be too late.

Notice that this good work has a completion day – the day when Christian returns.

As the Lord supplies us the power to continue the good work, He expects us to supply the willingness.

We will be supplying our willingness when we consecrate our lives to God every new day of our lives.

Have you done that today?

Prayer
Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord to Thee. Amen.

Memory Verse             Phil. 1: 6
"Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."

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
