Daily Fountain 2017 - The Christian Home

Tuesday March 21

Bible Reading: Col. 3: 18 - 25

Topic: The Christian Home

The first Institution that God founded on earth was Marriage (Gen. 2: 18 - 25) and this is the bedrock of every home.

Faith in Jesus Christ not only changes individuals, it also changes homes.

Paul addresses family members - husbands, wives, children and servants (vs. 18 - 22)

The home is meant to be a place of joy, happiness, security and comfort but so many marriages are under pressure cause homes to dysfunction. Consequently society is also in disarray.

One of the greatest things we can do as individuals is to help in building godly Christian homes.

Paul addressed the various members of the family and pointed out the factors that make for a strong and godly home which are

1. Submission of wives to their husbands (v. 18)

2. Love from husbands to their wives (v. 19)

3. Obedience of children to their parents in all things (v. 20)

4. Fathers not provoking their children (v. 21)

5. Total obedience of servants to their masters (v. 22)

We must do the above heartily and conscientiously to the glory and praise of God.

Prayer:

Almighty God crown my home with beauty and peace in Jesus Name, Amen, Amen.

Memory verse: Col. 3: 23

"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily and as unto the Lord and not as unto men"

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
