Daily Fountain 2017 - The Help Ministry







Thursday March 23

Bible Reading:     Luke 8: 1 - 3

Topic:         The Help Ministry

Today, Luke highlights the Ministry of the Women who used their resources to care for Jesus and His Disciples: Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Suzanna and many others whose names were not mentioned.

They were not alone.

Acts 9: 36 - 42 also records the wonderful ministry of Dorcas who cared for widows and other needy people.

The Scripture also records numerous examples of others who used their resources to support godly ventures and receive special blessings.

The generosity of Abraham to the Angels of God in Gen. 18: 1 - 14, fast tracked the fulfillment of the promised child Isaac (Gen. 21: 1-3)

The hospitality of the Shunammite woman to Prophet Elisha (2 Kings 4: 8-17) resulted in her having a son.

The faith and charitable disposition of the widow of Zarephath towards Prophet Elijah led to her having more than enough because she never lacked food on  her table throughout the period of famine (1 Kings 17: 13-17)

Beloved what is your contribution or support to the on-going work of God in your Church, family or Community?

Do you seek your Priest's welfare?

Determine to be involved in the Ministry of Help and you would be glad you did.

Prayer:
Father help me to always remember Thy Words as said in Gal. 6: 9 - "let us not become weary in doing good for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up", Amen.

Memory verse:   Luke 8: 2 - 3
"And certain women ............ which ministered unto Him of their substance"

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 sit...

Daily Fountain 2017 - 2310 - Building Out Of Ruins

Monday October 23 Bible Reading:     Acts. 15: 12 - 22 Topic:                  Building Out Of Ruins When you pass by a collapsed building, what comes to your mind? When you see a place devastated by war, what strikes you? Ruin, lots of ruins! dashed irrecoverable hope, you lament on what it used to be, when it was standing previously. God can change ruins and rebuild from new edifices. This is how God deals with our lives when it appears we have been ruined. We should not remain in the ruins around us, but on to God and allow Him to come and rebuild them for us and others. Prayer Lord, let me know how to make a building out of ruins. May I not be steeped in failed traditions to the detriment of revival in Jesus Name, Amen. Memory Verse             Acts. 15:...
