Daily Fountain 2017 - An Empty Tomb







Tuesday April 18

Bible Reading:     Luke. 24: 1 - 12

Topic:         An Empty Tomb

In this version of the resurrection story, two men met the women with the glorious news of Christ's resurrection.

In contrast to the mournful shadows of the tomb, their garments were brilliant and seemed to illuminate the tomb.

They asked the terrified women: 'why are you looking for the living among the dead? He is not here, He is risen'.

Even though He had told them of the Cross and the Resurrection, they didn't understand the message or the meaning of His Words - until now!

Like the women, we are often very slow to understand and appropriate all that God has promised us in His Word. Be encouraged to believe that God will always keep His Word.

Jesus Christ conquered death, the grave and hell forever and continues to give eternal life to all those who place their faith in Him.

In 1 Cor. 15: 12- 15, Paul tells us that if Jesus hadn't risen from the dead, we all would have reason to grieve.

If you are trapped in sin and see no avenue of escape, the good news is that Jesus died and rose again to set you free.

If you come to Him, He will be there to hear you, to help and to save you.

Jesus is Alive!

Prayer:

Thank You Father for the proof that Jesus lives, Amen

Memory verse:   Luke. 24: 7

"Saying, the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again"

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
