Daily Fountain 2017 - I Have Seen The Lord






Friday April 21

Bible Reading:     John 20: 1-18

Topic:         I Have Seen The Lord!

The resurrection of Jesus is the GREATEST EVENT in human history and marks the most profound demonstration of God's Power.

In commemorating the resurrection on Easter day we rejoice that we serve a Living God unlike man-made religions whose founders are dead and buried. We also live in the hope of resurrection to eternal life at the end of time.

In St. John's account of the resurrection, Mary Magdalene from whom Jesus cast out evil spirits (Lk. 8: 2-3) stands out. She in appreciation dedicated her lifetime to serving the Lord.

At the sepulchre when others including two of Jesus' Disciples gave up hope of seeing Jesus' Body, she tarried. She was rewarded by being the first to see the Risen Saviour and Lord and to announce it to the world: "I have seen the Lord, and He has spoken to me" (v. 18)

Have you experienced the Risen Lord and the Power of His Resurrection?
And are you witnessing His Resurrection to all around you?
If you are, be sure of His promise "..... that your labour is not in vain in the Lord" (1 Cor. 15: 58)

Prayer:

Lord help me to always appreciate Your grace upon my life brought by Your death and resurrection, Amen

Memory Verse    John 20: 17

"Jesus saith unto her, Touch Me not, for I am not yet ascended to My Father; but go to my brethren and say unto them, I ascend unto My Father and your Father and to My God and your God"

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...

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...

It's Easter Sunday

On the 1st day of the new week that is the 3rd day following His betrayal, trial, condemnation, crucifixion, death and burial, Jesus the Christ rose from the dead, thus making an indelible world history. And over 2000 years now, this story has made the rounds and no one has been able to controvert it. It remains as true as the Word of God Himself because it was prophesied that He Who would offer the eternal and last sacrifice, shall be condemned by those He came to save, He would be put to death but on the 3rd day He would rise again so that He could be the Master and Lord of both the dead and the living. In overcoming death and rising again from the dead, Christ gave us - believers - the power to also overcome death because even though we die, we shall rise again at the end of the age when He shall come to take us to His Home on High where we shall be with Him for ever. Be not afraid therefore, because Jesus conquered death and gave us victory As...
