Daily Fountain 2017 - Don't Give Up

Saturday May 20

Bible Reading: Gen. 16: 1 - 6

Topic: Don't Give Up

It takes maturity and strong determination to take good decisions in time of pressure and controversy.

If pressure is not managed, it overshadows faith and hope.

Sarai took a wrong step by giving Hagar her maidservant to Abram.

She told Abram her husband "Go sleep with my maidservant, perhaps I can build a family through her (v. 2)

In his desperation, Abram lost sight of God's promises and cooperated with the plan. Hagar became pregnant and viewed her position as an advantage over her barren mistress and so began to despise her.

Surprisingly, the same Sarai who gave Hagar to Abram turned back to blame Abram for Hagar's misconduct

Avoid unnecessary short cuts. The devil is always involved in all things illegal.

Learn to follow God's program no matter the pressure. Don't cast away your confidence in God which has a great reward (Heb. 10: 35)

Be faithful to Him as you struggle to gain admission, promotion, peace, children in your marriage, breakthrough in your business e.t.c.

Don't follow the multitude to sin.

Remember the stars shine brightest in the darkest skies

Do not be involved in any success for which you cannot boldly give testimony

Prayer:

Keep watch over me oh God and save my soul from wrong, Amen

Memory Verse: Gen. 16: 6

"But Abram said unto Sarai, behold they maid is in thy hands; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face"

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:...
