Daily Fountain 2017 - By Strength Shall No Man Prevail





Thursday September 14

Bible Reading:     1 Sam. 2: 1 - 11
Topic:                  By Strength Shall No Man Prevail

When Hannah dedicated Samuel to the Lord at Shiloh, she expressed her gratitude to God in prayer.

This time, her prayer was not that of petition but praise (v. 1).

Her heart rejoiced and her horn was lifted high. The Lord did it for her. Weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning (Ps. 30: 5)

May this also be your experience in any matter for which you are waiting on the Lord.

In her song of praise, she recognized the futility of man's effort without God and the Sovereignty of God in her life and situation. Her experience of barrenness gave her the priviledge of seeing different Attributes of God.

In. vs. 2 - 8. she saw God as Rock, Omniscient, Omnipotent and a Perfect Judge.

What would your song of praise to God say about Him?

Do you understand that any success in life and ministry comes from the Lord? He allow crowns all your efforts with success.


Hannah understood this face and praised God.

Christians must also understand that "the race is neither to the swift nor the battle to the strong" (Ecc. 9: 1)

Let us therefore live in total dependence on God's sovereignty over our lives and situations.

Prayer
Lord please crown my efforts with Your success, Amen.

Memory Verse             1 Sam. 2: 9
"He (God) will keep the feet of His saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail."

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:...
