Daily Fountain 2017 - 2010 - Doing Things That Make A Big Difference





Friday October 20

Bible Reading:     Rom. 12: 9 - 21
Topic:                  Doing Things That Make A Big Difference

From the text we have read, there is a dire need for us to always live to draw to God the souls of our family members, relatives, friends, colleagues and neighbours by doing practical things that are pleasing to God and that can make the big difference in the world.

These include
1.      avoiding hypocrisy (v. 9)
2.      being kind and affectionate (v. 10)
3.      giving preference to one another (v. 10)
4.      being hospitable (v. 13)
5.      returning good for evil (v. 15)
6.      seeing to others needs and feelings (v. 15)
7.      being of the same mind (v. 16)
8.      treating others respectfully (v. 17
9.      living peaceably with all men (v. 18)
10.    leaving vengeance for God (vs. 19 - 21)

Let us not be ignorant of the fact the call to us to make the big difference on earth is very timely and it is for God's Kingdom.

It will not cost us anything other than doing little things that are good and godly. These things can help bridge the gap in the life of a Christian and transform his ugly situations.

They can help win the hearts of people around us and save souls from perishing.

How often we find it hard to do this and so we struggle with our faith. Let us arise and turn a new leaf as we continue our sojourn on the earth.

Prayer
Almighty God, teach us to love and appreciate one another so as to make the Society a better place, Amen.

Memory Verse             Rom. 12: 19
"Dearly Beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, saith the Lord."

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:...
