Daily Fountain 2017 - 2810 - Maintain Your Life With God





Saturday October 28

Bible Reading:     John 1: 17 - 25
Topic:                   Maintain Your Life With God

The text shows a conversation between the Jews of Jerusalem sent as emissaries (Priests and Levites) and John the Baptist on who he was.

These were Pharisees and they had many reasons to see John the Baptist: 1. John's new teaching; 2. if he had the credentials of a Prophet; 3.  why he had quite a following and it was growing. To all the questions asked (v. 21 - 22) John gave an answer: "I am the voice ....." (v. 23; Isa. 40: 3)

He was a voice, a herald or forerunner to some other Greater, Who was coming - Jesus Christ the Son of God and the Messiah of Israel.

The question of the Pharisees in v. 25 was about the Gentiles.

We learn a great lesson throughout this epistle between John and the Jewish Teachers that we are to be only a voice, a pointer or men to the Lord Jesus Christ to call me to repentance

Prayer
Oh God, help me to be a voice to call me back in repentance as John the Baptist did, Amen.

Memory Verse             John 1: 23
"He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness. Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias."

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:...
