Daily Fountain 2017 - Quadruple Blessings





Tuesday October 3
(Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther's Day)

Bible Reading:     1 Pet 5: 1 - 13
Topic:                  Quadruple Blessings

Peter has addressed several issues in today's reading which concern both the old and the young.

Our generation wants to serve God without suffering, but Peter has made it clear that Christians should endure suffering.

Serving God should be from a sincere and a willing heart and not for any selfish reason.

Peter also emphasized on humility. Humility and fear of God take care of all human aspirations including wealth, honour and life (Prov. 22: 4)

Paul encourages us to have this attitude in us which was also in Christ Jesus (Phil. 2: 5). The truth is that he is not a lion, we have the Lion of Judah in our midst. Moreover the enemy is not devouring anyone he sees, but seeks to devour those that do not know God or who know God but are careless and not watchful enough.

If we remain faithful despite our sufferings, then the quadrupled blesings shall become ours. He will restore, make us strong, firm and steadfast

Prayer
Father Lord, give me the grace to remain faithful in all circumstances of life, Amen.

Memory Verse             1 Pet. 5: 8
"Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary, the devil as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour."

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:...
