✝️📗DAILY FOUNTAIN DEVOTIONAL Date: 2024-April -21 (Third Sunday after Easter) 🎯 TOPIC: DO NOT PUT YOUR TRUST IN RICHES ✝️TEXT: Psalm 49: 1-20(NKJV) 49:1. To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Hear this, all peoples; Give ear, all inhabitants of the world, 49:2. Both low and high, Rich and poor together. 49:3. My mouth shall speak wisdom, And the meditation of my heart [shall give] understanding. 49:4. I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will disclose my dark saying on the harp. 49:5. Why should I fear in the days of evil, [When] the iniquity at my heels surrounds me? 49:6. Those who trust in their wealth And boast in the multitude of their riches, 49:7. None [of them] can by any means redeem [his] brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him -- 49:8. For the redemption of their souls [is] costly, And it shall cease forever -- 49:9. That he should continue to live eternally, [And] not see the Pit. 49:10. For he sees wise men die; Likewise the fool and the senseless person perish, And leave their wealth to others. 49:11. Their inner thought [is that] their houses [will last] forever, Their dwelling places to all generations; They call [their] lands after their own names. 49:12. Nevertheless man, [though] in honor, does not remain; He is like the beasts [that] perish. 49:13. This is the way of those who [are] foolish, And of their posterity who approve their sayings. Selah 49:14. Like sheep they are laid in the grave; Death shall feed on them; The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be consumed in the grave, far from their dwelling. 49:15. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave, For He shall receive me. Selah 49:16. Do not be afraid when one becomes rich, When the glory of his house is increased; 49:17. For when he dies he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him. 49:18. Though while he lives he blesses himself (For [men] will praise you when you do well for yourself), 49:19. He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see light. 49:20. A man [who is] in honor, yet does not understand, Is like the beasts [that] perish. ✝️ STUDY: The life of a man does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. The vain glories of earthly wealth and riches have no eternal value - they expire within a specified time. Riches cannot ransom our souls; they will never offer our souls eternal life or grant us immortality ofbody. The redemption price of the soul is too high to be paid by corruptible things; it is more valuable than all the world (Mark 8: 36). The blood of Jesus alone redeems a soul.<br /> We must not set our hope on uncertain riches. When the wicked man flourishes, do not envy him - he is damned already (Psa. 92: 7); godliness with contentment is great gain. No rich man is buried with stolen money, lands acquired by fraud, houses in various cities, ill-gotten wealth and blood money. As a mere breath, man fizzles out suddenly; he cannot abide in his pomp as his glory vanishes. The lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, pride of life and love for this world are vanities - we must not be entangled with them. Empty we came to this world, empty we must leave; this calls for wisdom. Put the totality of your trust in God; He will provide all your needs. ✝️🙏PRAYER: Dear Lord, please teach me to number my days that I may get a heart of wisdom in Jesus name, Amen. |

*THE DAILY DEVOTIONAL.* CHURCH OF NIGERIA _(ANGLICAN COMMUNION)_ *DATE:* WEDNESDAY, 17TH APRIL, 2024 *THEME:* EXPRESSED LOVE *TEXT:* 1 JOHN 3: 13-24 (NKJV) 3:13. Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. 3:14. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love [his] brother abides in death. 3:15. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 3:16. By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren. 3:17. But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? 3:18. My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. 3:19. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. 3:20. For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. 3:21. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. 3:22. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 3:23. And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment. 3:24. Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. *MESSAGE:* We do not love only in words but also in deeds. We express love through our actions which could sometimes require sacrifice. This is what God did when He sent Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of our faith, to lay down His life for us. That is the best gift God gave to mankind. Obviously, Jesus' action is an example of an expressed love. Now, love is an evidence to people around us that we have passed from death to life and when we do not love, we make ourselves murderers and abide in death. The debt we owe to others is love and if we truly love one another, it is difficult for us to hate. God called us to express love sincerely without lip service. Eugene H. Peterson in simple English puts it this way, “If you see some brother or sister in need and have the means to do something about it but turn a cold shoulder and do nothing, what happens to God's love? It disappears. And you made it disappear” (1 John 3: 17, Message). God does not expect us to give what we do not have, but according to the means He has provided. Can we ask ourselves this question: Are we not found wanting in expressing godly love? Without love, Christianity becomes another secret cult. Love is the language of the church; it is highest expression of Christianity. Be an agent of the love of Jesus to our world. *PRAYER:* O Lord, help me live above lip service and express love sincerely with right actions to my neighbour. _*Amen.*_ *QUOTE FOR THE DAY* God says: _"I will cover you all day long as you rest between My shoulders."_ *Deuteronomy 33: 12* |
*THE DAILY DEVOTIONAL.* CHURCH OF NIGERIA _(ANGLICAN COMMUNION)_ *DATE:* TUESDAY, 16TH APRIL, 2024 *THEME:* GENEROUS LOVE *TEXT:* 1 JOHN 3: 1-12 (NKJV) 3:1. Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 3:2. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3:3. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. 3:4. Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 3:5. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 3:6. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. 3:7. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 3:8. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 3:9. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. 3:10. In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor [is] he who does not love his brother. 3:11. For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, 3:12. not as Cain [who] was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's righteous. *MESSAGE:* The love of God that made him to seek for and restore us to a relationship with him is beyond human understanding; the magnitude is unimaginable.1 John 3: 1 paraphrased: I cannot explain this kind of love, it is too much for me, that God generously gave and did not hold back anything, even the Son, to make and call me his child. The appreciation and appropriation of the love of God builds hope which in turn purifies. This hope enables us to practise righteousness instead of sin. For God has dealt with the root of sin when His love propelled Jesus to the cross for the destruction of the works of the devil. Now, we must accept and appreciate this love of God: But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Rom. 5: . We must sincerely believe and accept Jesus Christ and resolve to live for Him and truly serve him. This love will keep us going and ready to sacrifice so as to please Him. This sincere love for God will definitely affect our relationship with Him; and in delightful obedience to his commandments, our families and neighbours will be loved and we will not deliberately hurt them. God's love is generous to us; can we generously love Him in return?*PRAYER:* Lord open the eyes of my understanding to perceive how much You love me and help me to love without reservation. _*Amen.*_ *QUOTE FOR THE DAY* God says: _"If you delight in My Word, you will be fruitful and prosperous."_ *Psalm 1: 1-3* |

*THE DAILY DEVOTIONAL.* CHURCH OF NIGERIA _(ANGLICAN COMMUNION)_ *DATE:* MONDAY, 15TH APRIL, 2024 *THEME:* RIGHTEOUSNESS *TEXT:* 1 JOHN 2: 28-29 (NKJV) 2:28. And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. 2:29. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him. *MESSAGE:* The corruption of man through sin in the Garden of Eden came to God with so much pain that he regretted making him (Gen. 6: 6). The chasing away from the Garden of Eden meant that sinful man was not worth being in relationship with a holy God. Although God almost immediately began with temporal measures for his restoration, yet man was counted as unworthy. At the fullness of time, God sent His only begotten son Jesus Christ to die on the cross and pay the debt of sin owed by man. This is so that His righteousness which man lost can be imputed back on him. No man is counted righteous before God by his own works (Eph. 2: 9); it is the righteousness of Christ which has been imputed to us by our faith in Him that stands us righteous before God. This also should give a great confidence to anyone who has given his/her life to Christ that he/she is indeed a righteous person. However, as text clearly indicates, we must continually abide in Him knowing that He will come back someday to harvest us to Himself. We must not live our lives in any way that will make us ashamed before our Master when He comes. *PRAYER:* Lord, may I continually count Your righteousness imputed upon me as a great treasure. Help me to live as one born of You. _*Amen*_ *QUOTE FOR THE DAY* God says: _"If you make your home in Me, then no evil will come your way."_ *Psalm 91: 9-10* |
✝️📗DAILY FOUNTAIN DEVOTIONAL Date: 2024-April -14 🎯TOPIC: THE SHEPHERD ✝️TEXT: Psalm 23:1-6(NKJV) 23:1. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want. 23:2. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 23:3. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. 23:4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You [are] with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 23:5. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. 23:6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever. ✝️ STUDY: David the author of Psalm 23 was a shepherd, and using the relationship between the sheep and the shepherd, he described the love, compassion and care that God holds for every of his children. In early morning, the shepherd led the flock from the fold to the spot where they were to be pastured. He watched over them to make sure that they were not endangered. Sheep require to be supplied regularly with water, and the shepherd for this purpose has to guide them either to a running stream or a dug well. At night, he brought the flock back, counting and making sure that they were complete. He protects their fold from wild animals and thieves.Having also risen to the position of the king of Israel, David was so certain that God watches over His own. The ability and the willingness of God to provide for, restore, lead, deliver and bless His people, is not in doubt as the Bible is replete with evidence. We must trust God in every circumstance to perform His desired role of a shepherd over us. Above all, we must have Him as our God and Master because, the direct responsibility of the shepherd is to his flock and not flock from another fold. Are you a member of God's flock on earth? If yes, trust Him for He is able to see you through. ✝️🙏PRAYER: Heavenly father, I resign to you. Have your way in my life in Jesus name. |
*THE DAILY DEVOTIONAL.* CHURCH OF NIGERIA _(ANGLICAN COMMUNION)_ *DATE:* SATURDAY, 13TH APRIL, 2024 *THEME:* SEDUCTION *TEXT:* 1 JOHN 2: 18-27 (NKJV) 2:18. Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. 2:19. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but [they went out] that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. 2:20. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 2:21. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 2:22. Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 2:23. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 2:24. Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 2:25. And this is the promise that He has promised us -- eternal life. 2:26. These things I have written to you concerning those who [try to] deceive you. 2:27. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. *MESSAGE:* From creation till now, Satan has not relented in fighting to control the soul of man. He visited man in the Garden of Eden and inflicted a great injury on his destiny until the coming of Jesus Christ. As much as the victory over Satan through the death of Christ subsists, Satan has not relented in his subtlety to seek for ways to re-imprison man. This he does through seduction as typified in false doctrines and teachings which have been around from the inception of the Church. This is the reason the Apostles made sure that the details of our faith were put in plain terms called the Apostles Creed. Because the salvation of man is delivered in Jesus Christ, there has been a concerted effort to deny that Jesus is the Christ. Our text enjoins us today to abide by the unchanging word of God wherein we see Jesus Christ as the author and finisher of our faith. Any contrary teaching and doctrine is that of the Antichrist which are sometimes peddled by some of those who had been with us in the faith, and most times, coated with exciting words that take only discerning hearts to see their falsehood. We must continually guard our faith by watching who we sit under and where we get our spiritual nourishment from. *PRAYER:* Grant me a discerning heart O Lord that I may know and live by the truth always. _*Amen*_ *QUOTE FOR THE DAY* God says: _"I will always build you up, not pull you down."_ *Jeremiah 24: 6* |
THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION) DATE: FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 2024 TOPIC: UNHEALTHY ATTRACTION READ: 1 JOHN 2: 15-17 (NKJV) 2:15. Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 2:16. For all that [is] in the world -- the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life -- is not of the Father but is of the world. 2:17. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. THE MESSAGE: There exists a great difference between the principles of God's kingdom and those of the world - they go in opposite directions. In the kingdom, you live by dying; you get by giving and you lead by serving, etc. It is not so with the world. The love of the world is not God's type of love; that of the world is full of lust of the flesh and the perishable ego therein. The lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life are of the world. As for Eve, the fruit was good to be looked at, it was very desirable, and had the potential to make her like God, but then came the punishment! Jesus Christ made it very clear to His disciples that they were not of the world. It is impossible to have both the love of God and that of the world dwell in a particular individual at the same time. The loyalty and the desires of a Christian should be to God and nothing more. Any other privilege added to him by God should be seen as an instrument of service unto God. The world today presents an unhealthy attraction to God's children and has a hidden intention to distract and destroy. We must depend on God's grace to remain faithful unto Him as we await the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. PRAYER: Deliver me from the attraction of the world, O Lord. |
*THE DAILY DEVOTIONAL.* CHURCH OF NIGERIA _(ANGLICAN COMMUNION)_ *DATE:* THURSDAY, 11TH APRIL, 2024 *THEME:* LOVE A SIGN OF LIGHT *TEXT:* 1 JOHN 2: 7-14 (NKJV) 7. Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning. 8. Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining. 9. He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. 10. He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 11. But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 12. I write to you, little children, Because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake. 13. I write to you, father's, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, Because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, Because you have known the Father. 14. I have written to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one. *MESSAGE:* From the beginning of the world, love and concern for man have characterised God's relationship with him. No wonder the Psalmist says, “What is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man, that you care for him?” (Psalm. 8: 4). It is very clear that love is of God and a very visible trait of His personality. The salvation of man through the death and resurrection of Christ is a great sign of God's love. If God is love, then His children who supposedly carry His DNA, must have nothing to do with hatred. If a man cannot love the humans around him, it means that he does not love God. If a man is filled with hatred for others, our text today puts it clearly that such a one is not in the light but dwells in darkness. Our love for others cannot be hidden. It shows through welfare, care, forgiveness, etc. It might appear very difficult to love those who oppose to us, but loving them shows that we are truly the children of our father who sent his son to die for a sinful world. Rid your heart of every hatred. Forgive those who offend you, and may the light of God continue to shine in and through you. Amen. *PRAYER:* Heal my heart O God and may Your light shine through me. _*Amen*_ *QUOTE FOR THE DAY* God says: _"The good things that I have planned for you are too many to count."_ *Psalm 40: 5* |

. We must sincerely believe and accept Jesus Christ and resolve to live for Him and truly serve him. This love will keep us going and ready to sacrifice so as to please Him. This sincere love for God will definitely affect our relationship with Him; and in delightful obedience to his commandments, our families and neighbours will be loved and we will not deliberately hurt them. God's love is generous to us; can we generously love Him in return?
