THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)

DATE: SUNDAY, 10TH OCTOBER, 2021 (NINETEENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY)

TOPIC: DOING THE FATHER'S WILL

TEXT: MATTHEW 21:28-32

28. " But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, 'Son, go, work today in my vineyard.'
29. "He answered and said, 'I will not,' but afterward he regretted it and went.
30. "Then he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, 'I [go,] sir,' but he did not go.
31. "Which of the two did the will of [his] father?" They said to Him, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you.
32. "For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but tax collectors and harlots believed him; and when you saw [it,] you did not afterward relent and believe him.

MESSAGE: 
The Parable of the Two Sons which we read has a lot to teach us including:
1. The need to understand that God has sent every believer to
work in His vineyard.
2 God has no pleasure in people accepting to do something
and not fulfil it, like the first son;
3 The second son was commended because he later obeyed
his father's injunction even though he first refused;
4. To begin the heavenly race is one thing and to complete it is another. Completing the race is what God desires and what benefits the believer.
           
Beloved, which service are you rendering to expand the kingdom of God? Do you accept a post in the church/fellowship without accomplishing the corresponding service? It is very dangerous to do so. Let us, therefore, do the work of God while it is day for night cometh when no man can work (Jn.9:4).

PRAYER: 
Lord, please help me to fulfil any promises I make You. Amen.

EXCERPTS FROM: 24/7 WARFARE PRAYERS AND SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH MANUAL

INTRODUCTION Right from childhood, the number “SEVEN” has always been an intrigue, an interesting puzzle, a fascination, and a great phenomenon to me. I was actually born on the seventh day of the month; perhaps this was one of the reasons why something leaps inside of me whenever I see the number. But as I grew up in the Christian faith I began to see a regular reference to it the scriptures. I was kind of saying, whoa! Holy bliss! Seven occurs 257 times, or 7 × 41 Seventh, the fractional part occurs 98 times or 7× 14 Seven –fold occurs 7 times. Seventy occurs 56 times or 7× 8 “Seventy” in combination with other numbers occurs 35 times or 7× 5. God is pleased to stamp the number “Seven” with the seal of perfection and completeness. God never down played the importance of the number, because it was the number of God. It is a carrier of God’s mysteries. It pleased God that, the Seventh man from Adam – Enoch sh...
