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


DATE: WEDNESDAY, 24TH NOVEMBER, 2021 


TOPIC: YOU SHALL NOT BE MOVED


TEXT: 1 THESSALONIANS 3:1-5 


1. Therefore, when we could no longer endure it, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone,

2. and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow-labourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you and encourage you concerning your faith,

3. that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.

4. For, in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we would suffer tribulation, just as it happened, and you know.

5.  For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labour might be in vain.

MESSAGE:

Affliction, distress, suffering, persecution and pain sometimes characterise the life of a believer in Christ. In the passage we read Paul admonished the Thessalonian church not to be moved, moved, discouraged or demoralised by whatever affliction they were going through (1 Thess. 3:3). Though it is possible for sin to attract troubles to someone, yet it is erroneous to assume that all cases of trouble and pain are a result of one's sin. The early Christians suffered great persecution from the unbelieving world because they maintained their faith in Christ. The 3 Hebrew children refused to compromise their faith and were thrown into the fiery fire (Dan. 3:16-28). Glory be to God who did not allow them to be consumed and they came out of the fire!

               

Child of God, are you passing through the pain of bereavement, hardship, loss of job, false accusation.

disappointment, sickness, loneliness or the like? These are there to test your faith; you will come out of it victoriously! Stand strong. trust in the Lord, cast those cares and burdens upon Him for He cares for you (1 Pet. 5:7), You can be rest assured that no affliction or challenge shall separate you from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus. God will sustain you and you shall not be moved (Rom. 8:38-39, Ps. 55:22; Ps. 125:1). So encourage yourself in the Lord.

PRAYER: 

Lord. I am convinced that nothing shall separate me from Your love which is in Christ Jesus, help me to trust and depend on You as I go through life experiences in Jesus name. 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...
