Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. 2. And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. 3. Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5. And they were not given [authority] to kill them, but to torment them [for] five months. Their torment [was] like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6.

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION) DATE: MONDAY, AUGUST 21, 2017 TOPIC: HAVE CORRECT PRIORITIES TEXT: EZRA 3:1-7 MESSAGE The Jews who returned from exile gathered in unity in Jerusalem in the seventh month to celebrate the feast of Tabernacles. They had three major tasks before them namely: rebuilding the city, constructing the temple and rebuilding the altar of the· Lord. Under the leadership of Jeshua the high priest and Zerubbabel, they made the rebuilding of the altar their first priority. The altar was very important because of its central role in worshipping and offering sacrifices to God. Every Christian needs to have his/her priorities right. To worship, honour, and adore God ought to be the first priority in our lives. Unfortunately we spent time pursuing other priorities that involve meeting our needs even though Jesus gave this command in Matthew 6: 33: “….. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousn...

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION) DATE: SUNDAY 20, 2017 (TRINITY 10) TOPIC: CHOOSE ETERNAL LIFE! READ: MATTHEW 25: 31-46 MESSAGE: When the Son of Man comes in His glory, the sheep will be separated from the goats, the righteous from the unrighteous (v. 32). Other terms used for the same separation include the separation of the saints from the sinners, or the wheat from the tares (see Matt. 13: 30; Rev. 22: 14-15). From v. 46, we see that the righteous will be rewarded with eternal life, while the unrighteous will face the grim reality of eternal punishment! From vs. 40 & 45, we understand that a person is regarded as ''righteous'' or ''unrighteous'' based on what he did or failed to do while alive. Indeed, John 3: 36 declares: ''whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him''. While we cannot choose w...

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION) DATE: SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 2017 TOPIC: REBUILDING THE TEMPLE READ: EZRA 2:64-70 MESSAGE In this passage, we see that the first batch of returnees from exile was carefully recorded (verses 64-66). Their servants and transport animals were also indicated (verses 65-66). In addition, major contributions for rebuilding the temple were specified (verse 69). In today's units of measurement, these freewill offerings amount to about 500 kilograms of gold and 2,900 kilograms of Silver! What will be their monetary values? Probably millions of naira! In verse 58, we note that only some of the family heads contributed towards the temple rebuilding effort. What must have prevented the other leaders from making their own contributions? See Haggai 1: 2 for possible answers. Consider your own contributions towards the work of God so far this year. Do you personally think they are reasonable, considering how th...
