THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION) DATE: MONDAY, 13TH NOVEMBER, 2023.  TOPIC: GOD'S PROMISES ARE SURE AND RELIABLE TEXT: HEBREWS 6 1. Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary [principles] of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2. of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3. And this we will do if God permits. 4. For [it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5.  and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6.  if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put [Him] to an open shame. 7.  For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by

Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep [Gate] a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. 3. In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. 4. For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. 5.  Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. 6.  When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been [in that condition] a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to be made well?" 7.  The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me." 8

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION) DATE: FRIDAY, 10TH NOVEMBER, 2023  TOPIC: MAINTAIN A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND MEN TEXT: ECCLESIASTES 5 1. Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil. 2. Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God [is] in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few. 3. For a dream comes through much activity, And a fool's voice [is known] by [his] many words. 4. When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; For [He has] no pleasure in fools. Pay what you have vowed -- 5.  Better not to vow than to vow and not pay. 6.  Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger [of God] that it [was] an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands? 7.  For in the multitude of

And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 17. I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. 18. I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. 19. For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. 20. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 21. Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit

To everything [there is] a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: 2. A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck [what is] planted; 3. A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; 4. A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; 5.  A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; 6.  A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away; 7.  A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak; 8.  A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace. 9.  What profit has the worker from that in which he labors? 10.  I have seen the God-given task with which the son

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION) DATE: TUESDAY, 7TH NOVEMBER, 2023.  TOPIC: LIFE DEVOID OF GOD IS VANITY TEXT: ECCLESIASTES 2:1-26 1. I said in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure"; but surely, this also [was] vanity. 2. I said of laughter -- "Madness!"; and of mirth, "What does it accomplish?" 3. I searched in my heart [how] to gratify my flesh within wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what [was] good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives. 4. I made my works great, I built myself houses, and planted myself vineyards. 5.  I made myself gardens and orchards, and I planted all [kinds] of fruit trees in them. 6.  I made myself water pools from which to water the growing trees of the grove. 7.  I acquired male and female servants, and had servants born in my house. Yes, I had greater pos

The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. 2. "Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher; "Vanity of vanities, all [is] vanity." 3. What profit has a man from all his labor In which he toils under the sun? 4. [One] generation passes away, and [another] generation comes; But the earth abides forever. 5.  The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, And hastens to the place where it arose. 6.  The wind goes toward the south, And turns around to the north; The wind whirls about continually, And comes again on its circuit. 7.  All the rivers run into the sea, Yet the sea [is] not full; To the place from which the rivers come, There they return again. 8.  All things [are] full of labor; Man cannot express [it.] The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor the ear filled with hearing. 9.
