July 19, 2019 Anglican Church Daily Fountain Devotional : TOPIC - REMAIN CALM

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

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

DATE: FRIDAY, JULY 19, 2019 

TOPIC - REMAIN CALM!

READ: PSALMS 37 (NKJV)

1. Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
2. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb. 

3. Trust in the Lord , and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
4. Delight yourself also in the Lord , And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
5. Commit your way to the Lord , Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.
6. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday.
7. Rest in the Lord , and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
8. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret— it only causes harm.
9. For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord , They shall inherit the earth.
10. For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more; Indeed, you will look carefully for his place, But it shall be no more.
11. But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12. The wicked plots against the just, And gnashes at him with his teeth.
13. The Lord laughs at him, For He sees that his day is coming.
14. The wicked have drawn the sword And have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, To slay those who are of upright conduct.
15. Their sword shall enter their own heart, And their bows shall be broken.
16. A little that a righteous man has Is better than the riches of many wicked.
17. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, But the Lord upholds the righteous.
18. The ord knows the days of the upright, And their inheritance shall be forever.
19. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20. But the wicked shall perish; And the enemies of the Lord , Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish. Into smoke they shall vanish away.
21. The wicked borrows and does not repay, But the righteous shows mercy and gives.
22. For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth, But those cursed by Him shall be cut off.
23. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord , And He delights in his way.
24. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand.
25. I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread.
26. He is ever merciful, and lends; And his descendants are blessed.
27. Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell forevermore.
28. For the Lord loves justice, And does not forsake His saints; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
29. The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell in it forever.
30. The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, And his tongue talks of justice.
31. The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide.
32. The wicked watches the righteous, And seeks to slay him.
33. The Lord will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged.
34. Wait on the Lord , And keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
35. I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a native green tree.
36. Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more; Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found.
37. Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace.
38. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39. But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord ; He is their strength in the time of trouble.
40. And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, And save them, Because they trust in Him.

THE MESSAGE:

Some of the things we see on earth today, give us the false impression that lawlessness, wickedness and unrighteousness are more to be desired than righteousness and truth. On many occasions in Nigeria, when motorists queue up in traffic, waiting for their turn to move, some unscrupulous and undisciplined drivers would move into the wrong lanes and proceed on their journey. On some occasions, when they do this and meet the police, they offer them some money and the police would allow them go their way and get to their destinations earlier than the law-abiding citizens on queue.

Many brilliant students are denied admissions into universities because some operators of JAMB exam centres hack the internet and give answers to indolent students who pay them to cheat.

Many students sort their ways out in the universities and come out with wonderful grades, while other hardworking students are frustrated. These are the products of the wickedness of men. Some righteous persons are tempted to join the wicked. However, verse one enjoins us not to fret because of evil doers, or be envious of the workers of iniquity because they shall soon be cut down like the grass.

The rejoicing of the wicked is for a short while. Very soon you will look for the wicked and his ill-gotten wealth and will see them no more. Delight yourself in God, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

PRAYER: Oh God help me to be steadfast and unmovable. Make me to abound in righteousness and never to envy the evil doers.
