HOLY SPIRIT - THE LIVING WATER

-

Isaiah 12:2

See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The Lord God is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.”


The book of Isaiah contains great prophecies of Christ and the salvation He brings to man.


See verse 3:


Isaiah 12:3
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.


See Jesus revealing the same:


John 7:38
"He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."

If only the people of Israel and Judah at that time had the patience and wisdom to wait on God, how wonderful an ending they would have had.

Today, let us remember what great a salvation God has given us. That we are no longer under the bondage of Satan, sin and the world, but we have victory over them all. We are significant and so much empowered because we have been adopted as sons.


Isaiah 12:4
And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.


Remember that our sonship is tied to having that living water in us, for the Spirit is the seal and sign of our sonship:


Romans 8:14
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.


We can draw from that well of salvation, "The Holy Spirit" that we thirst no more.


That thirst that David sought to be quenched:


Psalm 42:1&2
As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?


We enjoy that quench of thirst in the Holy Spirit today, God with us day after day.


MAY WE MAKE THE MOST OF HIM!


Help us Good Lord by Your Spirit.


PRAYER
Loving Father, thank You for Your Holy Spirit. May I follow Your leading that I may enjoy the fullness of sonship for Your living water flows in me. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love
@the watcher.

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J...

IT IS FINISHED

-
Acts 4:12 "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." John 17:4 "I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. John 19:30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. Are you still struggling with religion, with the law, with the former things. Have you been tossed here and there with fear, condemnations, weights and burdens of dos and don'ts? There is good news, IT IS FINISHED. * It is not in progress, He has done it * He is not saving us, He has already saved us * He is not working it out, he has already worked it out. * He is not fighting the enemy, He has already defeated him on the cross, so we need not negotiate with the enemy. * He is not healing us, He has already healed us. * He is not trying to answer our prayers, He already has. So we ask, belie...

WHERE ARE THE GODLY WOMEN?

-
Titus 2:3 The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; Where are our elderly women? The Anglican Communion has the group, the Christian Mothers and further still the Mothers Union. This group may be called various names in different denominations such as "Good women" and "Awesome Treasures". These group of women ought to stand out as mentors and guardians for the younger women to guide them rightly in their conducts as wives, mothers and christian women. Titus 2:3 gives some description: * Holiness: are our elderly women holy, are they separated to God? * Truthful(Not false accuser) Do they avoid gossip and rumour mongering? * Can they control how they eat and drink (how do they behave in gatherings when food and drink is served?) * Do they teach good things, are they examples? In appearance, speech and conduct? Titus 2 : 4 & 5 That they may teach the young women t...
