WATER
OF LIFE
John 7:37-44 NKJV
On the last day, that great day of
the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come
to Me and drink. (V 37)
It is true that the days of men
are filled with many Challenges. But do you know God has also provided wonderful
grace and strength for us to face them? One of them is what I call the water of
life – “The Holy Spirit”. Jesus was not making mistakes to present the Holy
Spirit as the water of life. He was only symbolising the Holy spirit by the way
He works. That is, as water but now a living water that gives life. If we
quickly look into some characteristics of water. One of them is drinking. We
drink it to quench our thirst. And Jesus said we can drink of this water of
life so that rivers of living water may flow out of us.
Friend, do you know that Jesus was
introducing the source of great power to us here, that when we drink out of the
water, rivers of water can flow out of us?
That when we are to face a battle
of life and we look not strong enough; just look for a corner and drink and you
will be strong, confident and bold. And what will come out of you will be
powerful. This is the secret of Peter’s boldness on the day of Pentecost and
the lifestyle of the disciples Act 4:31.
The water is the Holy Spirit.
Drinking it is praying in the Spirit or tongues (Jude 1:20). You are also
drinking whenever you are meditating in the word of God (John 6:63). Are you to
face any examination, interview or you are to face a panel, then look for a
corner and first drink of the water. You will be surprise of the result of your
performance. This is how God expect all believer to live out His life and He
live through us in all situation in this world. This makes you and God to start
to work together in all you do (Mark 16:20). This is our weapon of victory.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to always drink of the water of life daily
“TAKING
OF THE WATER OF LIFE IS PARTAKING OF DIVINITY”.
