FOUNTAIN OF LIVING WATER


I remembered a time I was extremely thirsty and I am not a fan of carbonated drinks as I really love fruit juice. I took a glass of juice hoping it would quench my thirst it did not work out. I felt probably my body wanted a change of what I had always given it and I tried taking a non-alcoholic wine but it seemed that the case worsened. I concluded to give carbonated drink a trial, the outcome was not pleasing at all. Immediately, something clicked in my head that I needed water, and just as I took water I felt nourished as ever before it was then I truly understood the essence of water in our daily activities.
Speaking of the fountain of living water, literally fountain means a source of something then living water sounds more like a water that continues to exist going by what the two word says. Interesting! I believe that when we hear of living water what comes to our head is how possible it is for a water to live? just as I was confused when I came across this at first but getting to read through (John chapter 4) I had a deeper meaning of what it was all about. looking at the text we saw how the Savior was thirsty, needed water and how he met the Samaritan woman and how she was more concerned about the status of the Savior not knowing that He was the source of the Living water. This is telling us that when we decide to get connected to the source of something it is rare that we get to lack that particular thing just like when we drill a borehole to have a direct access to water. Being connected to the fountain of Living water makes us have a direct source to the Father, who is Jesus himself and we will not run dry of anything be it spiritually or physical and we become a partaker of Him. No wonder the bible says "out of our belly shall flow rivers of Living water". When this happens we begin to exhibit the characteristics of Christ and people begin to even draw out of us. 
In conclusion, the fountain of living water is the Father Himself and we can only get connected by tapping into this fountain through getting to know the Father more and following his commandments.


PRAYER: Father, help me to stay connected to the fountain of living water Himself. Amen!!!

Workers in the vineyard

 When I was younger, I remembered visiting a marble company, There I saw different stages of how the marble is being processed and finally done. I remembered that the several stages in the production was allocated to different people to ensure a smooth and successful completion of the marble. While I was reading through the books of Mathew 20, the phrase workers in the vineyards caught my attention and this reminded me of my introductory story. Here, we are made to see an illustration of individuals working in a vineyard to achieve a common goal and how they are  paid the same wages at the end of the day. What does this mean to us as believers? just as the bible records it in 1 Cor 12: 1-27, we are all different parts of the same body working towards the same goal of populating the kingdom of God, we should not overestimate ourselves. In Mathew 20, the bible records it that those that have been working in the vineyard since dawn and those who just joined an hour to the end of ...

THE SECOND DEATH

I never knew a man could die twice. I mean someone giving up the ghost twice, This sounds very funny, unrealistic and at the same time it sounds strange. Everybody is aware of the situation when a man is proclaimed dead. First and foremost, such individual cannot breathe again, move his or her body in short the person is lifeless. When this tragic event occurs to an individual, such is to be taken away from his/her loved ones and buried. I am extremely sure this is the understanding most of us have when we hear that a person is dead. Talking of the second death, does it now means that such person who has earlier died will repeat the same process? A candid answer to this can be found in the books of revelations 20:14. We were made to understand what the second death indicates. Scripturally, it means the lake of fire. Here, we were told that anyone whose name will not be found in the book of Life such individual will experience the second death. How is it to for a person to have a portio...

UNDER THE SUN!

  A whole lot goes down under the sun,when I say under the sun i am referring to the whole earth as a whole. Imagine a  child is born into the world, coming out of the mother's womb empty and naked, after the child's birth he is weaned and goes through several stages before he finally starts his education, from primary to secondary and to higher institution he could even go to the length of taking professional exams and pursuing his career to the peak. After this his parents tells him to bring home a wife, he gets married start having kids and making his kids follow the same process as he has been brought up,when he grows old he dies and maybe wills his property to his children and he without no doubt knows what happens again after his demise as he will be buried empty not even with the certificates and qualifications he has attained. What a life!       This above example is typical of a successful human, several generation comes and goes. we all have fore fath...
