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!!!

FUEL IT UP!!!

 When I was in primary school I was part of the girls guide. we usually go for weekend camping in any agreed location and I remember that whenever we were at camp, we always have the camp fire at night and everyone will be dancing around it. Whenever the fire goes down, we will put leaves and some other petrochemical substances to enable it burn well. Going through the books of Mathew 25, the story of the 10 virgins ignited a spark in me and I realized instantly that to keep anything burning, we need substances to fuel it up just as we did at the camp whenever the camp fire goes down. Also, most of us have generators in our various homes and I can imagine how much we would feel helpless when we cannot get fuel to power our generators especially when we have a very interesting show coming up or a football match and the electricity distribution company decided to keep the light off. Brethren, reading through Mathew 25: 1-13, we would have a better understanding of what it means to fu...

The Price of Destiny

                              In General terms, the price attached to a product or service is the value of such product or service. This explains why priority is placed on some products or services than the other. The fluctuation in exchange rate of different countries to another gives a deeper understanding of the value attached to different country's currencies. The economists say the price of a commodity confers value on such commodity. A person with a thousand dollar undoubtedly has more purchasing power than another with a thousand naira.  Speaking of what the price of destiny means, we can say it is the value of destiny, the sacrifice needed to pay before attaining a glorious destiny.When I mean sacrifice this is not some sort of ritual but what we have to let go or put in place to attain our glorious destinies because as children of God, we all are entitled to glorious destinies as this is His will fo...

WORSHIP THE CREATOR NOT THE CREATION

                                      The Bible records in the books of Genesis the account of the creation. In the very first verse of the first chapter, it says "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth". This is an automatic revelation that God is the Creator of all creations. We can simply say he is the brain behind every creation and invention in the entire universe. This is also supported by the Book of John chapter 1 which revealed God created everything in the world by His word and this same word was God Himself. What a marvel! Also, the book reveals that it was this same word that gave life to everything that was created, and this life was the light of men which means before His predominance there was darkness all over.  One thing that baffles me is that God made man the head of His creation, why do men after knowing this truth decide to worship the creations mo...
