BROKEN CISTERN


A cistern biblically is more like a pit dug to access or to hold water. In the book of Jeremiah chapter 2:13, it was recorded that the so-called children of God were caught up in the act of making a broken cistern for themselves which cannot hold water. I want to believe when a thing cannot fulfill its aim of being set up, it can then be agreed upon that such a thing is useless and does not require much of our time. Imagine exercising a lot of energy to dig a well and then water gets dried up in it almost every day and so what is the essence, when one can easily get a drilling machine to tap into the source of water. Abba spoke to prophet Jeremiah to speak to the people and inquire why are they exercising such futile energy when they can easily turn to the fountain of living water. Their sins had blinded them and they had forgotten their creator.
This scenario tells about the impact of water even in our day-to-day activities. I doubt if any human can survive without water. Spiritually water indicates the Spirit of the Living God no wonder what we have in John 7:38, there are so many things in life we need that are essential to our general well being but how can we forsake the One that owns and control the entire universe and be making out unfruitful ways for ourselves? not to be blunt, it would not work just like how the broken cistern cannot retain water.
Beloved, I am writing to us today because I am aware that there are so many needs we want to be accomplished be it spiritually, academically, relationship-wise, financially, career-wise, and so on but then can we take a halt and do away with broken cisterns? can we run to the fountain of living water and be filled with His Spirit and watch how all our other needs will be fulfilled easily. broken cisterns come in the form of sins generally and importantly forsaking the way and the will of Abba for our lives and also trying to make a path which is not approved by the Father for ourselves.
In conclusion beloved, I am imploring us to please do away with broken cisterns just as Abba told prophet Jeremiah to tell the people to turn to Him as they witnessed a lot of setbacks trying to figure it out themselves. Let us make that decision today that we are doing away with broken cisterns and enjoy how Abba starts afresh with our souls and I pray as we make up our minds to do so, the Lord will help us. Amen

PRAYER: Abba, enough of me stressing myself on what You can easily do for me, Pls come to my aid and help me. AMEN

THANKS FOR READING!!!

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...

God's Laws Versus God's Promise

A father who lives in the diaspora once had a son and for some reasons his son cannot come along with him. Nevertheless, he kept on investing and was lucrative in his business. This man got a guardian to keep his son in track while he was away and he wrote his will so that when he is away permanently his possession could be given to his child by the guardian on reaching a specified age written in his will. He did this so that the child could be rightly led and could have come of age not to mismanage the properties. Going through the books of Galatians, I had a deeper understanding of God's laws and God's promises. Firstly, we have sins, laws and promises. Literally, Sin is anything detestable to God, God's laws are the guidance from God given alongside the promise to reveal to people their sins (Gal 3:19). God's law was given until the fulfilment of the promise. God's promise is simply grace in the human form of Christ Jesus. Going back to my introductory story, the...

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...
