A New Wine

                                     

 Going through the books of Joel, The word new wine caught my attention. What does it symbolizes? The book of Joel made it known that scripturally, a new wine can be likened to Joy. In today's world where depression is raging amidst different age groups, it is an undeniable fact that almost everyone knows the importance of genuine joy to humanity. A feeling that is of an inestimable value!

Joel chapter 1 and 2 emphasizes on the reproach faced by the children of Israel due to their disobedience causing the new wine dry up which eventually led to spiritual declination and making them a prey in the hands of their enemies. This symbolically means due to our disobedience as children of God, we could loose our inheritance before Abba which we had from time being ( Joel 1:10).

Have we ever thought of a point in our lives, where things were so easy for us, or when we had that joy we could not explain and along the line we suddenly had to start looking for ways to make ourselves happy? This should not be the case! The bible records in psalm 16:11 what manner of joy exists in the presence of Abba.

The good news today is The Alpha and Omega, is calling us to Himself just as He did in (Joel 2:12), He is asking us to rend our hearts and seek him passionately. The reward for doing this is not farfetched as the Lord of Hosts says to restore the new wine, and guess what, we would no longer be a reproach among nations (Joel 2:25). Ultimately, we shall receive the spirit of God and manifestations of the spirit ( Joel 2:28).

In Conclusion brethren, I am calling as many of us who are not at our best, Some of us who feel low for whatsoever reason, I am imploring us to take the bold decision of taking back our new wine which involves fleeing from iniquities and seeking Abba passionately with our hearts, The end result is joy and restoration to our place of intimacy with the Father.


PRAYER POINT: Lord Jesus, I come to you with a broken heart, wherever I lack new wine, in your mercy restore it so I can be joyful and useful in your presence.. 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...
