Theme: Isaiah 43:18-21 interpreted in relation to  Salvation. (Pt 6)
Sub Theme: Rivers in the Desert (pt 3)

Anchor Text: Isaiah 43:18&19
Reference Text: John 4:7-15

Some of us are familiar with the story in John 4:7-15. This story bears similarities with that in Genesis 24:17-24 when Abraham's servant went in search of a wife for Isaac. (That's another discussion for another day)

What we discover here in the book of John is that Jesus initiates this conversation. He asked her to give him water to drink. This is very vital because if you don't recognize your spiritual condition, it becomes difficult for you to desire salvation.

Since she felt she had water to give, she felt fine, she felt she even could deny the Master the water he sought for without knowing she was actually dry. The same goes for those still without Christ.

Jesus therefore had to make her see her dry state that was lacking the water that makes deserts full of rivers. He stated that He had living water. Meaning what tthe woman had was dead water that could only bring dryness. He called this living water the gift of God

The fact that salvation is the gift is corroborated by Ephesians 2:8. It says "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;" Therefore it is not worked for, neither is it earned. Rather it is given.

Jesus is the bringer of this gift and is in fact the gift as well. For God so loved you and He gave His Son Jesus.

We are still in the Easter season and the euphoria is still there. All over social media I see statuses and posts about 'He is risen', but the question is 'Has He risen in your heart?'. Or we are just following the trend lest we be left behind? Or is He only risen during this period and after that we bury Him back in the grave by the kind of lifestyle we live?

Do you truly have this living water of salvation that is a free gift or you're just dry with dead water like the Samaritan woman? Jesus said if you knew the gift of God and who it is that asked you 'Give me to deink', you would have asked of Him and He would give you living water.

Only the living water of Christ can prevent your dryness, why not ask of him today?

Stay Graced...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
