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

Topic: Love Not The World Text: 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him . John the Apostle had a personal relationship with Jesus during His time here on Earth. The relationship was so deep that he was referred to as "the beloved" of Jesus. Therefore, he understood what it means to love Jesus and be loved by Jesus. In his epistle, he decides to speak a great deal about love. Love is one of the major themes of this apostle. So much so it earned him the nickname 'The Apostle of love" John submission is that anyone who loves the world does not have the love of the Father. Which is why he encouraged the believers no to love the world, nor the things in it. Sadly, many believers have not only fallen in love with the world, but have laid in bed with the world. This is the tragedy of the 21st century church. The Greek word which is translated as the "world

Theme: Isaiah 43:18-21 interpreted in relation to  Salvation. (Pt 11) Sub Theme: All will Honour God Anchor Text: Isaiah 43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. Based on our anchor text, we discover that the reason the beast of the field, dragons and the owls would honour God was because He gave waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Like we have established already that the Holy Spirit is the One who causes waters in the wilderness (salvation) and rivers to flow in the desert (Holy Spirit baptism). These creatures mentioned weren't physical rather they were spiritual entities. They were the demonic forces that try to oppose God's rule on Earth. And in order for God to establish His authority, He needs to make use of human entities as well. So Jesus gave His disciples a glimpse of how this is to work even though the Ho
