FOUNTAIN OF EVERLASTING LIFE

  

[Living Bread Nugget 0616]

 

 

REVELATIONS 22: 1-2 [KJV]

1   And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

 2  In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 

 

Jesus promised that anyone who comes to him and believes in him on earth, out of that person’s belly (inner heart) shall flow rivers of living water. This represents the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. The Holy Spirit rejuvenate and revives a spiritually dead man back to life on earth [John 7:38-39].

In Heaven, a child of God has free access to the Holy Spirit. No more sin, no more curse, no more sickness; nothing to hinder the flow of the Holy Spirit in the everlasting life of the believer. Wouldn’t that be refreshing and amazing? Ask for the infilling of the Holy Spirit and begin to enjoy a measure of his powerful presence in your life today.

 

 

Prayer Point

 

1.           Oh Lord let your Living water flow over my soul. Every situation that has troubled my heart be rolled away in Jesus Name.

 

2.                Come Holy Spirit; come in your power; I need your presence; revive my heart and revive your church today in Jesus Name.

COMMANDED BLESSINGS (I)

 

Scripture Reading: [Deut 28: 8]

The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

God’s blessing brings increase not decrease. The above verse summarizes a special type of uncommon blessing. God is good and benevolent to everyone having breath of life on the earth. That is why for example, the sun shines on both the righteous and the unrighteous. He also pours out his blessing because of his steadfast love and mercy, which he renews on the righteous everyday (Lam 3:22-23). Today we will look into commanded blessings and our anchor verse will be Deut 28:8.  Commanded blessings will be enjoyed by anyone who is aware of such a special type of blessing and diligently obeys the word of God. What does the word ‘command’ and ‘blessing’ mean?

 ‘Command’ means to have dominion, authority and power.  When we say the commander of a battalion for example, we know he has authority and power over his troops.  From the above scripture it is clear that the person issuing the command is God Himself who has total control over all things in heaven and on the earth. Everybody and everything. It is only what he says that stands. For example he established the earth by a changeless decree, as the hymn writer rightly captions.

‘Blessing’ in the scripture means gift from God due to his grace.

 

Commanded blessing comes from obedience (Deut 28). We can link the following to commanded blessings: 

1.                  Divine Health: Ex 15:26

 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

 2.         Longevity: Ex 20:12

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

3.                  Gift of children: Psalm 127:3

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

4.         Divine Prosperity: Mal 3: 11, a blessing for tithes and offerings to God.

11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

 

Now that we know what commanded blessings mean, we will look into it in more details later.

 

 

Prayer Points

1.    Oh Lord, command your blessings on my life. Let me enjoy your special blessings in Jesus Name.

2.      LORD, open your windows of heaven and rain down your blessings upon my life in Jesus Name. Amen.

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT SERIES: PERFECT PEACE (I)

 

Bible NUGGET 0608 [ISAIAH 26:3-4, KJV]

 

3Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

 4Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

 

Our God is a God of peace. Peace is a fruit of the Spirit that keeps our heart steady even in the midst of turbulence all around. When Jesus was in the midst of a storm on the sea, the bible says he was asleep. His disciples came to wake him up and exclaimed “master, do you not care that we are about to perish. Jesus simply got up, went to the side of the boat addressed the storm and said, peace be still.  Mark 4:37-39

 

37And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

 38And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

 39And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

 

You need to tell your soul from time to time peace be still, because a time will come when the enemy will stir you up and gauge the level of peace in the inside of you.  The Psalmist, David encouraged himself when he was downcast by reassuring his soul to hope and trust in the LORD. You can self-talk words of peace to yourself too like the Psalmist did. Ask yourself (your inner man) the same question and reassure your soul to hope in God. You will begin to enjoy his peace, joy and your life will become full of spiritual vitality.

 

Psalm 42:5

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

 

And in Psalm 42:11.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

 

Note that the Psalmist had to reassure himself twice in the same breath (chapter) to hope in God, and while waiting to continue a life of praise.

 

The opposite of peace of course is fear, and fear is of the devil. He also raises doubt in the heart of a man and wants you to doubt God’s word and your abilities. We are told to give no place to Satan because he is a master deceiver. It was the devil that deceived eve in the Garden of Eden and Man fell, lost the glory of God and became subject to the Law of sin and death. It was also the devil that filled the heart of Judas Iscariot to betray Jesus. Thank God because the death of Jesus was not in vain. He resurrected from the grave. And Jesus while on his earthly Ministry said my peace I leave with you. God wants you to triumph and enjoy his peace in all spheres of your life.

 

His word says,

and the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly [Rom 16:20, KJV].

 

The amplified version makes it clear in case you did not catch the word bruise. It says:

 

20And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. [Rom 16:20, KJV].

 

Is that not reassuring? God will take the responsibility for doing the crushing of Satan, not me or you, nor your parents or pastor. So relax, put your absolute faith in the LORD and you will surely see the salvation of God as he proves himself mighty on your behalf.

 

Prayer Points 0608

 

  1. Oh Lord, thank you for your peace. I proclaim peace over every situation in my life in Jesus Name. 
  2. Father Lord, fulfill your word in my life. Let your covenant of peace be my portion in Jesus Name. 
  3. I command every plan of the enemy concerning me to be ship wrecked. Satan you belong under my feet. Continue to remain under my feet as God crushes all your works in my life in Jesus Name. 
  4. Say with all energy you have within your inside seven times: “You my soul: I say hope in the LORD and see the salvation of God in the mighty Name of Jesus”. Amen.

God’s Blessings on the Head of the Righteous

 

Bible Nugget 0605 [psalm 92:12-15 NKJV]

 

12 The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
         He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
 13 Those who are planted in the house of the LORD
         Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
 14 They shall still bear fruit in old age;
         They shall be fresh and flourishing,
 15 To declare that the LORD is upright;
         He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

 

The desire of God is to glorify his children and distinguish them from the heathen. The heathen do not know God and therefore any prosperity they seem to have is ephemeral. It is short-lived. It is the memory or remembrance of the righteous that is blessed. Not the memory of the wicked. The above psalm  powerfully reminds us that we are blessed. Blessed beyond measure. As a tree of the LORD planted by the riverside we continue to flourish even though there is famine and drought all around us. Your are a trees of righteousness.  Even if things appear not to be working hang on to God and he will distinguish you. You will spring forth because God will take the Glory when you are blessed. The palm tree planted by the water has an inexhaustible source of water to keep its sap full. And a cedar tree will survive against all odds and adverse weather conditions. God’s blessings are upon your head and he will distinguish you in due time.

 

Isaiah 61:3

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
