RIVERS OF LIVING WATER
A poem and essay by ILMA
God promised believers access to living water
They may come and drink anytime hereafter
They will never go thirsty again after drinking it
They will be given a chance to have God’s own Spirit.
Anyone who believes in Jesus Christ will live
They are promised many gifts; they have to openly receive
The rivers of living water flows from God’s loving heart
Come and drink from it so you can be blessed and make a mark.

There are many promises that God has given those who love him. One of them is the rivers of living water. John 7:39 explains what living water is. When Jesus said that rivers of living water will flow from his heart, he was speaking of the Spirit who would be given to everyone believing in him. When he said these words to his disciples, he was still with them so the Spirit didn’t live in their hearts until Jesus gloriously resurrected.
It is sad to know that a lot of Christians do not avail of this rivers of living water and live hungry and thirsty lives. They chase dreams and carnal desires but miss out on the Holy Spirit’s presence in their hearts. Accept the invitation and you will have an overflow.
PRAYER
Help me to acknowledge your Spirit’s presence always.
REFLECTION
How has the river of living water flowed in your life?
