Anyone who believes in me may come and drink. For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’ – John 7:38(NLT)
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?

It was harvest season, and the Jordan was overflowing its banks. But as soon as the feet of the priests who were carrying the Ark touched the water at the river’s edge, the water above that point began backing up a great distance away. -Joshua 3:15-16(NLT)
WHEN YOU STEP INTO WATER
A poem and essay by ILMA
When Peter saw Jesus walking on water amidst the storm
He wanted to follow Christ but fears started to form
As soon as he cried to him for help, he grabbed Peter
Will you trust God completely and step into the water?
When you take your step into obedience to Christ
You will see miracles and breakthroughs come into your life
Are you willing to take the step even amidst difficulties?
Will you decide to obey despite your fears and frailties?
________________________________________
There were major miracles that God used water to show his people his power. There was the River Jordan crossing of the Ark of the Covenant in the book of Joshua, the deliverance of Israelites from the Egyptians at the Red Sea in Exodus, the walking on water of Jesus amidst the storm and making Peter walk on water, the turning of the water(river) into blood by Moses was his first public miracle just as Jesus’ first public miracle was the turning water into wine at thee wedding at Cana. When we take a step into the water, we experience the impossible.
PRAYER
Give me courage to take the first step into the water, Lord.
REFLECTION
When did you take a step into the water amidst a storm of life?

Fresh Bubbling Spring poem devotional

Anyone who drinks this water will become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life. – John 4:13-14 (NLT)
FRESH BUBBLING SPRING
A poem and essay by ILMA
Water refreshes our bodies and souls
It cleanses us and later makes us whole
If you drink from the water that Jesus offer
You will be refreshed and endure to suffer.
It is a fresh bubbling spring deep within
It renews us and restores us from sin
Christ’s spring grants eternal life
It washes away all darkness and strife.
________________________________________
Water is essential in our lives. Without it, we will die and stay dirty. I remember back in my country of origin, when I lived in a studio and my landlady was so controlling, that she will just turn off the main power for water supply according to her whims. I would go crazy because I cannot wash clothes, dishes, or even take a shower or drink. It was a deprivation of my right to be clean and quench my thirst. I felt so dirty and thirsty
The bible tells us that anyone who drinks from the water that comes from Christ, will never be thirsty again. They will have eternal life. It is a fresh bubbling spring that brings them eternal life. It refreshes their whole being and quenches their thirst.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your living water.
REFLECTION
How has the fresh bubbling spring of Christ restored your life?
