PURE WATER* (THE END)


*DAILY DEW 10TH/NOVEMBER/2021*

*PURE WATER* (THE END)

_Key Bible Text:_
*In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.* (John 7:37-38 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

The essence of this teaching is to remind and explain to an extent the importance of the "pure water" that can positively impact our conscience and cleanse our bodies. Please understand that the washing of our bodies refers to the outward transformation of the acts of our bodies. 

Thus it is vital to explore other significant usage of the word _water_ Water as already explained refers to the word of God that cleanses us by first ridding us of evil conscience and then helping us conduct ourselves in line with our renewed minds. However, there is more. 

This then brings us to the very important *rivers of living water* By this reference, Jesus introduced a new symbolic meaning to the word, "water", that is, the Holy Spirit. (John 7:39). Notice that in John 7:39 where this direct connection was made between water and the Holy Spirit, there was need to make a clear reference that Jesus meant "rivers of living water" as a specific reference to the Holy Spirit. 

Here there is a slight difference that can be inferred with the phrase "washing of water" and "rivers of living water". The former may be from a fixed source whereas the latter is from a moving source. The Holy Spirit indeed, is ever moving, transforming and discipling men. 

Indeed, there is a relationship with water and the Holy Spirit. Looking at John 1:33 (KJV), which says *"And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost."* We can see that water baptism required total submergence of the individual. Likewise, the operation of the "rivers of living water", that is, the Holy Spirit, requires total yielded-ness and submergence or to be more accurate, submission. 

When we approach our High Priest, we must come as we have been invited to do, but we must come with readiness to allow both the pure water of the water and living water of the Spirit to run their course through our lives. Otherwise, even if we come, we would not know any change or difference in us. This is why many who "come" to Christ, and even attend church, are still without any meaningful transformation! 

_MEDITATION:_
*Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.* (Hebrews 3:12-13 (KJV))

WELCOME TO MISSIONS (VI)

*DAILY DEW 18TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO MISSIONS* (VI) _Key Bible Text:_ *And of making all people see how God's secret plan is to be put into effect. God, who is the Creator of all things, kept his secret hidden through all the past ages, in order that at the present time, by means of the church, the angelic rulers and powers in the heavenly world might learn of his wisdom in all its different forms.* (Ephesians 3:9-10(GNB))  _Bible Insight:_ But now for the sequel. They became so interested, so aroused, so awakened, that they came in ever-increasing numbers. Souls were saved and in a very short time every seat was taken. Before long thy had caught the vision and they began to give, to give as they had never given before, and in a few weeks, without having to say hardly anything about the local obligations, every debt was paid, every bill met, and from that day to this we have not known the meaning of the word “debt” in connection with our work. We discovered that w

PATRIOTISM & NATIONALISM

Image
*DAILY DEW 5TH/MAY/2021* *PATRIOTISM & NATIONALISM* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge." (Romans 10:1-2 (KJV))   _Bible Insight:_ Some have tried to distinguish between what is desirable and what is wrong by using two separate words, patriotism and nationalism. The value of the former has been shown by Lecky when he wrote in his _History of European Morals_ :  Patriotism leads men to subordinate their wishes to interests of the society in which they live. It extends the horizon of life, teaching men to dwell among the great men of the past, to derive their moral strength from the study of their heroic lives, to look forward continually, through the vistas of a distant future, to the welfare of an organization which will continue when they have passed away.  Nationalism, on the other hand, can be used to

Age Long Wisdom (III)

*DAILY DEW 13TH/NOVEMBER/2020* *Age Long Wisdom (III)* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And Jesus went on to say, And so I tell you: make friends for yourselves with worldly wealth, so that when it gives out, you will be welcomed in the eternal home."* (Luke 16:9) _Bible Insight:_ In soul winning, we need money! Cool money! The world needs the power of God but it takes engaging money to bring the Gospel close enough, so that the world can hear and see the power of God.  We need money and materials things to push the Gospel. In our key text, we see the need to use worldly wealth to make friends who will be brought closer to the opportunity to hear the Gospel and be saved. Use worldly wealth. You don't need to wait until you have enough of it. You will never have enough. However, you can decide to use the worldly wealth you have for soul winning. In the story of the good Samaritan, we see a Samaritan using his time, energy and resources to revive the man who was robbed and w
