Bishop Ewo from Nigeria.
Joh 7:37 And in the last day of the great feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
Joh 7:38 He who believes on Me, as the Scripture has said, “Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”
Joh 7:39 (But He spoke this about the Spirit, which they who believed on Him should receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
We should have Rivers of living water flowing through us. We should live life that overflows with the Holy Spirit, free of struggle.
Mat 11:28 Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take My yoke on you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest to your souls.
Mat 11:30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.
My yoke is easy My burden is light. Life should be free of struggle filled with the Holy Spirit. Read, pray, obey without struggle.
Joh 4:14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
The well is life. The Spirit flows like a river of water through us. Not just for me but for others.
A well is stagnant and not exciting, but a river flows clean clear and with excitement. It flows and touches other people. Life is meant to be like a river, full of life.
I need to have an overflowing of the Holy Spirit in me.
Peter was changed at Pentecost from one who denied Christ, to a river of living water flowing freely to others, touching 5,000 others for Christ.
I can not minister effectively without the power of the Holy Spirit flowing freely through me. Make the Holy Spirit my friend. There is no place for myself without Him.
If I thirst let me come to the well and drink freely. Then the fullness of the Holy Spirit will flow through me as a river. Not my own strength but the Spirit of God.
With the Spirit my strength and energy will build up. I will no longer walk with struggles; He makes the difference in my life.
“Come to me and drink” – “Out of my belly will flow rivers of living water.”
Grace, Love, Power. Renew with the power of the Holy Spirit daily. It is a daily walk with Him, not just a one time fill-er-up thing. Daily be filled with the Holy Spirit.
That which I do not desire, I will not attract. Desire the fullness of the Holy Spirit. He will change my weakness into strength; only by the power of the Holy Spirit that works in me.
Desire Him into my life day by day. Ask Him to fill me to overflowing and to rule my life. Drink deeply, and then I will be an instrument of God.
God saved me to GO, not for salvation for myself. I have been saved to influence society.
Do people know me as a child of God where I work? Live?
I am to make a difference to my generation.
Act 1:8 But you shall receive power, the Holy Spirit coming upon you. And you shall be witnesses to Me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
