It is By the Spirit

Then [God] said to me, “… these bones represent the people of Israel. … I will open your graves of exile and cause you to rise again. Then I will bring you back to the land of Israel…. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken, and I have done what I said. Yes, the LORD has spoken!’”

… I will gather the people of Israel from among the nations. I will bring them home to their own land from the places where they have been scattered. I will unify them into one nation on the mountains of Israel. One king will rule them all; no longer will they be divided into two nations or into two kingdoms. They will never again pollute themselves with their idols and vile images and rebellion, for I will save them from their sinful backsliding. I will cleanse them. Then they will truly be my people, and I will be their God. (Ezekiel 37:11-23)

It is by the spirit that we get promotion, works, wealth.

Teach yourself to linger in the spirit

"I THIRST" THE CISTERNS HOLD NO WATER

Many preachers have gathered people for themselves with the promise that they are taking the congregation to the promised land. It sadden me as I visit many churches to listen to how thirsty the LORD'S people are and the men of cloth provide them with no water the servants, few have the living water that is suppose to flow from them. A lot of churches have no water and yet they keep the LORD'S children camped somewhere and the keep telling them not to complain instead of teaching the people how to ask for water rather than testing the Lord.But as much as the children of Israel knew not how to ask for water (Just as we know not how to pray) when the children of Israel asked for water their priest then, Moses provided for them water thr the Lord.

Exodus 17:1-6

Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel journeyed by stages from the wilderness of Sin, according to the command of the LORD, and camped at Rephidim, and there was no water for the people to drink. Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, "Give us water that we may drink " And Moses said to them, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?" But the people thirsted there for water; and they grumbled against Moses and said, "Why, now, have you brought us up from Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?

Time and again it has been the congregation asking for water to drink and thro the old testament till we reach the new testament and we find the high priest requesting for water to drink, now that is something new...

John 4:7-14

There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink." For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?"

The lady did give Jesus some water to drink and Jesus also gave thy lady the living water and she should not thirst any more.

The next time Jesus thirsted, it was when he finished his work on the land, but what was he given when he thirsted? 

John 19:28 - 29
Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips.

Am asking the question, Jesus is requesting for water from you will you give him vinegar or what will you give

THE CISTERNS ARE BROKEN --- Part 1

Blessed be thy Lord.

Yesterday was a Holy Communion day at our Church. After the sermon, which was about Jabez and how he asked thy Lord that he may enlarge his territories .1 Chronicles 4:10

(When I read this scriptures I always note the context of the verse. The verse is between a genealogy of ancestors but out of that chapter of people the bible note that Jabez was more honorable than his brother. Jabez had a strong faith in God to pray a prayer that would counter the meaning of his name.  Jabez asked God, “’Keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!’”The prayer of Jabez is one tiny little verse of 1 Chronicles, but it is packed with a valuable testimony of Jabez’s understanding and loyalty to God.  May we all strive to pray like Jabez did.  Will expound on the lessons learned later)


Now after the service we were prepared for Holy communion and the verses were read and the cup and bread distributed. As it is norm, we are supposed to wait for one another so as we all can partake at the same time.
 As it was being distributed, I took the bread and I waited for the cup as I meditated the work that was done on the Calvary. After a short while the cup arrived.

The ones that prepare the cups always gets the best, but for one reason or another and this happened to be the cup I took but it was broken on the sides (had two cracks on the sides) and it was leaking, but this I noted after the one distributing had passed. The challenge I had was to either call thy person and exchange the cup or try and balance the cup to avoid the leaking, I choose the later but it proved a difficult task of holding the contents in.

As I continued balancing, I heard a clear voice say to me "the cisterns are broken"

Me: "What did you Say?" I asked again.
Voice: "The cisterns are broken"

Me: What do you mean?

And it was silent and a deep senses of "don't know what to do?" engulfed me.

After the service I went and shared with a close friend of mine whom when time allow we discuss the bible and the sermons in depth and try to get as much as we can from the scriptures about a particular sermon.

I narrated the happening and we started looking at the bible at what could broken cisterns mean.

 We found alot of verses talking about cisterns and I have tried to list them as I continue to pray and find out what thy Lord was telling me.

It is not about Adam generation, it is about Noah generation.

It is not about Adam, but it is about Jesus.

It not about the tree of life, it is about the tree of knowledge of good and bad.

Now Moses (House of Jacob -Levi) ordains Joshua (House of Ephraim).
