He who believes in Me [who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me] as the Scripture has said, From his innermost being shall flow [continuously] springs and rivers of living water. John 7:38 AMPC
Few Lessons:
1. For all of God's promises, there are conditions that must fulfill in order to enjoy the benefits of the promises. We seem to be listening to the wrong messages these days, and it appears we have settled for blessings without accountability. We claim God's promises by speaking them out, not necessarily because our lives agree with our confession.
2. Check out one of the conditions for walking in God's blessings- believe, cleave to, trust in and rely on God. No other way will guarantee that you will enjoy God's favour. Until you walk in the right paths, you don't enjoy the right connections and you don't get the right benefits. Where are you walking? Are you fully involved in God's business, or are you a passerby, coming in at intervals to take what you need and going out again? Full Residence, not temporary squatting, is the way to fully enjoy what God has on offer.
3. When you are rightly connected, your innermost being will testify to the touch of God. Your life will showcase the glory of God. It will be a continuous flow, not an intermittent drip. It will be rivers and streams, showing abundance, not a small, unnoticeable flow. It will be a never-failing supply. It will not produce stale, smelly or brackish water, but it will be a spring, constantly refreshed and replenished and renewed, always giving out newness.
Is your life producing living water or producing deadness? Are you showing off God's amazing favour or you are busy trying to keep your head above water? Your survival is tied to God, not your family background or your bank account balance. Your eternity is determined by the one to whom you are connected to and drawing strength from now. His time of favour is here.
