TEXT: *Isaiah 12:3*
 
*Therefore with joy you will draw water From the wells of salvation.* 

Just as the woman of Samaria at the well  said to Jesus, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water?" In the same manner, you also cannot draw from the deep well of salvation without a well pulley.

Just as a well pulley (or bucket and rope) is needed to draw water from the well, so also Joy is needed to draw water from the wells of salvation.

In this case, joy is your well pulley ("drawer") with such you draw water from the well of salvation. Joy is an essential fruit of the Spirit. Without joy, you won't be able to access the crucial provisions that Salvation brings. This provision is the water you will draw with Pulley system of Joy from the wells of salvation.

God is the salvation, and there are many riches you are supposed to be drawing from him even as you delight yourself in Him.  
 *Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. (Psalms 37:4).* 

The joy we are talking about is not the one you express when God has done something for you, rather it is the joy that comes from God's presence. It is the joy that comes to you as a result of your delightsome in the LORD. It is the joy of God's salvation.  The psalmist says, *"You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of JOY...." (Psalms 16:11).* 

Whatever miracle you receive from the Lord will certainly gladens your heart for few days or at most for few months, and thereafter the happiness will fade away. But, if the joy you receive is that of His presence, that's a full joy that will never fizzle away except for sin. That's what the scripture calls the joy of His salvation.

David asked for the restoration of this in *Psalms 51:12- 'Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit'* 

As a believer, you've already got this joy in you, all you need do is to always abide in his presence, and you shall continually experience the fullness of His Joy.

Hence, it's your duty to always abide in God's presence that His Joy might continually fill your vessel, then you will be able to draw from the abundant wells of God's salvation.

 *BIBLE READING:*

 Philippians 4:4.

 *PRAYER FOCUS:* 

Father, I receive the Joy of the Lord in my heart today in Jesus name.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
