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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
