ENGAGING THE FINAL SOLUTION

John 4:15,KJV

"The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. "

A thirst will continue until you engage the final remedy for such thirst. That's why that woman at the well asked diligently for that water that saves one from further stress.

She wanted to be once and for all satisfied and so requested for the advertised water Jesus called the living water. This living water is reputed to give life. It could cause an unborn spirit to be born anew with impartation of the Father's life. However, Jesus was first misconceived by this woman. 

John 4:10-11,KJV

"Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.  4:11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

This woman first thought it was the day to day ordinary water they fetch at that well Jesus was referring to. Jesus however was talking of the better water that relinquishes all thirst and search for who could save. The living water advertised by Jesus is the kind that gives rest to the wandering soul under the care of a good saviour which is Jesus Christ Himself. The living water is given to thirsty, searching and enquiring hearts at salvation. 

John 4:13,KJV

"Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

What water was Jesus referring to? The water the woman misconceived for the living water. The water she said Jesus will need a fetcher to fetch. Jesus had to redirect her gaze to what the real water that quenches desire for rest, peace, satisfaction etc was. Jesus said "there are solutions that are not solutions at all. Why are they not solution at all? It's because they don't treat the matter at its root but at its shoot. They only give temporary offer." The water Jesus was debunking was the water that quenches physical thirst and not spiritual thirst. Such water can't make a man see God. It can only quench natural thirst. It doesn't surpass that. No matter the gallons of such water taken from any source will still leave the host with inner agitations and questions on life, death and eternity. What is physical can only cure physical needs. Why use then what is physical to replace and meet the need of what is spiritual?

However, what about the better water?

John 4:14,KJV

"But whosoever drinketh 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.

Now, look at the guarantee of the better water. It quenches a thirst for a further saviour after one might have received Jesus at salvation. The Spirit comes in there and dwells in you which makes you a man that can draw water from your own personal well of salvation for personal use with assurance to be with the Lord if death or rapture come having being born again. Once God's life is in you, you'll be able to produce water in and out of season that will quench your spiritual needs. This water enhances you to benefit from the usefulness of personal fellowship with God.

Why did I call it the final solution? It is because no desirous heart will know rest until he takes the living water. He will still be thirsty and in search of a saviour until then. Living water is the water above all other waters. That's the water that gives what other waters, either well, river, or tap water etc can't give. Let all sinners receive Jesus into their lives today as they forsake their sins. 

Also, you must learn to go to the root of matters and engage the final solution like Jesus recommended for this woman. There are quick treatment you could give to things. Meanwhile that's not going to do. It will only give temporary quenching of desire for awhile. You will soon find yourself relapsing into further journey in search of what quenches desire and actually eliminates the problem. An attempt to find rest by drinking to stupor isn't the final solution. Come to the Saviour you who are heavenly burdened and you shall find rest is the solution.

You must therefore know that a psychologist's counsel to an unrest mind can never substitute the yearning of his soul for the Word of God that saves. Until he comes to Jesus, he'll still be feeling life doesn't worth it. A man demonized and who does terrible things can't be counselled by his parents to stop that act and have it finally stopped. They will have to cast out the demon before such spirit propelling such act could be disengaged and its host finally saved. Unless you stand independently and given a job that could give you food, being tied to another's apron won't do.  Please, engage the final solution.

PRAYER: Lord, we pray that you'll open the eyes of sinners to what they should esteem and prioritize - seeing Jesus as their immediate needed Saviour.  Father, give me a final solution on a bothering problem.

WHO WAS SAID TO DELIVER THE RIGHTEOUS FROM THEM ALL?

Psalms 34:19,KJV

"Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all."

Do you know what rejoices my heart, makes me sit comfortably and assures my heart calmly that I won't perish? It's the truth that says "the duty of rescuing me will not be done by any other but by God Himself."

That place said " The Lord shall deliver him." It wasn't an army general that was mentioned but the Lord God of hosts of heaven. The One whom nothing is difficult for. As for man, many things are difficult for him. Many things pose challenges to him. He is in danger and elimination a lot. He knows he's not sufficient. That's why he seeks after gods that mutters who are not indeed God. That's in his bid to stay secured too.

And those gods? They have ears but can't hear. They have mouth but can't speak. It's just a myth. It's a fabricated lie that those gods came from heaven. These were either men who were heroic and so a legend was made out of them or just some idols carved out to seek after as gods.

Look at Moses, the one who understood the rudiments of this message. He refused to go unless God Himself goes with them. He must have stumbled on this truth that there is no other person who could execute perfectly a task but God. God can't do a work and yet not perfect it.

Exodus 33:15,KJV

"And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence."

Things don't get marred in God's hands. If it does at all, He refashions it into that which seems good in His sight again.

If it were the president of my nation or any of the world power that place mentioned, I'll be shaken and would have had cause to doubt my deliverance without being singed let alone torn. If I was promised rescue by the US Army and the leading security company on earth, I should still be shivering.

Why? All of them are humans. They are prone to failure. They are vulnerable to frailties. Have you not heard a case of a man who promised another man (a less privileged) money but died before next day? Isn't the hope of the man assured broken into pieces? Surely torn asunder!

I believe God will see me through and will keep that which I have committed unto Him. I'm assured 100% like Paul if my rescue is hanged on God. You too, believe same.

II Timothy 1:12,KJV

"For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day."

Why did I believe strongly and wholly in Him. Look at it here:

Numbers 23:19,KJV

"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"

This is where the difference lies. God is a sure anchor. The anchor of man might loose without notifying me. Even if he notifies me, I'll still remain helpless. For what purpose have I called for help at the first instance?  Unforseen contingencies could hit the man that has been sent to rescue and see to my needs. At that time, he'll love himself first before loving me. Before he turns back, one might have drowned.

I therefore need a man whom nothing could catch up with, hinder or deter from saving me. I want a man that traffic jam, lack of fund, rain etc can't stop from digging me out in one piece. That person is God. I can never mistaken any man for Him.

PRAYER: Lord, I have confident in You as my present help in trouble.

Wholeness always!

WHO AMONG YOU IS QUALIFIED? 

John 8:7,KJV

"So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."

The issue of qualification is being emphasised here. Qualification is an important thing. Unless you're qualified, has passed the test and excel in an area where you're being questioned, you might not be fit to do what you should do.

A woman was caught in the very act of adultery. She was brought to Jesus and a demand was made that she should be stoned to death according to the Mosaic law. However, they requested of Jesus what His own opinion was. Jesus then brought in the issue of qualification. He told them that it's not all of them that might be able to throw the stone except those ones that have not sinned before. Jesus checked them out. They were tested and to my utmost surprise, all of them failed. None of them passed the test of throwing even a singular stone.

This is exactly how people are failing in life. Many people look like the qualified but aren't qualified. They have the title but don't have the life. What will show them as not having the qualification required for the task to be done will appear one day.

Imagine the number of people who had been protesting to get the job done. They wanted to throw stones but what happened after they  were put to test? All of them left from the eldest to the youngest. Their hearts convicted them. None of them passed to cast the stone. They were all found wanting after being weighed. They were found unfit despite their own confessions to be able to do the job. Some of them might have probably picked up stones (the tool) to get the job done (execute the woman) but all was dropped eventually because they were disqualified. They got ready (for stoning) but were not ready indeed.

May you be found worthy for the task. May you not be exposed as incapable or deficient in getting the job done after examination.

PRAYER: Lord, I purge myself of any sin as a minister that will deny my entrance into a kingdom task. I shall not be found wanting or barricaded against in doing a God given task. I shall pass the test and be the right man for the job.

THE "ALL THINGS WELL" GOD

Read Mark 7:32-37

Mark 7:37, KJV

"And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak."

There's a God that does it all. Once He comes for you, He doesn't give attention to only one, He does it all. If He meets ten things as need in your life to be attended to, He won't attempt some and jettison others. 

A deaf and dumb was brought to Jesus with pleads that He should put His hand on him. They knew what God could wrath through Jesus before they requested Him putting His hand on him. Do you think they'll tell an ordinary fellow that? Having a revelation of the God that does miracle is key to receiving miracle. That statement of theirs reveals their assurance in Jesus and the truth that miracles can be received. 

Just as they had exercised their faith, the fellow was healed. He speaks and he hears now. To this miracle, the crowd said, "He has done all things well, He makes both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak."

How many problem did this fellow had? Two! Did Jesus only cure him of one or both? You see, God when He does His things settles it completely. He who created the mouth will in addition create with it what the mouth will eat. I heard a verse now. Here is it:

1 Corinthians 10:13, KJV

"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."

The temptation may be present but the way of escape will be opened also. All things well God! Everything is well God! He repairs all. He doesn't hesitate in doing one and leaving the other to still bother you. I pray that God will make all things well in your life. The numerousness of your need doesn't pose challenge to God. He'll go round them and do all things well. All things has its place and He'll put each in its place. 

I heard of a brother who got a partial scholarship to go study abroad. While on the study, he needed to balance up. He had no where to go but to turn to his pastor. The pastor spoke to another brother of their denomination who's also abroad to lend him the money and that he'll pay later. That one did. As the lender knelt to pray one day, God told him he should let the money go and that that was His money for that brother He kept with him.

That's how He that gave a partial scholarship to that brother cleared the payment also. Has He not done all things well? Did He not give a scholarship and also finance it? 

So, let your mind be at rest. If God is telling you to go ahead on a matter, it has been financed. Only that God is not showing you the prove or receipt of it being financed. Preparation is always in place and ahead for you. Do you receive that? Even if you have twin matters at hand to settle, believe that God will attend to all. May your needs be met. May you also look up to heaven in awesome wonder that God has done all things well by listing the numerous things He has done for you. May you be shocked and in gratitude say, "what a thing, what a God who has done all things well."

For those who are deaf and dumb this morning, may He that settled these two related problems and attracted the "all things well testimony" touch you. I say, be opened and let the string of your tongue be loosed."

PRAYER: When you send people, you go with them. Show me your commitment Lord. Meet my numerous needs and let me know You as "All things well God!"

WHEN THE LORD BRINGS IT TO YOU

READ Genesis 27:1-25

Genesis 27:20, KJV

"And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me."

I pray for you, the Lord will bring it to you. When the Lord brings it to you, you will locate it easily and your time of wandering shall be saved. 

Isaac was old and he knew not the day of his death. To this end, he called Esau his son to go hunting and fetch him meat such as he liked for preparation of a delicious meal. He'll need to bless him before his death. They wouldn't know that Rebekah spies on them and has heard all. 

While Isaac was jealous for Esau, Rebekah was concerned for Jacob. They each have their team member and one they were loyal to. May you not lack your man. It was Jacob's man (her mother) that helped him or else destiny blessing would have jumped him over. May God give you those who will watch your back and the back door for you. That was Jacob's advantage in today's reading. It's also your leverage in this life.

Where critical decisions will be taken, may you have those that will fight for you.  On that note, Rebekah therefore instructed Jacob to bring two kids from the flock which she'll prepare into the kind of meal Isaac loved. Jacob's fear was eliminated and this plan was carried out. When Jacob got the food ready for Isaac, Isaac was shocked at how the process of getting a bush meat could have been so shortened for anyone. So, he asked, "how is it that you were so quick about it?" That question shows Isaac was not ignorant of how tedious hunting for animals could be. It was also a means of verifying who came. Jacob however said one thing that my emphasis will be on today. He said, "because the Lord thy God brought it to me."

We knew God didn't bring anything to Jacob because he didn't even go hunting. He only lied since the animals he prepared were domesticated animals. However, let's leave all those to concentrate on the feedback of Jacob to his father which is actually a possibility in any Christian's life. 

Do you know God could bring things to you? We all know that it took Esau a considerable longer time before he appeared before Jacob. What if as soon as he got to the wild, he didn't have to spend much time but a shorter one than he spent before God brings it to him.

People of God, God is still in the business of bringing it to His children. Twenty of you can be primary school mates. You started all together from the beginning but after twenty five years, some of you might have gotten why they're in this wild (life or earth) while others are still roaming around to find a perfect game or even find their foot. When you meet some of them and ask, how are you doing? How's family? They'll have evidences to show for it. They already have those things and on every matter of life have been helped greatly like the Lord helped Uzziah. If it's on purpose, they're already functioning big time in the anointing of their callings and details of their careers. Nothing is just lacking because their names are fledgling brands that are now being noised around at their level. When God brings it to you, struggle is eliminated. The house some are not eating but saving heavily to build can be given you. What the world is dying to have, cutting corners to achieve all can be delivered at your doorstep. Gift and inheritance are two means through which God can bring it to you apart from reaping a bumper harvest in what your hand has found to do which can give you quick acceleration to achieve. Favour is another way of quickly gathering. 

I pray for you that when you go out in the morning to fetch what to eat, it will quickly come to you. While scouting for what to bring home, you won't meet a predator. All the things that a man needs to be a man or woman in this life, may the Lord God of Israel, Isaac and Jacob betray them into your hands so that your journey will be quicker over your mates. Receive it.

PRAYER: God, you're a betrayer and deliverer of good things needed for life unto my bosom; give to me on time.

THE HEART THAT GOES WITH YOU

READ II Kings 5:1-27

II Kings 5:26, KJV

"And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?"

Where can we go from the presence of God? Psalm 139 is a psalm of discovery that shows our not being able to escape from the Lord.

Psalms 139:2-3, KJV

"2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways".

God is the one that compasses your path. He is the God that surrounds you. In today's passage, Gehazi runs after Naaman to demand of him things that his master, Elisha had rejected after Naaman was healed of leprosy. After his arrival back to the master, Elisha requested of him where he was coming from. He lied and said " thy servant went no whither (II Kings 5:25, KJV).

Elisha then replied, "went not mine heart with thee when the man alight from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to collect this and that?" The following consequence is that Gehazi is cursed and he carries the leprosy of Naaman.

You should know that God's eyes follows you all-around. There is nothing done in secret that won't be made manifest is what the Bible says. As a child of light therefore, let your deeds be wrought in God so that you won't fear being exposed. If you have good deeds, you'll want to manifest it in light/public but if your deeds are evil, you'll want darkness to cover you.  Secret sins and abominable deeds are really irritants to the Lord. You shouldn't indulge in any because God's heart and eyes would always go with you. Your conscience would bear you witness and call you to questions and order.  

There's no time like any other to stop secret sins and come to repentance also than now. It is God before whom we all have to do. Fear Him as one that knows all, sees all and surrounds you about. Decide today not to carry any consequence resulting from secret sins like that of Gehazi. When your ways are straight, you purchase for yourself clear conscience before men and God. Gehazi though lied he goes no where that day knew deep down that his conscience bears him witness. As he denies his master, his heart tells him, "you lie". Your first judge as you go is your heart. So, pay attention. 

PRAYER: I break loose from any habitual sin. I shall keep no secret sin that would bring me losses, harm or death. I'm a child of light and I manifest so.

WHY HE COULDN'T APPRECIATE HER LIKE THE BEGINNING

WHY HE COULDN'T APPRECIATE HER LIKE THE BEGINNING - Part 1

There's love of the beginning. Yea, this love has not been tested or proven. This beginning love that we call love at times may not be love as well but it can be love also. If it is not what it shouldn't be, but manifests as straight love, then you can expect some manifestations.

When a man and a woman falls in love, or goes into courtship especially if it is both their first time (having not burnt their fingers in any fire of relationship before), you'll observe exhilarant fire of love burning. You'll see zeal and activities that many waters can't drown. When fuel is poured into a burning fire, what happens? It glows the more. That's the nature of that first love. It's always glowing and never tired. Ups and downs of life, familiarity, offences, awareness and  fretting to meet responsibility haven't yet matched on it. So, it just survives naturally. You can call it the grasses two Loxodonto africana (African elephants) haven't fought on. The grasses don't seem to have suffered being trodden. 

This first love is characterized by long interaction at the expense of some other things, extraordinary kindness, longsuffering and burden bearing etc. Both of them will just understand themselves like that. No one will want to act the stubborn goat's role. 

Now, if their courtship quickly wraps up into marriage, let's say within six or one year of engagement, this fire of first love will still continue to burn aglow and it can still do for some time. Being with a person for a year isn't yet enough to cause fatigue because both of you are still opening new pages of your stocks to each other. There are still inventions and innovations to impress yourselves with without taking thought for it. Inspiration will aid you more. By practical practicality and experiential experience at my entry level, I know how this thing I'm describing works. 

God forbid, let's assume their courtship now tarries for years that are beginning to grow beard like 3 upward, then both of them may begin to lose the joy of the first love. Do you want to know why? What we first meet always makes us drunk. It always do us as if we should die there and be held at its court. When I look at many brethren who are just engaged around me, I always have cause to glorify God for them that they're passing through their first phase where ideas, stimulations of love, kind utterances etc come easily without incentive or an external morale. At this place, both of you are still seeking to prove yourselves to each other - that I am a responsible man and that I'm an obedient lady. So, arguments or critical ones are far fetched from you. Not even one abuse or threat to retaliate an act. Rejoice in this your day like Jesus said of John's light.

John 5:35, KJV

"He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light."

Like John's, just know rejoicing in that natural period of love is for a season except for rejoicing in its artificial creation which will then come by your own hard work (being an active and not a benched player). This season of zealous joy is given also to balance the strenuous moments that may later dot your journey. That's why an Elijah must eat double when double is available for the journey. That way, you must throw yourself to the escalation of all the benefits that zealous love has to offer. Like we collect cocoa pods without leaving one behind, clean-gather all the benefits of that period.  

After both of you might have known each other very well with nothing hidden again (with or without sex; married or engaged), you'll become stiff. Some in their relationship (courtship or marriage) can go this mile than others. While this first joy ended within a short while of some people's relationship (either as married or engaged), it continues to heat more for like say 3-4 years for some before they enter into the phase of "by power and might." The first is by "spirit's phase." Acts of love just comes naturally to you to do. Being sacrificial doesn't look burdening then. You'll even boast of your being caring, obedient or sweet.

When your spouse looks as if he's no longer caring however, both of you have found yourselves out. That thing has crept in. That nature of man that always expend the best at the beginning and never takes thought to reserve the best for the end has crawled over you. That shows you're blood and flesh created to be man indeed. Jesus however acted contrarily to this in John 2 and it's only a man with the insights and practicality of how the best can be reserved for latter time that will pass.

John 2:10, KJV

"And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now."

When there's nothing suppressing love in you, it is easier expressing it. Even the Psalmist said, 

Psalms 42:5, KJV

"Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me?..."

Have you seen a reed before or a plant that couldn't stand erect? Such bows down. That status depicts depression, burdening, tiredness etc. If anyone gets here, their once upon charming spouse that they eulogize day and night may seem to have been evacuated from the centre stage. The man whose voice they want to hear for assurance now becomes dung to them. It's not their intentional doing but what it means being just a man is just catching up with them. 

At this stage also, your spouse may no longer be the thought entering your mind often. It may be work, other crush or obsession (person or thing). In his or her mind, "I've possessed you already. If you've been this secured, why run around like a fellow still seeking approval."

Don't be deceived by the illusion of a "better spouse" also, whom if you've gone for, same thing would have repeated itself. Aren't you still getting it that all men and women are the same?

You can also ask those who get to the end of their zealous stage, their mind begins to look for the next challenge. You know, a muse. Something to spend yourself on before having open eyes and waken sense again. This is usually practiced by men and that has made many men raiders of the treasure trove who just check in today and check out to check in with another tomorrow.

Somehow also to them, their wives may just have lost that savour which could be felt in how poorly they adore her now. A fellow that's always verbose whenever you send him pictures that's now doing summary writing is revealing a testimony of what can catch up with men. Yet I heard, 

Isaiah 40:30-31, KJV

"30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

The end of zealous love and the beginning of serious love is where you'll begin to know what it means to be loyal to the marriage vow that says, "forsaking others to cling to you, both in convenience or inconvenience; health or sickness etc" Marriage vow is one of the dangerous vows in the world because as soon as you take it (just like any other vow), you can't but be tried and be at the peril of violating it. Meanwhile, what is permitted for others isn't so for you. You're called to make it true. 

The stage where natural glowing fire of love ceases burning is natural and would come to anyone in relationship. Despite the experience of this stage, you can intentionally create by effort the glowing of this joy and love by doing simple acts like:

a. Word of affirmation

b. Gift
