Let the River of Life flow
In John 7:37-39, you will discover that the river of living water is the Holy Spirit. The power of the precious Holy Spirit inside of you will begin to produce wonders in your life starting from this moment. Sickness will be a thing of the past. You will be a healing agent in a sick world. When you lay your hand on the sick, they will recover. The power of the almighty will flow through you. You will be a worthy ambassador of Christ. That is abundant life. You will be an extension of his kingdom; the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Your abode will be that of open heavens; there, angels of God will ascend and descend in Jesus name.
There shall be no more Curse
“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.”Revelations 22:1-4, KJV
The secret of perennial fruitfulness is the river of life. Wherever the river flows, curse is destroyed; every curse of barrenness is destroyed. There will be abundance of fruits not just leaves, though there will be leaves but the leaves shall be for the healing of nations and not just for individuals. That is the type of impact that our connection to the river of life will bring. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of abundance, the spirit of truth, the spirit of consecration, the spirit of sanctification. Your consecration and sanctification are very important. Holy Spirit is not an anyhow spirit; he does not move in an atmosphere of defilement.
The bride’s message is not for everybody because it is not everybody that will be in the bride of Christ. If it is not the Holy Spirit, it is a contrary spirit and it is so easy to get into the slippery path of doing your own thing while thinking that you are doing the will of God. The Holy Spirit remains the spirit of sanctification.
“Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”Psalm 45:6-7, KJV
The Holy Spirit is the spirit of grace. He is the spirit of power and wisdom of God. He is the spirit of holiness. Without holiness, no one can see God. If your faith is not leading you to a holy God, you will end up an idolater. Your faith must make you a worshipper in spirit and in truth. The devil specializes in perversion; twisting things.
A lot of people are busy doing leafy activities without any fruit. The Bible says, by their fruit ye shall know them (Matt. 7:18).
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”Galatians 5:22, KJV
You can’t find any of these fruits in the metaphor being used in many Churches today and that is why they cannot raise worshippers. They can raise members but they cannot raise a disciple. They can raise workers but not worshippers because you cannot use a wrong benchmark and get the right result.
