THE WELL THAT NEVER RUNS DRY
There is a well that can never dry.
In John 4:14, the Bible says, “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”.
I will give you water to drink and you will never thirst, it will become a well of life. The first drink that you receive from the Lord comes from the outside, when it gets inside you, it becomes a well of water that will be springing up to eternal life.
There is a story about one king that went to another and said, “I want to settle here with you.” He was given a place.
He asked, can you give me just one palm tree? The host king said yes, have that one. And he went and cut one of the tender shoots, stucked it on the ground and said some incantations. The entire place was filled with thousands of palm trees. Thinking that he can now get enough palm fronds to build the city he wanted to build. When the host king saw the miracle that happened, he said, ‘you are too powerful for me. You can’t live near here, move a little further up’. As powerful as that second king was, he couldn’t produce palm trees until he was given one.
You can become a well that never runs dry, but first, you have to drink from the Lord Jesus Christ. In John 7:37-39, Jesus said if you come to me and drink and if you exercise your own faith, the well that is in you can become rivers.
I Thessalonians 5:23-24; Man is a trinity, Body, Soul and Spirit. The Spirit controls the soul and the body. If something starts from the spirit, it affects the soul and affects the body. It will first be felt inside, in the spirit; soon the brain which controls the soul will be affected. Not long after that, the body will also be affected.
In the same manner, when you drink the wine called the Holy Spirit, it will first of all, start within you in your spirit. Then it will affect your brain and you begin to think like God, and very soon, your body will be affected.
HOW DOES THE RIVER FLOW?
Matthew 12:34, says, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” The river is going to flow out of your mouth. It will flow in various forms. According to Ephesians 5:18-21, it will flow in form of psalms, hymns, spiritual songs; that is, songs that you sing in tongues.
When you are born again and have come to Jesus to drink, early in the morning, you will find yourself singing, you are working in the kitchen and you are singing. As you develop in the spirit, you will even be singing in tongues. Ephesians 5:18 says that you are constantly, to be drunk with the divine wine. In other words, there is a well that can never run dry that you can drink from any-time. You are supposed to be constantly drinking the Holy Ghost.
In John 6:63, the Lord Jesus Christ said, “the words I speak, they are spirit and they are life”. Because he was full of the Holy Spirit, each time he spoke, the rivers of life flowed out of his mouth. When you are constantly drunk with the Holy Spirit, the words coming out of your mouth will be words of life.
Ephesians 6:10, 18: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints”.
You will soon discover that your strength will be determined by how freely you allow this river flow out of you. I Thessalonians 5:16-19 says, “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the spirit”.
The Bible says:
(i) Rejoice forever more because the joy of the Lord is your strength.
(ii) Pray without ceasing
How can anyone pray without ceasing? How can the river flow forever more? How can I rejoice forever more? By praying in tongues. If you pray with understanding, no matter what you want to ask from God, by the time you pray for one hour, you must have exhausted all. How can you be praying and eating, except you pray in tongues. How can you be preparing a sermon and be praying? By praying in tongues. When you pray in tongues, your understanding is distinct. It is set apart, because it is your spirit that is praying. Then your understanding can do something else.
And then the Bible says, you must not hinder the flow of the Holy Spirit. Let the Holy Spirit keep on flowing as you rejoice evermore. As you pray without ceasing, let this river continue to flow.
Acts 2:13, “Others mocking said, these men are full of new wine”.
On the day of Pentecost, when the brethren were speaking in tongues, all the people who gathered from all nations, all tribes from all tongues, they all understood what the disciples were saying. God wants everyday to be a day of Pentecost, so that everyone will understand what God wants them to hear, so that thousands will come to the kingdom.
Acts. 2:41, “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls”.
On the day of Pentecost 3,000 souls were saved. Can you imagine if everyday 3,000 souls join our Church? I am sure we will have a good problem in our hand; how-to follow them up, care for them, how to get accommodation large enough to put them. Yet that is the wish of God for us.
Mark 16:18 says, “They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands in the sick, and they shall re-cover”.
If you do not hinder the flow of this river, the river will become so much that your mouth will not be big enough to allow them to gush out, so they will begin to find outlets through the pores in your body, through your sweat, so that when you begin to lay hands on the sick, power will flow through your sweat to the top of their heads, to give them healing. That is why you find somebody like Paul who lay his hands on handkerchief and send it to people and they will be healed.
Acts 19:11-12 says, “And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchief or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them”.
How come his handkerchief became so charged with power? Paul said, “I thank God I speak in tongues more than you all:” In other words, he allowed the rivers to flow more than anyone else. So they began to flow through the pores of his skin and very soon anything he touched became anointed. The same can be true of you.
PRAYER
Father, let today be another Pentecost for me. I want to be drunk with your Spirit. So that through me, rivers of living waters can flow, out of a well that can never run dry.
