Jacob's Well 🥵

Jacob's well will never do!

Good (insert time of day here😁). I trust you have had an amazing weekend. I truly appreciate your readership and trust that God is about to cause a shift in your life.

Jacob's well will never do? What do I mean by that? Well asides being lyrics to a powerful and I mean powerful! worship song on William McDowell's new album "The Cry", I mean the good things of this life will NEVER satisfy.

If we all look carefully and closely at our lives, we are likely to catch ourselves seeking validation, worth, joy and fulfilment from something or someone.

Deep down some of us find validation of self-worth in our career successes, relationships, academic achievements, accolades received for being talented and so on. I have just one question: How long can you run on that? How long can you go before you need another shot of "You are amazing" or "Congratulations " or "I love you" to keep going.

Ask yourself, "what is that thing, who is that person that I cannot do without?". If it's not Jesus then you're setting yourself up for serious heartache because everything else fails at one time or the other. Your spouse is not always going to say "I love you" when you need to hear it; your boss is not necessarily going to say "I appreciate your efforts, well done" when you need it the most. Only Jesus is there all day everyday. Only when He is your source can you be sure of unlimited supply of whatever you need every time.

The great news is He doesn't have the quantity you need of just ONE thing. He has ALL you need and more so you are safe with Him.

Again I say to you Jacob's well will never do so draw from Him. He will never run dry. You will never thirst again. Actually, in a sense you will thirst but you will experience a different kind: not one of dissatisfaction but one words cannot really capture. If you know you know😉.

If you are like me and sometimes Jesus is not first place, not to worry. He loves you and wants to help you love Him because that brings out the best you. Just have a conversation with our Friend. God bless you!

And besides, do you think you’re greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well? How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his animals enjoyed?” Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again.  But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”
John 4:12‭-‬14 NLT

Dear Lord, help us. Set us right in our hearts, minds and lives in Jesus' name.

Have a great week!🤗🤗

    Very apt word Nathan, Jacob's well is where we really need to draw all our satisfaction, joy and commendations from, He is always our present help and their is no condemnation in Him. He is always there for us. Always.

Hang In There!

Hello! It's been a really long time since I wrote anything and I'm glad to be able to bring you something from God today. Once in a while, I feel an impression on my spirit man to share a word which is as I've experienced, a word in season. This is one of those "once in a while-s". This season I just feel the need to tell you to hang in there my brother/sister. I feel very strongly the need to encourage you in WHATEVER situation you find yourself. But keep your hope to the end and you will experience life and deliverance. Matthew 24:13 TPT Brethren these are trying times for many people but we are encouraged in Scripture to hold on, to hang in there, to believe God, to believe that faithful is He that has promised, to believe that He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it. I encourage you to just trust. I know it is hard. You just finished with undergrad schooling and things are not looking up. Your "mates and juniors " see

The Following Signs 🏃🏾‍♂️

Hello there! It's a new week and I hope wherever you are reading from that you are investing in the things of the Spirit this season. Believe me, those who have and those who have not will be as distinct as night and day in the coming days. It is foolishness to have access to all that is God's and remain in the poverty that is the pleasure of the world. When last did you tell someone about Jesus? When last did you open your mouth or type to someone that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life and that NOBODY can come to the Father EXCEPT through Him.  Many believers do not remember the meaning of the word "believer" or from Whom that word in this context draws meaning.  Are you a believer? "Yes" In what/Whom do you believe? "Jesus"  Do you know what He said? "Yes" Do you believe what He said? "Yes" Do you know the implication of what He said? "Yes" With all these yeses, where is the evidence? Where is the evidence tha

Respect the Anointing

Heyyy folks, welcome to an unusual discussion at an unusual time of the week too👀. I hope your week has been good so far. I bet if anything came to mind when you saw the topic of today's post, it was "we must respect men of God" or "the anointing you don't respect cannot work for you". Those are good and true but not today's context. Today I'm asking you to respect the anointing on YOUR life. Every child of God has an anointing on their life. You are the anointed of God as long as you have professed Christ's Lordship in your life. Many christians live less than fulfilling lives because they walk ignorant of the anointing and its purpose. God wants to use us (YOU reading this and ME) for amazing things in this world: To heal the sick, raise the dead, to restore, to build, to demolish amongst other things. Many of us do not know or do not remember that we are on a mission. EVERY TIME YOU INHALE AND EXHALE, YOU OWE GOD YOUR SERVICE. Where am I
