THE OVERFLOWING SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS OF GOD

03-28- 11 MI DAILY DEVOTION (Revelation 21:6; 22:1- 2; 17)
THE OVERFLOWING SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS OF GOD
6- “And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 1- And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2- 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. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”
Niagara Falls is one of the awesome and amazing creations of God. Everyone that I know of who came and visit the place has a great appreciation of the place and the falls. It’s really beautiful, huge and so great that even in winter time it still looks so beautiful. It’s so beautiful and amazing, be it in winter, summer, spring or fall; its beauty does not change. But one of the things that would really amaze you is the non-stop flow of the water in the falls. Niagara Falls is a place that I recommend to our visitors to come and visit if they are in New York City or in Niagara, Canada. The water is not just a small portion of water that flows from its source, but tons and tons of water that falls every minute and its 24/7. This should remind us of the greatness of God and the greatness of the spiritual blessings that we have from the Word of God. This morning, while I was having my physical exercise and while I was walking at the Park; I was reminded of the preachers and pastors who preaches every Wednesdays and Sundays and on weekdays for the Bible study. They never ran out of something to say or preach to their people or churches. And I was thinking of how the Lord blessed their heart and make their heart overflows with His spiritual blessings. Thus, they were able to share something different for the saints and sinners. The Lord refreshed them and gave them a new vision and message from His Word to encourage, challenge and to equip and edify the saints. I remember the words of King David in the Book of (Psalm 119:11; 16; 18) “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. 16- I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. 18- Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.”
A pastor or a Christian who is in constant communication with God in prayer and personal or private Bible study will never ran out of God’s spiritual blessings from His Word and in his/her heart. Notice what Jesus said in the Book of (John 4:13- 14) 13- “Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14- 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.  Also in (John 7:37- 38) 37- “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38- He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water”
