37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying,

38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall
flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should

glorified.)

MESSAGE
Our Lord Jesus Christ is so awesome; not only does He provide peace, joy,
promotion, victory and rest, He also gives satisfaction. The Bible in John 7 : 37
says :
“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.”
Jesus Christ is the true thirst-quencher. He knows what you need and has it in
abundance. He is willing to quench that thirst of yours if only you would take
it to Him. Today, many people realise that they need something in their life.
They can feel unexplainable hunger pangs within their souls and are gripped
with a strong thirst for something inside of them. But because they do not
really know what can quench their thirst and satisfy their hunger, they use
just about anything to try to fill this void. No human, material or spiritual
substitute can fill the vacuum that God has reserved for Himself inside of you.
When God created you; He made space specially for Himself inside you; no one
but Him is to occupy this space. Unfortunately, many people have allowed other
things to enter into that space. This amounts to putting a square peg in a
round hole: it can never fit!
That thirst to serve God was put inside you by God. He alone can quench it.
Becoming religious cannot satisfy that thirst. All you have to do is to repent of
your sins, ask for God’s forgiveness and invite Jesus Christ to live inside you,
and He will completely fill that space like a round peg in a round hole! If you
understand John 1 : 9, you will realise that Jesus Christ has a role to play in
the life of every human being He created. Until He lights you up, you will remain
in darkness. No religion can light you up! This is why Colossians 2 : 10 says :
“And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.”
This scripture reveals that without Jesus Christ, no human being is complete.
It was the need for completion that necessitated the removal of a rib from
Adam to form Eve. Every human being was created incomplete, and it is only by
receiving Jesus that they become complete and whole. Living without Jesus is
like trying to drive a car without the control of steering wheel. Such a car
would be out of control. It will eventually crash and become a wreck! Why not
allow the Controller of the universe to take over your “tiny” life today?
ACTION POINT :
Entrust your life into the same hands that control the universe today.
