Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer!
Once again I want to continue teaching about the Good Shepherd.
The Bible says, " The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: HE LEADETH ME BESIDES STILL WATERS". ( Psalm 23:1-2)
The title of my message is: " WHY SHEEP NEED WATER".
Morden shepherds, describe their experiences with sheep and share how sheep need a lot of water to live normally. I have also noticed that when the sheep do not get the waters of the Spirit they need, they seek for it in all the wrong places.
This teaches us that every shepherd must minister and provide the water of the Holy Spirit for the sheep.
Pastors and Preachers must be spiritual and minister powerfully from the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The Bible also says, " For the kingdom of God is not word, but in power" ( 1 Corinthians 4:20 KJV).
The lack of anointed ministry from the pulpit is the reason why church members are found seeking solutions from occultic sources and witchcraft power.
Just as the physical body has a capacity and need for water, so the above Scripture points out to us clearly that the human soul has a capacity and need for the water of the Spirit of the eternal God.
When sheep are thirsty they become restless and set out in search of water. If they are not led to good water they will often end up drinking from the polluted pot holes where they pick up internal parasites such as nematodes, liver flukes, and other germs.
This reminds me of a bunch of sheep I watched one day which were being led down to a magnificent mountain stream.The snow - fed waters were flowing pure and clear and crystal clean between lovely banks of trees.
But on the way several stubborn ewes and their lambs stopped, instead, to drink from small, dirty, muddy pools beside the trail.
The water was filthy and polluted not only with the churned up mud from the passing sheep but even with the manure and urine of previous flocks that had passed that way. Still these stubborn sheep were quite sure it was the best drink obtainable. The water itself was filthy and unfit for them.
Much more, it was obviously contaminated with nematodes and liver fluke eggs that would eventually riddle them with internal parasites and diseases of destructive impact.
There are four main sources of water for sheep: springs, and streams, dew on the grass, dams and deep wells.
The body of an animal such as a sheep is composed of about 70 percent water on an average.
Water is used to maintain normal body metabolism; it is a portion of every cell, contributing to its turgity and normal life functions.
Water therefore determines the vitality, strength and vigour of the sheep. Water is life! Water is sustenance and necessary food for survival. So sheep without water will die. Even the flock of the Lord without spiritual power is dead.
Acts 10:38 says, "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him." Jesus the Good Shepherd preached under the influence of the Holy Spirit power, and would always provide spiritual water of the Holy Spirit to His sheep. Many believers are moving from church to church, seeking adequate spiritual water and anointing.
But there is a danger of falling into wrong traps, drinking contaminated water.
Learn to discern the right spiritual food, so that you may not attract evil spirits. ( 1 John 4:1-2) Jesus said to his disciples, " It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." ( John 6:63 KJV).
We all need the water of the Holy spirit, to move under the anointing and power of the Holy Ghost. ( Acts 1:8, 1 John 2:20).
May God richly bless you all!
