(Fifth part)
Memory verse (Ps23: 5): " You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over ".
God has a bigger plan for his church; his plan is abundance (John10: 10). David experienced something of this dimension and testified that God anointed him to overflowing measure (Ps23: 5). Jesus called people on the feast to come to him and drink and every one who would drink from him, rivers of living waters would flow out their innermost belly. God wants to fill you until you experience an overflow of his life.
Don’t limit yourself, hunger and thirst for more. Don’t settle just for some measure in your cup, stretch out until your cup runs over. When it comes to the Holy Spirit, Jesus does not sprinkle some drops on our foreheads, he does not give just a little drink, he does not give us a cup, or a little bottle but he baptizes us in the Holy Spirit, i.e. he immerses us in the river of the Holy Spirit. He immerses us in the river of the fire of the Holy Spirit. In Psalms he says: “ open your mouth wide and I will fill you ” (Ps81: 10). In other words, God is ready to fill your spirit until you overflow and immerse you until you are lost in the river of the Holy Spirit.
My brothers and sisters, what are you settling for? A cup? or just a measure, a little bottle, a little experience, a little move of His Spirit or just speaking with other tongues? I counsel you by the mercies of God, stretch out for more. Where have you stagnated in your walk with God? It is sad how dear saints just settle for religious traditions of men that are life less. Many dear servants of God have just settled to their own man made cisterns that contains no living water instead of seeking the Lord who is the source of this river of life (Jer2: 13). Apostle Paul was one man, who stretched out for more from God. I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.(Phil3: 14). God’s will for your life is overflow. When you live in over flow that’s when you’ll begin to be a blessing to other people around you. God has not called you just to be blessed but to be a blessing to other and this comes when you live in overflow. Go for more. Go for overflow.
