You are welcome to today's podcast brought to you by the Messenjah. I am Moses Oladimeji and I am your host on this platform. This is a platform dedicated to dispelling false beliefs and establishing the truth from the Word of God.

Today, we shall be concluding our series: "THE ALL-ROUND PROMISES OF GOD TO ME". Our anchor Scripture remains Isaiah 58:11

"And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not."

In this concluding session, we shall consider the topic "Living Spring: How God’s Word Quenches Our Thirst and Nourishes Our Soul"  In today's episode We'll look at the concluding part of Isaiah 58:11 'and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not."

What a promise we have received from God. And thou shalt be like a watered garden. The word thou there referred to you, I mean you in person, you as a child of God. Apostle Peter said in Acts 2:39

For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

If the promise is unto you, then your children are beneficiary of this divine grace. Hallelujah! What a joy we have! Glory to God! Now I will say the promise is unto me, I have to personalize it,  I'll memorize it, I'll amplify it until I begin to exemplify it.

And thou shalt be like a watered garden. First we need to examine the characteristics of a watered garden

The characteristics of a watered garden include:

Health and vitality - just as a garden that is well-watered is healthy and full of vitality, so too will our lives be if we are faithful to God's word. We will have strength, energy, and a sense of purpose that comes from knowing that we are doing His will.

Productivity - a watered garden is productive, producing abundant fruit and vegetables. In the same way, when we follow God's path, we will be productive, using our talents and abilities to bring glory to Him and to bless others.

Beauty - a watered garden is beautiful, with an array of colors and textures that delight the eye. Similarly, when we live our lives in accordance with God's plan, we will radiate a beauty that comes from within, reflecting His love and grace to those around us.

Resilience - a watered garden is resilient, able to withstand drought and other challenges. In the same way, when we are firmly rooted in our faith and trust in God, we will be able to weather life's storms and emerge stronger and more resilient than ever before.

Abundance - a watered garden is abundant, providing an abundance of food and sustenance for those who tend it. Similarly, when we follow God's path, we will be blessed with an abundance of blessings, both material and spiritual, that will sustain us and bring us joy.

Hallelujah!

We are also likened to a spring of water that never runs dry.

Let's look at what spring water is, its component and how it compares to other sources of water. This will give us better understanding about the promise God gave to us.

In my research I found out that A "spring of water is  a natural source of water that flows up from the ground, usually from an underground aquifer, and creates a small stream or pool on the surface. It is a reliable source of fresh, clean water that can be used for drinking, washing, and irrigation. In further study, I tried to compare the spring water to other source of water in terms purity, and content, I found out that spring water is the purest form of water. This is because spring water is sourced from underground, away from pollutants and contaminants, and is naturally filtered through layers of rock and soil. Stream and river water can be pure if they flow through areas with little human activity or pollution, but can also be contaminated by chemicals, bacteria, and other pollutants. Similarly, sea water is not considered pure due to its high

Thank you for listening to the Messenjah Podcast

Welcome to the Messenjah podcast. My name is Moses Oladimeji, and I am your host on this platform. This is a podcast dedicated to dispelling false beliefs and establishing the truth from the word of God. Join us as we explore and discuss the teachings of the Bible and how they apply to our daily lives.

Today, we continue our series 'The All-round Promises of God To Me.' In this episode, we'll explore the topic 'Fat Bones: How God Strengthens Us in Times of Trouble and Fills Us with His Grace.' Our focus verse is Isaiah 58:11, which we'll be reading from the Message translation: "I will always show you where to go. I’ll give you a full life in the emptiest of places—firm muscles, strong bones. You’ll be like a well-watered garden, a gurgling spring that never runs dry."

In this episode, we'll look at how God strengthens us and prepares us for challenging situations that may arise in our life journey. The promise we read in the third part of our verse emphasizes God's promise to make our bones fat. The Message translation says 'firm muscles, strong bones.' A bone is the skeletal structure upon which our body is built. Without bones, our body would be formless and useless. What it does is give structure to our body, the strength it needs to withstand opposing forces. It is the foundation of the human body. Boneless animals are weak and susceptible to change and twists. The essence of bone is to provide strength for the body. A slimmer bone means little strength, but strong bones and firm muscles are symbols of great strength.

Now, let's consider the spiritual implications of this concept. In Psalms 22:19, the psalmist referenced God as his strength. He said, "But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me. Hallelujah." God is the frame of every believer. As believers, we need to know and come to the full knowledge and conviction that God is our strength. We draw strength from Him, and our strength does not come from what we have or from someone else. The moment we believe this and live our lives on this knowledge, we will begin to accomplish tasks greater than what we could do on a norm. David rejoices in the fact that God was his strength, and that knowledge produced the victory against Goliath.

In addition, we need to know that God is the skeletal structure upon which we are built. He is the frame of our lives. It is He who holds us together, who gives structure to our lives. People who don't reference God as their strength are destroyed when life turns against them. They are weak and feeble and can be likened to the house built on the sand. Let's look at the narrative of the lives of people who don't trust in God as their strength in Psalms 52:1-7:

"Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually. Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah. The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

We can see that their troubles are multiplied, they are destroyed and are  quickly removed because God was not their strength.

Now let's explore how God strengthens us and makes our bones strong. To do this, let's examine the account of Daniel when he was about to receive a vision of the end times.

In Daniel 10:17-19, we read that Daniel became weak and breathless in the presence of a divine being. However, the being touched him and said, "O man greatly loved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage." Immediately after, Daniel was strengthened and able to speak

Satisfied in Drought

Welcome to the Messenjah podcast, My name is Moses Oladimeji, I am your host on this platform. This is a platform dedicated to dispelling false beliefs and establishing the truth from the word of God. Join us as we explore and discuss the teachings of the Bible and how they apply to our daily lives.

We shall continue with our series  'The All-round Promises of God To Me'. In today's episode, we'll explore the topic 'Satisfied in Drought: How God Provides for Our Needs and Desires in Every Season'. Our focus verse is Isaiah 58:11, specifically the second part that reads: "And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not."

As we delve into this topic, we'll place emphasis on the promise of satisfaction that God has made to His children, especially during difficult times. The word "drought" here represents challenging situations that we may face in our lives. It could be financial struggles, emotional turmoil, or even physical illness. However, in all of these situations, God promises to guide us and provide us with what we need, including satisfaction for our souls.

This promise is not just for those in dire need, but for every believer in every season of their lives. God's promise is to provide for our needs and desires, and to satisfy us in every situation. As the Psalmist David said in Psalm 107:9, "For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things."

Let's take a moment to reflect on this promise and trust that God will provide for us even in the midst of drought. As we hold on to this promise, we can be assured that we will be like a well-watered garden, never lacking and always thriving.

In the previous episode, we established that the promises of God are for His children who have submitted themselves under the Lordship of Christ. We also emphasized that God desires to guide us in every aspect of our lives as a testament to our sonship. Additionally, we highlighted the five paths that God wants to lead us on, which include the paths of life, truth, righteousness, peace, and prosperity.

Moreover, we discussed the importance of enjoying unbroken and consistent guidance from God. This is because when we are guided by God, we can navigate through life with ease and confidence, knowing that we are walking in His perfect will for us. As the scripture says, "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye" (Psalm 32:8).

Therefore, we must continually seek God's guidance in our lives and allow Him to lead us on the paths of His choosing. As we do so, we can trust that He will satisfy our souls even in times of drought, just as the scripture says in Isaiah 58:11.

God's promise to satisfy our souls in drought is a powerful assurance of His provision for His children. The word 'satisfy' here is not just about meeting our basic needs, but rather it speaks to the abundance that God has in store for us. It means that we will not lack anything, and we will be fully content with what we have.

God's provision is not limited by the condition of the land or the state of the economy. The scripture in Job 22:29 assures us that when others are cast down, we can have hope and expect to be lifted up by God. This means that no matter what is happening around us, we can trust that God will come through for us.

An excellent example of this is seen in how God fed the children of Israel in the wilderness for forty years. They did not have to plant or sow, yet God provided for all their needs. This is the same God we serve today, and He has not changed. Therefore, we should be confident that He will provide for us in every season of our lives.

We must have faith and trust in God's ability to meet our needs. We should not allow the economic situation or any other factor to shake our faith in God's promise of provision.

Welcome to the Messenjah podcast, My name is Moses Oladimeji, I am your host on this platform. This is a platform dedicated to dispelling false beliefs and establishing the truth from the word of God. Join us as we explore and discuss the teachings of the Bible and how they apply to our daily lives. Thank you for tuning in!”. In this episode, we're starting a new series called "The All-Round Promises of God to Me," with our anchor scripture coming from Isaiah 58:11:

"And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not."

In this series, we'll be exploring the topic of "The Lord's Guidance: How to Follow His Will and Trust His Plan for Our Lives." We'll start by examining the first part of our anchor scripture, Isaiah 58:11a: "And the Lord shall guide thee continually." Can I get an 'amen'?

What a joy it is to be guided by the Lord! With His guidance, confusion, and uncertainties are removed from our lives. Our future is bright and secure because the One who holds tomorrow is leading us. But this guidance is not for everyone - it's for those who are called "the sons of God."

Being led and guided by the Lord is a testament to our sonship. As Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice" (John 10:27). And as it says in Romans 8:14, "As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." So if God is not leading your life, it shows that you are not yet a son. My prayer is that by the end of this episode, you will come to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

As we continue in today's episode, I want to emphasize that our Guide is referred to as the Lord - the Lord of Lords, who knows the way and paves the way. He knows all things and created all things for His purpose. When He says "go," we go, even when it doesn't make sense to us. We can trust that He can make a way where there seems to be none. When Moses was leading the children of Israel and they were facing the Red Sea, God told them to move forward. It may not have made sense at the time, but God had a plan in mind.

How does God lead us? One characteristic of His guidance is its specificity and conciseness. When the house of the Lord was being built, God gave exact dimensions down to the inch and furlong. This shows that God is a God of perfection - He's concerned with every detail of our lives and wants us to hit the target He has for us. Another example is when He gave direction to the children of Israel as they were leaving Egypt. In Isaiah 52:12, it says:

"For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward."

God is precise in His commands. Even though He wanted the children of Israel to leave Egypt, He was particular about how they should do it. What He wanted to achieve with their migration was not just liberation from the Egyptians, but also the circumstances and conditions surrounding their exodus. They were not to leave in haste or by flight.

The message here is that they were not escaping by being hasty or fleeing - the Lord was taking them out with a strong arm. He wanted them to walk majestically into their freedom, not rushing or running. Why? Because He wanted to be glorified in their exodus. If other nations heard that they had left in haste or fled, it would not glorify His name. He wanted them to crawl if necessary, basking in the euphoria of His greatness and deliverance. He wanted their oppressors to watch them go.

Another characteristic of God’s guidance is the certainty of His presence. He will always be with us as He leads us and will champion the path He has set for us. In Isaiah 52:12b, it says:

“For the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.”

When the Lord tells us to go here or there, we can trust that He has gone ahead of us to make all crooked paths straight.

Welcome to today's episode of "The Lord My Shield: Finding Consolation in Life Battles," where we will dive into Psalm 3:1-3 and explore how God is our shield, glory, and the lifter of our head in times of trouble.
