“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, from his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water!”  Joh. 7:38

“I have given waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert….”  Isa. 43:20

“And you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring a water, whose waters do not fail.”  Isa. 58:11

Let me share with you a word you may relate to – it´s the word pipeline.  I´m not going to talk about oil now.  The word became relevant when I told Robert 8 months ago what had happened in his life a born-again believer.  I said to him, “I had really nothing to do with this.  I was a channel only.”

Funny enough he didn´t understand what I meant.  “What is a channel?” he asked.  “Oh, let me use another word.  You know the word “pipeline”?  I happened to be just a pipeline for Jesus Christ!”  He smiled, and now he understood.  The word “pipeline” has stuck with us ever since.

You and I are called to be “pipelines” for the Lord.  What a high calling!  In my unsaved days I was certainly a pipeline for Satan without knowing it.  Oh yes, once I knew it, because someone said to me at one occasion, “You are a devil!” and I was, I must shamefully say.

The saving gospel came into my life, however, and made me a new creature in Christ.  The old nature is still there and causes a lot of trouble.  But I´m also a new man with a divine nature indwelt by God´s Spirit because of His grace bestowed upon me in Christ Jesus.  The purpose for all that?  To be a “channel” only, a “pipeline” to our immediate surroundings.  May this be true in our lives in a more real way in a desert land day by day!
