Joshua
15: 14-19
Caleb said, “I will
give my daughter Achsah as a wife to the one who strikes down and captures
Kiriath- sepher.” So Othniel son of Caleb’s brother, Kenaz, captured it, and
Caleb gave his daughter Achsah to him as a wife. When she arrived, she
persuaded Othniel to ask her father for a field. As she got off her donkey,
Caleb asked her, “What do you want?” She replied, “Give me a blessing. Since
you have given me land in the Negev, give me the springs of water also.” So he
gave her the upper and lower springs.
This short story
reveals an amazing prophetic message that Jesus preached concerning in His
Prayer.
Matthew 6:9-13 “Your will be done,
your kingdom, as it is on earth so will it be in Heaven,..”
This young married women was hungry for
more. She was grateful for what she
received as her inheritance, yet she wanted more. She did not want her land to
face potential drought if the river that went through her land got blocked up
at the upper pools. So she asked for
both the upper pools and the lower pools to be given to her. This is symbolical for what is on earth
should be as it is in heaven.
We should be hungry for more God and asking
The Lord to give to us what is presently in heaven and have it manifest on
earth in our personal lives.
God has given to us the place where we are
and we need to have all that is under our authority and direct influence be
functioning according to the blue print of Heaven.
There are times when our land has drought
and is not in sync with the flow of Heaven. God wants your territory / land to
be blessed. As it is in Heaven so it should be on all that you own and possess.
God wants to release His blessing to your territory. There is a river flows
from the throne of God to you. It is the upper pool and you are the lower pool.
This river needs to flow and must not be stopped or blocked. This same river
needs to flow through you to a dry and thirsty land.
It is my firm conviction that you are the
lower pool and all that comes from God is from the upper pool. It is little
value if the pool becomes a dam and blocks the flow of blessing to flow
through. So you must let the blessing of God flow through you to those around you.
Ask The Lord to cause you to be a flowing
river to those around you. Ask the Lord to give to you the upper and lower
springs. Let the river flow into you and
through you.
AMEN.
