THE CEASELESS FLOW OF NEW THINGS 

“Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is! I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands. Wild animals will say ‘Thank you!’ —the coyotes and the buzzards— Because I provided water in the desert, rivers through the sun-baked earth, Drinking water for the people I chose, the people I made especially for myself, a people custom-made to praise me". Isaiah 43:18-21 (MSG)

There is a story of a very poor woman who called in during a radio programme asking for help from God. An unbeliever who was listening to the radio programme decided to make fun of the woman. He got her address, called his secretary and ordered her to buy a large amount of foodstuff and take to the woman. However, he sent it with the following instruction: "When the woman asks who sent the food, tell her that it is from the devil.'' When the secretary arrived at the woman's house, the woman was so happy and grateful for the help received. She started carrying the food into her small house. The Secretary then asked her, ''Don't you want to know who sent the food?'' The woman replied, ''No, I don't even care because when God orders, even the devil obeys!

The above story clearly demonstrates what happens when God decides to show the world that He actually bears the name that our brethren from the Eastern part of Nigeria (The Igbos) call him. They often describe God as the "Oshimiri Atata" which means "The River That Never Runs Dry".  This implies that whenever His children's crucible of oil (physical, financial, emotional, marital, spiritual, academic etc) is about drying up or has already dried up, the "Oshimiri Atata" Himself can trigger the flow of new things again. Often times, he does this by giving order to anyone (including their enemies) to go help/sort His children out. Yes, the "Oshimiri Atata" himself can compel individuals, organisations, governments and even nations to swiftly release all the new things that His children needs to them. And within a twinkle of an eye, the flow of His mighty river (that never runs dry) will turn scarcity to abundance, sickness to health,  failure to success,  stagnation to promotion, ridicule to miracle, embarrassment to celebration, barrenness to fruitfulness etc.

This year, I trust the "Oshimiri Atata" (The River that never runs dry) to channel His ceaseless flow of new things into our home, business, academic, church, nation. And as the river flows, Individuals, organisations, governments and nations shall  be compelled to release all the new things that will make our journey of year 2018 a splendid one. Everyone warehousing our testimonies shall be forced to vomit them into our hands. The river will also quench the fire of embarrassment burning openly or secretly in every area of our lives. The mountain moving power inside that mighty river will forcefully relocate every terrifying mountains standing tall in our way to the promise land. The healing virtue in that powerful river will cure the incurable and leave the medial doctors dumb-founded. As the river flows, wisdom for witty inventions and uncommon creative abilities shall be unleashed upon us. As the Lord God of heaven lives, before this year is over, you and your entire household shall have many reasons to praise the "Oshimiri Atata" for His ceaseless flow of joy, peace, victory, power, wisdom, sound health, provision, preservation, deliverance etc in your life. However to partake of this uncommon flow of new things, you must surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Please do that today and you will never regret that you did.

Beloved, please join me this beautiful Thursday morning to set up a befitting banqueting table of praise and worship before our Everlasting Father by describing Him in Igbo Language as  the "Oshimiri Atata". The lyrics of the song below which was composed by an highly anointed Nigerian Gospel Song Writer and Singer - Preye Odede in  September 2017  speaks volume on the subject. If you are among the people custom-made to praise the Almighty God, then please sing along with me.

Oshimiri Atata (The River That Never Runs Dry)

Whenever I’m broken
You are there to heal me
As My healer
Oshimiri Atata

Chorus:
Oshimiri Atata x2
Oshimiri Atata x2

Men may disappoint, Yes!
And people may fail me
You alone will stay
Oshimiri Atata

My Doctors may give up
and say it’s all over
in thee I put my trust, Yeah
Oshimiri Atata

Mountain mover,
Way maker
Ekueme
Oshimiri Atata

Repeat Chorus.

If you are truly a child of God, I can assure you that the "Oshimiri Atata"  will see to it that your crucible of oil shall never run dry physically, spiritually,  materially,  emotionally,  financially etc throughout this year in Jesus name.
