THE RIVER THAT NEVER RUNS DRY

’Look at the new things I am going to do. It is already happening. Don't you see it? I will make a road in the desert. I will make rivers in the dry land" - Isaiah  43:19 (ICB)

A poor widow called into a radio station during a live programme to say that she needs help from God to be able to feed her family. An atheist who was listening to the radio programme decided to make a mockery 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, organizations, governments and even nations to swiftly release all the new things that His children need 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.

In this year, I am believing that the "Oshimiri Atata" (The River that never runs dry) will channel His ceaseless flow of goodness into your homes, businesses, academics, churches, nations etc. And as the river flows, individuals, organizations, governments and nations shall be compelled to release all the new things that will make your journey of year 2025 a splendid one. Everyone warehousing your testimonies shall be forced to release them into your hands for possession. The river will also quench the fire of embarrassment burning openly or secretly in every area of your lives. The mountain moving power inside that mighty river will forcefully relocate every terrifying mountain standing tall in your way to the promise land. The healing virtue in that powerful river will cure the incurable and leave the medical doctors dumb-founded. As the river flows, wisdom for witty inventions and uncommon creative abilities shall be unleashed upon you. 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 God’s goodness and new things, you must surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Please do that today and you will never regret that you did.

Beloved, let us set up a befitting banquet table of praise before the Oshimiri Atata as we trust Him for the ceaseless flow of His goodness in the journey of year 2025.  

OSHIMIRI ATATA (The River That Never Runs Dry) By Preye Odede, 2017

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

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 year 2025 and beyond in Jesus name.

Good day and God bless you.

Maranatha!
