Ezekiel 47:1-12<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was reading Ezekiel 47 for my devotion when I was struck afresh by three supernatural and irresistible movements of God.<\/p>\n

Ezekiel 47 was a prophetic vision that showed how a powerful river flowed out from the Temple of God in Jerusalem and became an incredible blessing to many. It prefigured the future in Revelation 22:1-2, when the river of life will flow from the throne of God for the healing of the nations.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at the supernatural and irresistible movement of God:<\/p>\n

1. How it began: The Source of the Movement<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ezekiel 47:1-2 shows us how the water first came \u201cfrom below\u201d. This was mentioned twice.<\/p>\n

In verse 2 we see such a small beginning. The water began as a trickle!<\/p>\n

In other words, the water source began in such an unexpected and insignificant way.<\/p>\n

Surely, we recall what Zechariah 4:10 says: \u201cWho dares despise the day of small things.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

2. How it gained momentum: The Speed of the Movement<\/span><\/h2>\n

From verse 3 onwards, this small trickling of water flowed eastward and gained momentum and speed.<\/p>\n

After every 530m, the water level rose. First, it rose to the ankle level, then the knee level, then the waist level and, finally, it became a mighty river that was impassable.<\/p>\n

In verse 8, the torrential river flowed into the Dead Sea and salt water miraculously turned into fresh water. Totally supernatural!<\/p>\n

Consider this \u2013 the Dead Sea contains an estimated 33-35% of salt and is 10 times saltier than normal seawater. Yet it turned into fresh water.<\/p>\n

The impossible can happen with God!<\/p>\n

3. How it reached the climax: The Scale of the Movement<\/span><\/h2>\n

Verse 9 onwards showed us how everything began to live where the river flowed. There were all kinds of sea creatures and all kinds of fish.<\/p>\n

On each side of the river, there were all kinds of trees for food. All became exceedingly fruitful.<\/p>\n

In other words, there was great fruitfulness and vitality wherever the river went.<\/p>\n

Brothers and sisters, can you see the supernatural and irresistible movement of God? It may begin very insignificantly. But, with God, the impossible can happen and the impact is unimaginable!<\/p>\n

No wonder the Psalmist once sang: \u201cThere is a river whose streams make glad the city of God.<\/em>\u201d (Psalm 46:4)<\/p>\n

Singapore can be that city that experiences the source, the speed and the scale of this heavenly blessing from God.<\/p>\n

One of our favourite National Day songs, Home<\/em>, goes:<\/p>\n

I will always recall the city<\/em>
\nKnow every street and shore<\/em>
\nSail down the river which brings us life<\/em>
\nWinding through my Singapore. <\/em><\/p>\n

This is home, truly<\/em>
\nWhere I know I must be<\/em>
\nWhere my dreams wait for me<\/em>
\nWhere that river always flows<\/em><\/p>\n

May Singapore become that River of Blessing!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s pray together:<\/p>\n

Our Sovereign Lord and Heavenly Father, thank You for loving Singapore and making her who she is today. You say that \u201cwhoever believes in me, rivers of living water will flow from within them\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

So, cause our faith to rise in You. Unleash Your supernatural and irresistible movement in us. Turn our finite insignificance into infinite significance. Do the impossible through us. Make us fruitful in every way.<\/em><\/p>\n

We pray all these in Jesus\u2019 most precious and worthy name, Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n
