There's a Hole in the Bucket


In the first Chapter of the letter to the Ephesians, Apostle Paul revealed that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. At time, it is literally hard for us to believe as we do not really witness the manifestation; but the truth is, we need to believe in the Word of Christ before the manifestation comes. For we walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). 


With Odetta (Odetta Holmes) Belfonte performed this traditional folk song on May 2, 1960 in Carnegie Hall. This version appeared on his album, "Belafonte Returns to Carnegie Hall". A spadecaller video.


Figurative speaking, we are all vessels or buckets in this case. The truth is we have everything, even the thing pertaining to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3); but once we stop believing in the Word of Christ, the hole of unbelief exist in our bucket and our blessing started to leak...

Why do we need to believe in the Word of Christ?

It is because the Word of Christ is the word of the resurrected Jesus revealed to Apostle Paul. The Word of Christ always points us to His righteousness and what He had accomplished for us at the cross. Our Helper, the Holy Spirit also convicts us of righteousness and He is here to glorify Jesus by witnessing to the His Word.

Is your bucket leaking?

In this New Year, start "working" the work of God by mending your bucket i.e. to believe in the Word of Christ!

John 6:29Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.
