Be a feeding center, be a feeding church, Be a feeding ministry. Feed, feed! Don’t worry about leadership. Don’t worry about the ten things to do, the hundred things to do administratively and all that. Your first priority, leaders, your first priority, pastors, is to sit at His feet and listen. And receive.
Let Him serve you the bread. And the Bible says, Jesus says: “If any man thirsts, let him come unto Me and drink.” And drink. Drink, not draw. Many a times we go to Him to draw a sermon for others. We go to Him to draw something for others. You can draw water for other people and not drink it. You can draw and you still are dying of thirst. Amen.
No, He said: “Come to Me and drink.” To drink is a very personal thing. Drink is for your personal consumption. Drink is for yourself. Drink is for you. You don’t think about others. You just drink. Come to Him and drink. And drink and drink and drink. Then out of your belly shall flow rivers! Now, rivers of living water, they are for others.
They are for others. Drink. “Lim.” Lawrence Lim. Keep on drinking. Lim is Chinese for “drink.” In Hokkien. In Chinese: “he.” Remember? “He.” Keep on drinking and out of your belly will flow rivers! Rivers are for others! Living water. Not just water. Living water. People will be refreshed around your presence. They’ll be refreshed. That’s how you feed.
Pastors, prioritize this. Leaders, prioritize this. David, back to David again. When David—you saw that he was anointed with a horn of oil. When the first king of Israel was anointed, he was anointed with a vial of oil. And the oil comes on the head. So vial in the book of Revelation is a picture of the wrath of God.
The angels poured the vial of the wrath of God. So David was anointed with the ram’s horn, the death of the male ram, Jesus Christ. Amen. And then you find that the people followed Saul trembling. The people that came to David, actually they were the 3D army, right? In distress, in debt, and discontented.
But they became the mighty men. They became giant killers like him. But there’s something else I want to leave you with and you need to see this. When David was out there, he brought bread. He’s a picture of our Lord Jesus Christ, another wonderful picture of our Jesus. The father sent him with bread, cheese, provisions for his brothers.
