The Tap and the Source: Living from God’s Unlimited Supply

 


Have you ever stopped to think about how a simple tap works?

By itself, it’s just a hollow piece of metal dry, empty, and ordinary.

But once it’s connected to a water source, everything changes. Suddenly, that same tap becomes a channel of refreshment, pouring out what it receives from the source behind the wall.

That’s exactly how our lives are meant to function in relationship with God.

We were never created to be the source. We are the tap God is the supply.


Connected to the Source


When we connect our lives, our work, and our finances to God, something powerful happens.

We begin to live from an unlimited flow.

Whenever there’s a need, we open the tap through faith, prayer, and obedience and His provision flows.

Just as water doesn’t depend on the tap but on the reservoir behind it, our ability to give, to love, to live in peace, or to prosper doesn’t come from our own effort. It comes from staying connected to the Source.


Never Running Dry

When your bank account, your business, and your plans are centered on God, you stop living from scarcity and start living from sufficiency.

You don’t panic when things seem dry, because you know your supply isn’t in the tap — it’s in the Source.


And this truth extends beyond finances.

It’s about peace when life feels chaotic.

It’s about love when people disappoint you.

It’s about strength when you feel empty.


The Source never runs out


Stay Connected

God’s invitation is simple: Stay connected.

When you trust Him, obey Him, and keep your heart open, He releases what’s needed at the right time  just like water flowing when the tap turns.

You become a vessel through which His goodness flows into every area of life.

So, stay connected. Don’t worry about how much is left in the “pipe.”

Keep your faith anchored in the One who never runs dry.


Scripture of Reflection

“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”

— Philippians 4:19 (NIV)


Final Thought

You were never meant to be the source just the tap.

Let the Source flow through you, and you’ll never run dry.

The Corpse in the Backyard

Introduction: Everyone has a backyard ,the place where they bury the painful, shameful, or terrifying parts of their past. The corpse in the backyard is symbolic of those unresolved experiences: betrayal, poverty, rejection, fear. Though buried, they still rot and release a stench that seeps into every part of a person’s life. And the tragedy? While you are busy maintaining the backyard checking if the corpse is still hidden, covering the smell, reinforcing the fence you neglect the front yard: the now, the next, the new. 1. The Corpse of Betrayal You were loyal. You were honest. But they weren’t. Now every new relationship is judged by the standard of the pain you buried. You became a detective instead of a lover. Suspicion replaced vulnerability. And even when good love shows up, you chase it away because you’re too busy guarding your backyard. “ Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!” Isaiah 43:18-19 2. The Corpse of Poverty You k...

Run Your Race

Image
  By Muzi Mthethwa Year after year, we count the blessings. We also count the failures. And, of course, we count the almost  the opportunities that came close but never quite landed, the prayers that felt unanswered, the dreams that stalled just before the finish line. Reflection is important. It grounds us. It reminds us where we’ve been. But reflection becomes dangerous when it turns into comparison. Too often, as we look back, we don’t only measure ourselves against our past we measure ourselves against other people’s journeys. Their progress. Their timelines. Their applause. And without realizing it, we step out of our own lane and into a race we were never meant to run. Tuning Your Own Race Doing better in the future does not start with competing harder. It starts with tuning your race. Tuning your race means adjusting your focus, your pace, your discipline, and your obedience. It means understanding that growth is not about speed but about direction. Whe...

From Bare Branches to New Life: A Story of Divine Restoration

Image
  “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten…” Joel 2:25 (NKJV) The prophecy of Joel is one of the most hopeful declarations of restoration in Scripture. It speaks to loss that was systematic, progressive, and devastating. The locusts did not destroy in a moment they consumed in stages. What they left behind was not immediately dead, but slowly weakened, fading, and vulnerable. This is often how the enemy works. Understanding the Locust’s Destruction In nature, locusts attack what is visible first the leaves, the fruit, the tender growth. They strip a tree bare. Importantly, they do not eat the roots. Yet many trees still die after such an invasion. Why? Because the leaves are the tree’s life factories. Through photosynthesis, leaves convert sunlight into nourishment energy that feeds the entire tree, including the roots. When the leaves are gone, the tree can no longer produce what sustains it. Over time, the roots though untouched begin to starve...
