Topic : Need For True Worshippers.
Memory Verse: John 4:24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Bible Reading :John 4:21-23. Key Verse: v23.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
The birth of Jesus, his death and resurrection was a turning point in man’s relationship with God the creator. Those days the people tied worship of God to the temple built by King Solomon in Jerusalem. Everyone who wanted to worship had to go on pilgrimage there. But Jesus Christ as the real temple brought it closer to ourselves. He told them to destroy the temple of his body and he will rebuild it in three days. They thought that it was their own temple in Jerusalem, but he was really talking to them concerning his own body. “Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body.” John 2:19-21.
The woman at the well didn’t know that she was talking with her creator and mesiah who knew everything about her and was in position to meet all her needs. The master in his usual manner appeared to her in weakness looking like one who needed help from the woman, but she was being tested. “There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?” John 4:7,10-11.
Today Jesus is looking for men of the Spirit. Men of the Spirit are men who by reason of relationship understand the Spirit nature of God. They are men who pay some price to develop their spirit man by spiritual engagements that builds up our spirit man, as to be able to interact with the father of all spirits and source of life and everything that was created. Such individuals know how to pay attention to or prioritise the things of the Spirit in their lives till they become real men (sons and daughters of the most high in practical terms). “That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Romans 8:4-6. Galatians 6:7-8.
Prayer : Thank you Father God for making me to be like you. Help me to die to myself and flesh, so that I can live for you. I yield my entire being to your Spirit. Take over me and rule my life. Teach me ro relate with you effectively. Make me a true worshipper in your presence forever that my life may continously command your glory in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Romans 12:1-21.
