Topic : War With Your Testimonies.

Memory Verse:‭ John 4:29. “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?”

Bible Reading :‭John 4:25-27 NIV‬. Key Verse : v26.

The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.” Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”

At this point in time, this particular Samaritan woman came to fetch water from this very well of Jacob where Jesus was resting, while he waited for his disciples who went into town to get some food because themselves including the master was tired and hungry. Jesus needed to minister to this woman. So he opened up conversation with her by asking her for drinking water which the woman refused to give him because he was a Jew and herself a Samaritan.
“(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
John 4:8-10.

At the point in their conversation, Jesus began to let her know that if she had known whom she was speaking with, she would have asked him to give her an everlasting water that will satisfy her spirit forever (the Holy Spirit). The woman couldn’t understand him because he had nothing to use and fetch from the well to give to anyone. When Jesus saw her curiosity, he then told her to go and call her husband. The woman thinking that Jesus was developing interest in her lied that she had no man in her life. Jesus then saw the right opportunity to shock her with the story of her life, which should be a secret. That was when her eyes opened to understand that the man she was speaking with wasn’t ordinary. ‭”He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.” “I have no husband,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.” “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet.” John 4:16-19.

One lesson I want us to pick from the encounter this Samaritan woman had with Jesus is that immediately she realised whom Jesus was, she abandoned everything and went back to town to tell others to come and see the Messiah who downloaded her life history to her at first meeting. Today many of us have testimonies of mighty acts of God in our lives that can bring men to Jesus that we are sitting on. Every testimony of the goodness of God, his mighty acts, deliverance and even salvation of our souls are tools for evangelism in our hands. Many excuse themselves from getting involved in soul winning, saying they can’t preach. But the truth is that there’s no one that can’t share a testimony. Today and always, make sure you share with someone around you testimonies of what Jesus did in your life. Testimonies are one of the weapons of warfare the Lord has given us to use and overcome the enemy at any point in time. Testimonies breeds faith. Without faith faith no man can receive anything from God including salvation. The testimony of what God did with David in the lonely wilderness was all he needed to overcome an overrated giant like Goliath that he was no match for physically.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for every testimony of your goodness, salvation and mighty works in my life. Teach to war with my testimonies anytime I have need. Help me to use these testimonies of your goodness in my life to draw men to you always. Thank you for making me a soul winner in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Psalms 145:1-21.
