Topic :Let Your Testimonies Count.
Memory Verse: John 4:39. So there were many from the Samaritan village who became believers in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony: “He told me everything I ever did!”
Bible Reading : John 4:40-42 TPT. Key Verse : v42.
Then they begged Jesus to stay with them, so he stayed there for two days, resulting in many more coming to faith in him because of his teachings. Then the Samaritans said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you told us, but now we’ve heard him ourselves and are convinced that he really is the true Savior of the world!”
Jesus was hungry and waiting by Jacob’s well while on transit from Judea to Samaria, while his disciples went to town to get some food. As he waited, a Samaritan woman whom he was positioned to bless came to fetch from the well. Jesus in order to open a door of conversation with her asked her to help him with some water to drink. The woman was apprehensive because she wasn’t expecting such from a Jewish man. “A Samaritan woman came to draw some water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink of water.” (His disciples had gone into town to buy food.) The woman answered, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan — so how can you ask me for a drink?” (Jews will not use the same cups and bowls that Samaritans use.) Jesus answered, “If only you knew what God gives and who it is that is asking you for a drink, you would ask him, and he would give you life-giving water.”” John 4:7-10 GNB.
The woman was surprised at the response of Jesus Christ knowing he had no physical bucket or container he could use and fetch for himself to drink, not to talk about giving to another. But Jesus was discussing deep spiritual truth about the Spirit of God who lives in men and flows through them to bless others. By the time Jesus took her through the story of her life, her eyes opened to the fact that he must be the Messiah and one greater than their father Jacob who dug the well. “The woman said, “This is all so confusing, but I do know that the Anointed One is coming—the true Messiah. And when he comes, he will tell us everything we need to know.” Jesus said to her, “You don’t have to wait any longer, the Anointed One is here speaking with you—I am the One you’re looking for.”” John 4:25-26.
Finally, because the woman was convinced about the personality of Jesus Christ, she left her water pot and all she had to do, and went back to town to testify that he had seen the Messiah.” As the crowds emerged from the village, Jesus said to his disciples, “Why would you say, ‘The harvest is another four months away’? Look at all the people coming—now is harvest time! For their hearts are like vast fields of ripened grain—ready for a spiritual harvest. And everyone who reaps these souls for eternal life will receive a reward. And those who plant spiritual seeds and those who reap the harvest will celebrate together with great joy!” John 4:35-36. Today Jesus is reminding us of the need to use the testimonies of what he had done for us or in our lives to lead others to him. Testimonies are very important tools in the field of evangelism and soul winning. Don’t think that you cannot preach. Just share your testimonies of Jesus and the great things he did will go a long way to draw men to him, if you can willingly share them with others around you or that comes your way. When ww obey, the Spirit is able to breath upon such testimonies as we share them and use such to do great things as well as activate a hunger for more of him in the lives of others, beyond our imaginations.
Prayer : Thank you Lord Jesus for for every good and marvellous things you have done in my life. As I share my testimonies of you with others, use them to draw others to know and serve you in Jesus Mighty Name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Exodus 9:10-29.
