  1. Greetings and welcome to the month of February, the second month of this year, 2025.

  2. Our focus this month?

  3. We are focusing on the impartation of uncommon Zoi life, spirit-led rebirth, spirit-led Rebirth and I'm here to just introduce this month to us and to welcome you, that you may join us throughout this month the teaching of this Zoe Life.

  4. It is such a powerful message that you do not want to miss, because it is a message that is going to shape your life into productivity, a message that is going to impact your life in a great way.

  5. Let me draw your attention to a conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman, and we are familiar you're probably familiar with this conversation where Jesus meets a Samaritan woman by the well.

  6. Jesus meets a Samaritan woman by the well and Jesus introduces a conversation by asking the woman to give him some water to drink, and, of course, the woman responds by saying that what is it do we have between the Samaritans and the Jews that you will ask me for a drink.

  7. And so in verse 10, in response to that, jesus says that if you knew the gift of God and who it is who says to you give me a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.

  8. The Zoe life is a life that is given by Jesus Christ himself.

  9. This woman was thirsty for normal water.

  10. She had gone to the well to get normal water, but she meets a man who is willing to give her living water.

  11. And there are three characteristics that I want you to carry out from this as far as the Zoe life is concerned.

  12. The first one I want you to know that Jesus is the source of this zoe life.

  13. Jesus is speaking to this woman and he's saying well, it sounds like I'm asking you for living water, for water, but I am here as a source of more than the water that you can get from the well.

  14. I am here as the source of living water.

  15. And that's why Jesus is saying if you only knew who it is that is asking you for a drink, you would instead turn to him and ask him to give you living water.

  16. What is the condition of your life?

  17. Jesus is inviting you to know that he is the source of zoe life, the source of living water.

  18. But secondly, not only is Jesus the source of this zoe life, but Jesus is actually willing to give you zoe life.

  19. It is one thing to be a source of something.

  20. It is one thing to be a source of something, it is one thing to possess something.

  21. It is another to be willing to share it with other people.

  22. Jesus is telling this woman if only you asked of me, I will give you living water.

  23. And so my brother, my sister, jesus is not only the source of living water, which brings zoe life, but Jesus is willing to give you this zoe life, and he's not concerned about your status, he's not concerned about your gender.

  24. He's not even worried about your status.

  25. He is not concerned about your gender, he is not even worried about your past.

  26. All he is saying is that if you knew who it is that is asking you for a drink, if you knew who it is that is willing to share with you zoe life, you will ask of him and he will give you this zoe life.

  27. You will ask of him and he will give you this zoe life.

  28. But thirdly, jesus is generous with the zoe life.

  29. Jesus is generous with zoe life.

  30. Jesus is not looking at giving you a drop.

  31. Jesus is not looking at giving you a bucket.

  32. Jesus is not looking at giving you small doses of zoe life.

  33. Jesus wants to give you generously, and that's why, in verse 13, jesus answered and said to her everyone who drinks of this water will fast again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never fast.

  34. Jesus is giving with generosity, but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life, a well of water that will never dry, a well of water that can water others, a well of water that can water others.

  35. And therefore, jesus is willing to give you life and give it to you in abundance.

  36. And so, this particular month, I want to invite you to this source.

  37. I want to invite you to one who is willing, I want to invite you to one who wants to give Zoe life to you generously.

  38. Do not walk in thirst, do not walk a miserable life, do not walk this life without the abundance that Jesus is willing to give you.

  39. And so God bless you as you connect with this Jesus this month and receive this living water, receiving it in abundance.

  40. In in Jesus' name, god bless you.
