  53. unto us all, Amen. I want to thank the leadership

  54. of the Church and the leadership of this great assembly as well

  55. for the opportunity to minister to the Saints of God.

  56. As we already know, today is Gospel Sunday, today is Gospel

  57. Sunday and when we look at the Bible studies we learnt and then

  58. the video we watched and the fact that we went out to

  59. minister unto souls, left to me alone, that is all I can't do.

  60. I don't know that is the gospel, but since we have also come to

  61. church, it is incumbent on us to listen to the Word of God.

  62. So I'll just in the next, let's say 20 to 25 minutes, I'll just

  63. wrap up everything to top up what we've already done.

  64. Then we pray and then we are out of here.

  65. The theme for the year is the Church Unleashed to transform

  66. Society through the gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit.

  67. So that is the central theme for the whole Church of Pentecost.

  68. And then the whole week I was actually praying and waiting on

  69. God and inquiring from Him what message I should teach or preach

  70. on this morning. And what came to me was a story.

  71. A story and out of the story God led me to look out for some

  72. lessons in the story. It is a popular story that even

  73. a Sunday school child knows about.

  74. It's a very popular story in the Bible.

  75. So I was actually trying to get more to add, but that was what

  76. was just that that kept coming. The story just kept coming.

  77. So Friday it came out to Friday the same thing.

  78. So today to we are going to rely on just that story.

  79. Look out, look at the lessons we can draw from that story and

  80. then that ends it. So I do not have a team today.

  81. So as the message is coming, however God helps you to

  82. understand it, you draw your own team.

  83. Are we together? I was trying to get a team, but

  84. out of the story you can get multiple teams.

  85. So I don't want to limit us to just one team.

  86. So at the end of the message, you yourself, as you assisted

  87. there, however, the Holy Spirit made you understand it.

  88. You couch your own team and then you put it down.

  89. The whole story can be found in the book of John, John chapter 4

    John 4:1–45

  90. verses 1 to 45, John chapter 4 verses 1 to 45.

    John 4:1–45

  91. And then it borders around the Samaritan woman and Jesus.

  92. I hope we all know we are familiar with that story.

  93. I don't know familiar with that story.

  94. Oh, we are in church. So I want a response.

  95. Are we familiar with that story right the Jesus and then his the

  96. Samaritan woman in her encounter with Jesus and what transpired

  97. between the two of them and what we can learn from it.

  98. So let's all look on our screens.

  99. I said when we read, we draw out the lessons and we proceed.

  100. So John chapter 4 verse one, it reads now when Jesus learned

    John 4 chapter mention

  101. that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and

  102. baptizing more disciples than John.

  103. Please continue. Although Jesus himself did not

  104. baptize, but only his disciples, please continue.

  105. He left Judah. This is where it starts from.

  106. He left Judah and departed again for Galilee.

  107. So we see Jesus who is living from one point and his intention

  108. is to go to another point, so Judah to Galilee.

  109. But the verse for says that and he had to pass through Samaria.

  110. Anything you see in Scripture is very relevant and he had to pass

  111. through Samaria. What we say he had OK had to it

  112. is in English. It is a simple past tense, just

  113. a simple past tense. And it is normally used to

  114. express necessity or obligation. So we can read it as as such

  115. that it's Jesus was obliged to pass through Samaria.

  116. Are we getting it or it was necessary for him to pass

  117. through Samaria? And then when you look, I was

  118. trying to get a map, but I, I couldn't get it for the media

  119. team today. When you go home, you can look

  120. at the the map and then you see that from Judea, if you want to

  121. go to Galilee, the shortest route you can use is Samaria.

  122. But usually the Jews do not want to use their short route.

  123. They prefer to use their longer route.

  124. So they prefer to go around Samaria to Galilee.

  125. And the question is, why is it that they do not want to go

  126. through Samaria? There's a history to that.

  127. And the history can be found in the Book of Second Kings.

  128. We will not read it. So when you go home, you can

  129. read it. It can be found in Second Kings

    2 Kings 17 chapter mention

  130. chapter 17. But let me brief it for you so

  131. that you get, you get to understand it better.

  132. It's it's it's dates back to the time of King Solomon.

  133. OK. You know, Solomon was the wisest

  134. king and they got to a time that his heart let the Lord, his

  135. focus shifted from God. And then there were some

  136. discrepancies in his Kingdom. So we had the 12 tribes of

  137. Israel. And then after his his

  138. departure, his son Rehoboth took over.

  139. And then they got to a time that the people at the northern

  140. sector were so bedded, they were under hardship, so he got to

  141. attack. They came to Rehobah.

  142. They told Rehobah that this thing that is going on in the

  143. Kingdom, it is not good. We are not being treated fairly.

  144. They came with their grievances, but Rehobah didn't listen to

  145. them. And then they got angry and they

  146. departed from the Kingdom. So that was what brought the

  147. division between the two kingdoms.

  148. So we had the northern Kingdom and we had the southern Kingdom

  149. and the northern Kingdom was made about 10 tribes of Israel

  150. and then two other kingdoms such as the the Benjamins and the

  151. people of Judah. They also formed another tribe.

  152. So 2 tribes forming one tribe and then 10.

  153. So that was the division. Now when the 10 people formed,

  154. the 10 tribes came together. It got to a time that it got to

  155. a time that the king of Assyria came to that that where the

  156. people where the 10 tribes of people where they went to

  157. reside. They are central is Samaria.

  158. Very good me that team. Thank you very much for the the

  159. the the the diagram so you can see from the diagram from Judea.

  160. Judea is down there. You pass when you pass through

  161. Samara. It is a straight Rd. but people

  162. prefer to go around around that before they get to to get they

  163. get to Galilee. So now the 10 people came to

  164. form Samaria. So they are Samaritans.

  165. The Accenture was Samaria and then the king of Assyria came to

  166. have a fight with them and then took some people or some of the

  167. Israelites to exile and they brought different people to mix

  168. the Samaritans. So the Samaritans people became

  169. a mixed group. They didn't have an identity.

  170. Some of them were Jewish, some of them were from different,

  171. different, different, different places and they have come

  172. together. Some of them worshiped God, some

  173. of them worshiped other idols. Some people came with different

  174. culture. So the Samaritans, in simple

  175. terms, the Samaritans were a mixed group of people who had no

  176. identity. They had they had even forgotten

  177. their roots. So the two people, the 2 tribes,

  178. so who are the Jew, who from the Jews, they saw the Samaritan

  179. people as unclean people, as people who have no background.

  180. Some of the two people say I'm I'm fry for because other people

  181. have come to fry them. So they're they're a mixture of

  182. different breeds. So there's a song that sing that

  183. people sing. I'm I'm fry fry.

  184. You need chef. Oh yeah, yeah, human.

  185. That is the root. So the Jews see this Samarians

  186. as people who are unclean, people who are who people who

  187. who do not serve God people. That's what we are talking

  188. about, people who belong to God. They they are not parts.

  189. They are not parts. They had a different culture.

  190. They had their own identity, they had their own way of doing

  191. things. So that was how the Jews saw the

  192. Samaria, the Samaritans, and the Bible is saying that and Jesus

  193. was a Jew. So ideally, it was not necessary

  194. for Jesus to pass through some Samaria because they are

  195. considered as unclean people. And you Jesus, that you are

  196. clean. What business do you have with

  197. Samaritans who the Jews consider as people who are unclean?

  198. Please, are you getting the picture right?

  199. Let's proceed now. Let's, let's continue with our

  200. readings. The John chapter 4.

    John 4 chapter mention

  201. So Bible says that Jesus had to, He was obliged, it was necessary

  202. for him to pass through Samaria. Please, let's continue.

  203. He had an agenda. He had an agenda.

  204. Please, let's continue. So he came to a town of Samaria

  205. called Psycho, near the field that Jacob had given to his

  206. hand. Please continue.

  207. Jacob's well was there. So Jesus worried as he was from

  208. the journey, was sitting beside the well.

  209. Take note, it was about the Sid hour.

  210. That is also very relevant. It was about the Sid hour.

  211. Let's continue. A woman from Samaria came to

  212. draw water. So look at the picture.

  213. Jesus, when he got to a town in Samaria called Saika, he sat by

  214. the well. When he sat there, Bible recalls

  215. that it was about the Sid hour. And usually in in those days

  216. when it is the Sith hour, no one is expected to come to the well

  217. because people are the women in Samaria.

  218. They come to the well to draw water, usually in the mornings

  219. or in the evenings. They don't come there in the

  220. afternoon. In the afternoon is the Sith

  221. hour. So what is Jesus doing there in

  222. the Sith hour where he knows that it is not expected for

  223. someone to come to the well at the Sith hour?

  224. Hallelujah. Now a woman from Samaria, the

  225. Bible didn't mention her name. A woman from Samaria came to

  226. Jesus, came to draw water. And this woman, if you are from

  227. Samaria, ideally you should come in the morning when everyone is

  228. going or in the evening when everyone is going.

  229. You 2 Why are you coming in the afternoon when nobody is there?

  230. What are you also coming to do at that time?

  231. Please, I will follow him. So Jesus said to her.

  232. Give me a drink, let's continue so she came to meet Jesus.

  233. Hallelujah. Jesus was actually waiting for

  234. her death, for the disciples had gone to buy into the city to buy

  235. food. Please continue.

  236. So Jesus asked for a drink. Jesus, you are come there later.

  237. Let's continue. The Samaritan woman said to him,

  238. how is it that you a Jew? So it means that she recognized

  239. that Jesus was a Jew and she was a Samaritan.

  240. Someone will ask how by their blessing you can tell by their

  241. culture, you can tell by the way they speak, You can tell when,

  242. when as we are here, if someone comes from US right now, why you

  243. see that person? Would you see that?

  244. Would you see that difference once in the skin color?

  245. So you know, you will know. So the woman said that now is it

  246. that you are Jew, asked for a drink from me, a woman of

  247. Samaria. In those days it was a taboo for

  248. you, a man to even talk to a woman, not to talk of someone

  249. from Samaria, for Jesus had no dealings with Samaria.

  250. Samaritans, please, let's continue.

  251. Please, let's continue, Jesus answered him.

  252. If you knew the gift of God and who exists, that is saying to

  253. you, give me a drink, you would have asked him and he would have

  254. given you living water. Hallelujah.

  255. I want to make a submission here.

  256. I wrote that the intention of Jesus is it that you remain a

  257. well, but the intention of Jesus is that you become a river.

  258. Hallelujah. Wells are stagnant.

  259. Wells are fixed at a particular place.

  260. It contains both old and new water.

  261. But Jesus expectation is that as you are sitting there, you do

  262. not remain a well, but you become a river.

  263. River flows. Hallelujah, wells do not have

  264. the capacity to be fresh because they're always at one place.

  265. But Jesus expectation or a river which flows, it's always fresh.

  266. So Jesus is expecting that as you are sitting there, you

  267. become a river and then out of your belly shall flow fresh

  268. rivers. So at your workplace you are

  269. supposed to be flowing. You're not supposed to be here.

  270. Well, you're not supposed to be stand night.

  271. And when you when you come to church, you're supposed to be

  272. flowing At home in your marriage, wherever you find

  273. yourself, you're not supposed to be here.

  274. We are supposed to be flowing because that is the expectation

  275. of Jesus. And how do you become fresh?

  276. You become fresh when you engage God in prayer.

  277. You become fresh when you engage the Holy Ghost.

  278. So day in, day out you pray to the Holy Ghost, you speak in

  279. tongues, you ask for the influence of the Holy, of the

  280. Holy Spirit, and you are becoming fresh and you become a

  281. river, and you are always flowing.

  282. Hallelujah. So Jesus realized that this

  283. woman, so Jesus told her that if you knew the gift of God, who

  284. and who it is that is asking you, give me a drink, you would

  285. have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.

  286. Amen. It is my prayer that this

  287. morning out of our bellies should flow rivers of living

  288. water. Hallelujah.

  289. Now let's continue. The woman said to her, they're

  290. having a conversation. The woman, the woman said to

  291. him, say you have nothing to dry water with and the well is deep.

  292. Where do you get that living water?

  293. Let's continue. Are you greater than our Father

  294. Jacob? He gave us the well, and he

  295. drank from it himself, as he did his sons and his livestock.

  296. Please, let's continue. Jesus said to her, Everyone who

  297. drinks of this water will be tested again.

  298. Please continue. But whoever drinks of the water

  299. that I give him will never be tested again.

  300. The water that I give him will become in him a spring of water

  301. welling up to internal internal life.

  302. Hallelujah, the woman said to him, say, give me this water.

  303. So the woman, the woman so that I will not be thirsty or have to

  304. come to draw. So it's like the woman began to

  305. perceive that no, there is something about this man.

  306. There is something unique about this person.

  307. Hallelujah, let's continue. Jesus said to her, go and call

  308. your husband and come here. And she did something that I

  309. like very much. We'll draw another lesson from

  310. here. The woman answered, I have no

  311. husband. Just I said to her, you are

  312. right in saying I have no husband.

  313. So from from from just the scripture, I realized that the

  314. woman came just as she is. She was not a pretender, OK.

  315. She knows that in in during their time she was an outcast.

  316. That is why she came to French Water in the afternoon when

  317. nobody will see her because she herself, she didn't consider

  318. herself ready to be part of those who come either in the

  319. morning or in the evening. And when Jesus met and Jesus was

  320. revealing himself to her, she could have lied, she could have

  321. pretended when Jesus said go and call your husband if you try to

  322. be me and you will do like we are going because we do not know

  323. who is talking to us. But she came just as she is this

  324. morning. I want you to come on the whole

  325. year when you're coming to church, come just as you are.

  326. Don't pretend you know you are a liar.

  327. Come to God. God, I know I am a liar.

  328. Help me. I need help.

  329. I know I am not married. I fornicate Jesus, I need help.

  330. I know I am married, but I'm still doing things back

  331. backstage. God, I need help.

  332. Come just as you are at work. You know you are stealing.

  333. Come, come, come, come, come, come, come just as you are.

  334. Hallelujah. So present yourself to God just

  335. as you are. And that was what she did.

  336. Let's go on. So this I said you've had five

  337. husbands. The one you have now is not even

  338. your husband. What you said is true.

  339. Let's continue. The woman said to him say I

  340. perceive you are a prophet, so don't realize I know the person

  341. I am talking to. It's no longer an ordinary

  342. person because the the hidden things this person is telling me

  343. it can only be by revelation. If someone does not tell you,

  344. you will not know. So she got to know that no, this

  345. person I am dealing with is no ordinary person.

  346. Hallelujah. Some of us just know about God,

  347. so we have the intellectual knowledge of God.

  348. I mean, some of us were born into the church, so we know the

  349. Sunday school songs. We've heard about Jesus and

  350. everything. So we just have the intellectual

  351. knowledge of God. And she too had knowledge

  352. because in her engagement with Jesus was telling Jesus that I

  353. know Jacob done this. Well, I know our fathers did

  354. this. I know.

  355. So she also had the intellectual knowledge of God.

  356. But after talking to Jesus, she experienced him.

  357. So she she got after her encounter with Jesus, she got

  358. what we call the revelational and experiential knowledge of

  359. God. Hallelujah.

  360. Most of us here just know about God.

  361. Yes, we we hear about him, we have knowledge about him.

  362. Some of us have gone to Bible schools.

  363. Some of us do research, which is good, but you need to go deeper.

  364. There are deeper wells in Jesus. So you need to go deeper.

  365. You need to experience Him just as she did.

  366. So you do not come to church and go just as you came, but you

  367. come to have an encounter. And when you come to have an

  368. encounter, Jesus reveals a lot of things to you.

  369. And after revealing a lot of things to you, you have an

  370. experience. Hallelujah.

  371. And that should be our expectation, not just coming to

  372. know that, to know about God, but to experience Him, to

  373. encounter Him, for Him to reveal things unto us.

  374. Hallelujah. It is my prayer that after this

  375. administration, when you go home or from after this sermon, your

  376. prayer should should not be about physical things.

  377. Your prayer should be that God, I want to know you, I want to go

  378. deep in you. I want to experience you.

  379. I want to have an encounter with you.

  380. Reveal yourself unto me. That should be your prayer.

  381. That should be your prayer. Because the Bible says that seek

  382. ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteous, and all, all

  383. other things you're looking for will be added unto you.

  384. So your prayer should be that God, I want to encounter you

  385. just as she did. So the Bible says that the woman

  386. perceived that God is a prophet. One day, No, no, one day last

  387. week, Friday, I was coming with a friend, we're coming home.

  388. And then he was playing at someone in his car.

  389. And then it got to a time that the man of God was speaking in

  390. tones. Then I asked him, do you speak

  391. in tones? Then he said no.

  392. And I said, OK. So I was sitting in the car

  393. processing how I'm going to present tongue speaking to him.

  394. And then he he started by saying that he was asking me a

  395. question. Barbara, do you know tongues is

  396. a gift? And I say, yes, do you know

  397. this? Do you know the essence of it?

  398. Do you know it can do you this? Do you know?

  399. So once I was outside, ah, so you know.

  400. But what you are left with is the experience.

  401. Hallelujah, so he knows about tongues.

  402. He knows everything, their communities, their do's and

  403. don'ts. Whatever tongues can do, he

  404. knows about it. He was even quoting scriptures.

  405. He knows, but he doesn't speak in tongues.

  406. So I told him that then what you are left with, see, you even

  407. know better than me. So what you are left with is for

  408. you to experience it. Just like in On That End and the

  409. Day of Pentacles, you experience it.

  410. Hallelujah. Let's move on to verse 27, verse

  411. 27. So now, OK, so please go to

  412. verse 26. Start from verse 25.

  413. Very well, let's stay here. OK, so let's start from here.

  414. Verse 25 S after they were talking, the woman perceived

  415. that Jesus is a prophet. The woman said to him, I know

  416. that. So she knows intellectual

  417. knowledge. I know that Messiah is coming.

  418. He who is called Christ, why he comes?

  419. He will tell us all things. Please continue.

  420. So no, Jesus said to her, I who speak to you, I'm he.

  421. So this is where Jesus fully revealed himself to her.

  422. So as she, she, she was coming to fetch the water.

  423. She came as an outcast. She came as someone who didn't

  424. know God. She came as someone who had the

  425. intellectual knowledge of God. But after encountering Jesus,

  426. Jesus revealed himself fully to him.

  427. And I may I submit to you that she's the first person in the in

  428. Scriptures that Jesus fully revealed himself to even before

  429. the Paul and the Peters came she a woman, a Samaritan,

  430. Hallelujah. So, so your, your countenance

  431. should be that the way you came come just as you are.

  432. And your expectation should be that when you are living, you do

  433. not live the same Hallelujah. Let's continue.

  434. Let's go to verse 27. So now the disciples have come

  435. back. This has have finished revealing

  436. himself to her. I have about 7 minutes more,

  437. then I'll come to an I'll, I'll bring it to an end.

  438. When you go home you can continue.

  439. You'll get a lot of things from it.

  440. Just then his disciples came back.

  441. So the disciples were going to buy food.

  442. They have returned. They marvelled that he was

  443. talking to a woman, not they. Did you see the Bible didn't

  444. even say a Samaritan a woman. So it was just you talking to a

  445. woman, not to talk of a Samaritan woman.

  446. So they murmured that he was talking to a woman, but no one

  447. said, what do you seek? Oh, why are you talking with

  448. her? Let's continue.

  449. So the woman left her water jar. OK, so before the 20, the 27,

  450. the 27, I wrote something here. I wrote that God is rich in

  451. mercy so much that that which we do not deserve he gives unto us.

  452. Hallelujah. Please let's go to the 27.

  453. So the disciples asked Jesus, that you who are you talking to?

  454. This woman, so it means that to them, the woman do not deserve

  455. that she should be talking to Jesus, Hallelujah.

  456. But God is so rich in mercy that things that we do not even

  457. deserve, He gives it to us freely.

  458. This one, it is my prayer that as you are seated things that

  459. people think you do not deserve, God should give it to you so

  460. that his name will be glorified. Amen.

  461. Now let's continue. That's what's not.

  462. So Baba says in version is that she left the jar, the water jar

  463. and went into the town and said to the people.

  464. So I wrote that after her encounter with Jesus, her

  465. priorities shifted. Hallelujah.

  466. After her encounter with Jesus, her priorities shifted.

  467. So as you are saying now what? What are your priorities?

  468. Is it the car you want to get? Is it the travelling

  469. opportunity? Is it that particular job?

  470. Is it their marriage? Is it their child?

  471. What are your priorities? What do you set your heart on?

  472. We see the Samaritan woman after her encounter with Jesus, her

  473. priorities shifted and she left with just one message.

  474. She left. She left their job.

  475. You know, when she was coming, she was coming with a jar.

  476. So maybe actually you're coming to Jesus.

  477. You come with a lot of burdens. You come with so many troubles,

  478. problems, family issues, health issues, what have you.

  479. But after the encounter, what she said, she left.

  480. Baba says that she left the jar and she went and she had only

  481. one message. Let's continue.

  482. Let's see the message she was running with.

  483. Let's continue. Her message was, come see a man

  484. who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?

  485. So she was running with just one message.

  486. Come and see, come and see. She didn't improve upon the

  487. message, she didn't try to modernize the message.

  488. Come and see, Hallelujah. When you see we are going out

  489. for evangelism, sometimes we struggle because we want new

  490. lyrics, new techniques, how to cajol their souls out head.

  491. Come and see. Simple.

  492. That was the message. Come and see, Come and see who

  493. come and see Jesus, Hallelujah. So it is not in your place to do

  494. a lot of work. It is the place of God.

  495. Yours is to go. Come and see.

  496. The Holy Spirit will take over. Hallelujah.

  497. Let's, let's continue. So when she actually went to,

  498. she had people, the same woman who was an outcast, the same

  499. woman who couldn't come out in the morning and in the evening,

  500. so much so that she had to rush to the well in the afternoon so

  501. that nobody will see her. The same woman went back come

  502. and see people come and see someone who says come and see

  503. and the people were coming to her.

  504. Ideally they shouldn't have come to her because everybody knows

  505. her story. We're cheat from one man to the

  506. other from just about 6 people and even with that six person

  507. and then you can she's a prostitute.

  508. But after the encounter with Jesus, after her experience,

  509. come and see was her message. That is your message today how

  510. people knew you before and after.

  511. So we see her before and now we have seen her after the last

  512. time I was on Facebook and I saw brother Charles brother Charles

  513. here he posted you know Facebook they'll do then 20 maybe

  514. 20/20/2018 and after I saw his own and I was happy because I'm

  515. not not the wife when I saw that before and I saw that after I

  516. was like glory be to God. So this one to her before, we

  517. have seen her before and we have seen her after.

  518. As you are sitting there as you came, since you came to the

  519. serving knowledge of Christ, what is your before and after

  520. compare? As as I'm here, I'm comparing my

  521. own in my head. You 2 compare.

  522. Some people can attest to the fact that all you are before and

  523. after are physical things is good.

  524. I'm not saying physical things are not good.

  525. It is good. They are very instrumental.

  526. But what about the spiritual one?

  527. What is flowing out of you? Is it a river?

  528. Is it a well? How are you impacting lives?

  529. May God help us. Amen.

  530. Now before I bring them myself to an end, there was a strategy

  531. you said to use that I want us to learn.

  532. You know, when he makes the woman, he didn't condemn her.

  533. That was what that was not his approach.

  534. He said give me a drink. It was a conversation.

  535. When we go out for evangelism and we see the junkies and then

  536. how do we approach them? Do we condemn them?

  537. How do we start? So Jesus started with a

  538. conversation. Give me a drink.

  539. And then through through that we see how the conversation ended.

  540. So that is a strategy we can learn from Jesus.

  541. Now when she encountered Jesus and she went with the message,

  542. come and see, everybody knew that this woman had been with

  543. Jesus. It was evident, look, we are not

  544. here before, and now we have seen.

  545. Here after same happened to Moses.

  546. Moses met with Jesus man see. Oh come and see you come.

  547. Oh, come and see. Oh, come and see.

  548. Just lift up a prayer and thank God for reminding us for the

  549. wake that is ahead of us. He himself started awake and now

  550. it is our time to also move into chair, to go on and to preach

  551. the word of God unto other people.

  552. Speak and lift up your prayer unto God.

  553. This is one we thank you God for your way that you have given

  554. unto Rush. This is one we thank you for

  555. reminding us that indeed we have to.

  556. The nation, you have to possess the nation through Scripture and

  557. through the power of the Holy Spirit.

  558. We thank you all. Come.

  559. Indeed, you possess the nation through power of the Holy

  560. Spirit. You possess the nation through

  561. the Speaking of Your word. And indeed, this morning of word

  562. has made it clear unto us that you move and you speak unto the

  563. Samaritan woman. Indeed, you went through

  564. Samaritan. It is our time to go through

  565. Samaritan to speak that way to the people who are yet to listen

  566. to you. We thank you all God, we thank

  567. you Jesus, we thank you for your sister in Jesus name, Amen.

  568. When our speaker was speaking, he said he mentioned two things,

  569. the Jewish, and then he also mentioned the Samaritan in John

    John 4 chapter mention

  570. chapter 4, the verse #4 He said that now he had to go through

  571. Samaritan. Jesus had to go through

  572. Samaritan, and indeed he went through Samaritan a Samaria.

  573. He went through Samaria. Jesus went through Samaria and

  574. met the Samaritan woman. He spoke the word of God unto

  575. him, and then he she changed from what she was into a new

  576. leaf. This time it is you and I.

  577. We have a Samarian before us to go through and speak the word of

  578. God unto them. We all know that Jesus went

  579. through. He was filled with the Spirit.

  580. This time it is our time also to go through.

  581. We are praying that our Father should descend His Spirit unto

  582. us. He should fill us with the

  583. Spirit so that I'll be able to move and speak the word unto

  584. God. Let's lift up a prayer and ask

  585. God to descend the Spirit unto us.

  586. Father, oh God, we need your power, we need your spirit.

  587. We need to feel of your spirit, to move, to speak your way unto

  588. your people. We pray this morning, Oh God,

  589. and you descend your spirit unto us.

  590. Fill us with your spirit. Fill us with your spirit.

  591. Indeed, you said it is time for you to go through Samaria.

  592. It is time for you to go. It's our time now to go and

  593. speak your well to the people who are lost to the people we we

  594. think in our mind that they are as Samaritans people.

  595. We are praying. Our Father, O God, you descend

  596. your spirit unto us. Fall unto us your spirits,

  597. descend your spirit unto us, your God.

  598. So I'll be able to move and move and move and move and move so

  599. that we're able to go and speak your well unto your people.

  600. Feel as so God, feel as so God descend your Spirit unto us,

  601. fill us to go fill us once again, fill us once again.

  602. When the speaker one was saying he said that we have to have an

  603. encounter with Jesus. Have you have an encounter with

  604. God and when you did what was the changes in your life?

  605. She also spoke about the before and after this morning we have

  606. had an encounter with Jesus and it is my prayer that as we move

  607. out, our life will change. Sing.

  608. A. Song, it's your spirit.

  609. Will you have an encounter with Jesus this morning?

  610. Will you have an encounter with our love?

  611. Yeah, yeah. Pray for an encounter with our

  612. love. We are going to lift up our

  613. prayer this morning just to have an encounter.

  614. We go so that our before and our now, we have a great change.

  615. Let's sing a song within our spirit.

  616. Let's sing a song within our soul.

  617. Should I have an account? The one who changes destiny?

  618. He's ready this money to change your destiny.

  619. He's ready this money to change your destiny.

  620. He's ready this money to make things new in your life.

  621. That John chapter 4 verse 10 says that Jesus answered unto

    John 4:10

  622. him, if you knew the gift of God and he if you know the gift of

  623. God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you will have you

  624. will have asked him and he will give you the living waters.

  625. It will be born soon. If you know the one that is

  626. asking you for a drink this morning, Oh you, you rather to

  628. Oh, and living water. He is the one who will give us

  629. the living water. Let's lift up a prayer unto God

  630. to grant unto us the living waters.

  631. He is the living water. He is the living water.

  632. It is the living water that is axing to give on to us.

  633. The living water because He has said that if we know the one we

  634. are talking to, oh, the one who is asking us for a drink.

  635. Oh really? What an encounter with God.
