Jesus And The
Samaritan Woman
By
The
Twelve Apostles
The Encounter With
Samaritan Woman
The Christian gate
into the kingdom of the Holy One was opened up, and Jesus and the six disciples
and Laamas left the Jordan ford and turned their faces
toward Galilee. Their way lay through Samaria, and as they journeyed on they
came to Sychar, which was near the plot of ground
that Jacob gave to Joseph when a youth. And Jacob's well was there, and Jesus
sat beside the well in silent thought, and His disciples went into the town to
purchase bread.
A woman of the town came out to fill her pitcher from the well; and Jesus was
athirst, and when He asked the woman for a drink she said, “I am a woman of
Samaria, and you are an Israelite; do you not know that there is enmity between
Samaritans and Israelites? They traffic not; then why ask me the favour of a
drink?”
And Jesus said, “Samaritans and Israelites are all the children of one God, our
Father-God, and they are kin.
It is but prejudice born of the carnal mind that breeds this enmity and hate.
While I was born an Israelite, I recognize the brotherhood of life. Samaritans
are just as dear to me as an Israelite or Greek. And then had you but known the
blessings that our Father-God has sent to men by me, you would have asked me
for a drink. And I would gladly have given you a cup of water from the Fountain
of Life, and you would never thirst again.”
The woman said, “This well is deep, and you have nothing with which to draw;
how could you get the water that you speak about?”
And Jesus said, “The water that I speak about comes not from Jacob's well. It
flows from springs that never fail. Lo, everyone who drinks from Jacob's well
will thirst again; but they who drink the water that I give will never thirst
again; For they themselves become a well, and from their inner parts the
sparkling waters bubble up into eternal life.”
The woman said, “Sir,
I would drink from that rich well of life. Give me to drink, that I may thirst
no more.”
And Jesus said, “Go call your husband from the town that he may share with you
this living cup.”
The woman said, “I have no husband, sir.”
And Jesus answered her and said, “You scarcely know what husband means; you
seem to be a gilded butterfly that flits from flower to flower. To you there is
no sacredness in marriage ties, and you affinitize with any man. And you have
lived with five of them who were esteemed as husbands by your friends.”
The woman said, “Sir,
I perceive that you are a prophet. Please tell me who
you are.”
And Jesus said, “I need not tell you who I am for you have read the Law, the
Prophets and the Psalms that tell of me. I am one come to break away the walls
that separate the sons of men. In Holy Spirit, there is no Greek, nor
Israelite, and no Samaritan; no bond, nor free; for all are one.”
The woman asked, “Our fathers worshiped on this mountain; and
you say that in Jerusalem is the place where humanity should worship, and that they should not worship in our holy mountain?”
And Jesus said, “What you have said, I do not say. One place is just as sacred
as another place. Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on
this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship God the Father. You worship
what you do not know. We worship what we know, the true God, who is God the
Father in heaven, for salvation is from the Israelites. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the
true worshipers will worship God the Father in spirit and truth, for such the
Father seeks to worship Him. God is
spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. The hour has come when men
must worship God within the temple of their hearts, and the one true Covenant
System Of Worship is more than sufficient.”
The woman said, “I know that Messiah is coming. He who is
called Christ. And when He comes, He will show us all things and lead us
in the ways of truth.”
And Jesus said, “Behold, the Christ has come. The Messiah speaks to you. I who speak to you am He.”
While Jesus yet was
talking to the woman at the well, the six disciples came from Sychar with the food.
And when they saw Him talking to a woman of Samaria, and one they thought a
courtesan, they were amazed; yet no one asked Him why He spoke with her. The
woman was so lost in thought and so intent on what the master said, that she
forgot her errand to the well; she left her pitcher and ran quickly to the
town.
She told the people all about the prophet she had met at Jacob's well; she
said, “He told me everything I ever did.” And when the people would know more
about the man, the woman said, “Come out and see. And multitudes went out to
Jacob's well.”
When Jesus saw them come, He said to those who followed Him, “You need not say,
it is four months before the harvest time. Behold, the harvest time is now.
Lift up your eyes and look; the fields are golden with the ripened grain. Lo,
many sowers have gone forth to sow the seeds of life; the seed has grown; the
plants have strengthened in the summer sun; the grain has ripened, and the
master calls for men to reap. And you shall go out in the fields and reap what
other men have sown; but when the reckoning day shall come the sowers and the
reapers all together will rejoice.”
And Philip said to
Jesus, “Stay now your work a time and sit beneath this olive tree and eat a
portion of this food; you must be faint for you have eaten nothing since early
day.”
But Jesus said, “I am not faint, for I have food to eat you which you do not
know of.”
Then the disciples
said among themselves, “Who could have brought Him something to eat?” They did
not know that He had power to turn the very ethers into bread. And Jesus said,
“The Master of the harvest never sends His reapers forth and feeds them not. My
Father who has sent me forth into the harvest field of human life will never
suffer me to want; and when He calls for you to serve, lo, He will give you
food, will clothe and shelter you.”
Then turning to the people of Samaria, He said, “Think not it strange that I,
an Israelite, should speak to you, for I am one with you. The universal Christ
who was and is, and evermore shall be, is manifest in me; but Christ belongs to
every man. God scatters forth His blessings with a lavish hand, and he is not
more kind to one than to another one of all the creatures of His hand. I just
came up from Judah's hills, and God's same sun was shining and his flowers were
blooming, and in the night His stars were just as bright as they are here. God
cannot cast a child away; the Israelite, the Greek and the Samaritan are equal
in His sight.
And why should men and women fret and quarrel, like children in their plays?
The lines that separate the sons of men are made of straw, and just a single
breath of love would blow them all away.” The people were amazed at what the
stranger said, and many said, “The Christ that was to come has surely come.”
And Jesus went with them into the town, and tarried certain days.
There came a woman of Samar′ia
to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” For His disciples had gone away into the city
to buy food.
The Samaritan woman said to Him,
“How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samar′ia?”
For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
Jesus answered her, “If you knew
the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you
would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
The woman said to Him, “Sir, you
have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; where do you get that living
water? Are you greater than our father
Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his
cattle?”
Jesus said to her, “Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again, but
whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. The water
that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to
eternal life.”
The woman said to Him, “Sir, give
me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and
come here.”
The woman answered Him, “I have
no husband.”
Jesus said to her, “You are right
in saying, ‘I have no husband’; for you have had five husbands, and he whom you
now have is not your husband; this you said truly.”
The woman said to Him, “Sir, I
perceive that you are a prophet. Our
fathers worshiped on this mountain; and you say that in Jerusalem is the place
where men ought to worship.”
Jesus said to her, “Woman,
believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem
will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what
we know, for salvation is from the Israelites.
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will
worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship
him. God is spirit, and those who
worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
The woman said to Him, “I know
that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when He comes, He will show
us all things.” Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.”
Just then his disciples came.
They marveled that He was talking with a woman, but none said, “What do you
wish?” or, “Why are you talking with her?”
So the woman left her water jar, and went away into the city, and said
to the people, “Come, see a man who told me all that I
ever did. Can this be the Christ?” They
went out of the city and were coming to him. John 4:1-30
Jesus Teaches, Delivers And Heal People
In Sychar Jesus taught the people in the market
place. A man obsessed was brought to Him. The wicked spirit that possessed the
man was full of violence and lust, and often threw his victim to the ground.
And Jesus spoke aloud and said, “Base spirit, loose your hold upon the vitals
of this man, and go back to your own.” And then the spirit begged that he might
go into the body of a dog that stood nearby. But Jesus said, “Why harm the
helpless dog? Its life is just as dear to it as mine to me. It is not yours to
throw the burden of your sin on any living thing. By your own deeds and evil
thoughts you have brought all these perils on yourself. You have hard problems
to be solved; but you must solve them for yourself. By thus obsessing man you
make your own conditions doubly sad. Go back into your own domain; refrain from
harming anything, and, by and by, you will, yourself,
be free.” The wicked spirit left the man and went unto his own. The man
looked up in thankfulness and said, “Praise God.” And many of the people
brought their sick, and Jesus spoke the Word, and they were healed.
Timing
Lord, what is sixth hour?
That is afternoon, 12:00noon.
What is the tenth hour?
That is evening, 4:00pm.
Jesus answered
and said to her, "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." John 4:10
Explanations:
Even so the Holy Spirit is saying to the teeming world
populations, for the same Jesus Christ has reincarnated as the man who saw God
face to face, before more than forty (40) times, and now more than seventy (70)
times.
The woman said to
Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then
do You get that living water? Are You
greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself,
as well as his sons and his livestock?"
Jesus answered
and said to her, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but
whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the
water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up
into everlasting life."
The woman said to
Him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to
draw." John 4:13-15
Explanations:
1.
You do not first need earthly money and wealth to get the water
of life or everlasting life, which God gives to people who do His will. Only obedience
to the word of God is necessary, in addition to quiet time and meditation.
2.
Very disappointingly, most of the people and their numerous
religious leaders are not as humble as the Samarian woman who said, "Sir, give me this water, that I may
not thirst, nor come here to draw."
3.
They are like parable of foolish traders, who carried fake
products to the market. And though they saw the good and original products
inside the market, at cheaper prices, would not throw away the fake products
(wrong teachings and earthly riches) and buy the good products (the true
teachings and everlasting life). They allow everyday hustle and bustle, noisy
and boisterous lifestyles, to deny them quite times and meditation, which are
the gateways into the kingdom of heaven.
Use Prophecy To
Bring People To God
So the
woman left her water jar, and went away into the city, and said to the people,
“Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can
this be the Christ?” They went out of the city and were coming to him. John 4:28-30
Explanations:
1.
The purpose of prophecy is to bring people to God and to guide
the church in the paths of righteousness. It is not for everyday earthly money
and wealth, as the numerous churches, ministries and fellowships are doing
nowadays.
2.
Do not form the habit of always prophesying immediately people
come to you for prayers and consultation.
3.
Already, the Devil has misled so many ministers and multitudes,
who use or patronize demonic prophecies.
Worship In Spirit And In Truth
The woman said to Him,
"Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. Our
fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the
place where one ought to worship."
Jesus said to her, "Woman,
believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither
on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship what you do
not know; we know worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for
the Father is seeking such to worship Him what we worship, for salvation is of
the Israelites. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true. God is
Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John
4:19-24
Explanations:
1.
Whoever that wants to worship God in spirit and in truth, must
read the scriptures, the books of Holy Moses and the prophets of God, which
Jesus read, called Old Testament, and do exactly what is written in them. Only
such people do the will of God, and are fit to enter the kingdom.
2.
For you to worship God in spirit and in truth, you must study and
practice Spiritual Science. For God is spirit.
3.
Man has developed all things, but failed to develop himself. He
boasts of Computer Science, Physical Science, Chemical Science, Social Science,
Political Science, etc, but has neglected the most
important one, which is Spiritual Science.
4.
You should know that shoes, sandals, slippers and stockings
produce noisy vibrations, which are distractions, and which do not allow people
to worship God in spirit and in truth. That was why God told Moses to remove
his sandals.
The Messiah Again
The woman said to Him, "I
know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When He comes,
He will tell us all things."
Jesus said to her, "I who
speak to you am He." John 4:25,26
Explanations:
1.
Likewise, I am Jesus who wrote all these things you are now
reading. I am the man who saw God face to face, before more than forty (40)
times, and now more than seventy (70) times.
2.
Many are like the Samaritan woman, who are not able to recognize
and respond to the Holy Spirit, because they failed to study and practise
Spiritual Science.
3.
Even so, many people have met, worked with, lived with or
travelled in the same vehicle with Jesus Christ. They failed to recognize Him
because their spiritual eyes were closed, and because they did not study and
practice Spiritual Science. Besides, many were not humble enough to know the
Truth. Many deceive themselves by boasting, saying, “My church is the best.”
But, many churches that claim to be the best are indeed among the worst.
Meaning Of ‘Time Is Coming And
Now Is’
1. Time
is already due.
2. But,
people are not yet ready.
3. Eventually,
people shall become ready.
4. It
shall be unavoidable.
5. With
time and experiences, people shall become ready to do so.
6. What
we call time is the everlasting now.
7. The
concept of time was developed by repetition and sequence of events.
8. In
other words, time does not exist, but seems to exist.
9. The
same now was yesterday, is today and shall be tomorrow.
10. What
we call Eternity simply means the Eternal Now.
11. Also,
the statement means henceforth.
Why The
Disciples Were Surprised
And at this point His disciples came, and
they marvelled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why are You talking with
her?" John 4:27
Son of man, the way the record of the Jesus and the Samaritan woman, do
you see that it is complete? Yes, my Lord.
Why did they make this record about Jesus and the Samaritan woman
complete?
Hmm?
It is because the Holy Spirit blocked their way, because this record is
very important. It shows how to serve and worship God Almighty.
Son of man, yourself answered correctly.
Son of man, another reason is that it shows that whatever the FirstSon
of God does, anywhere that the thing happened, the record should be written and
safe kept.
Son of man, the record about Jesus and the Samaritan woman is complete
and correct.
The next record, is it correct? Lord, let us know, because nobody can
say the truth. Son of man, the record is correct.
Son of man, why did we, the disciples, saw Jesus talking to the woman,
why were we surprised? It may be according to the tradition, as it was.
Perhaps, the women were excluded, not allowed into the mainstream of power,
leadership and decision-making process.
That is number one.
Number two?
The disciples were seeing the woman as a sinner. They supposed to allow
the woman because everybody has the right to come to the FirstSon of God.
Yes.
Is that all? Another point is that, since the FirstSon has welcomed her,
themselves should not reject her.
Son of man, there is this fact.
When ourselves started to follow Jesus, there
were many bad behaviours in ourselves. We did not allow women to join us in
following the FirstSon of God.
Son of man, we were surprised to see Jesus with the Samaritan woman, because
according to our understanding before, the FirstSon is holy and was not
supposed for Himself to stay with a woman. We thought that it was not right for
women to touch His body.
Son of man, do you know that at first, while we moved with the FirstSon,
when we come to a multitude, we usually formed a circle around the FirstSon, so
that the women should not touch His body.
Son of man, do you know why?
…
What does that show?
Does it show people who have grown in spirit? On the one hand, it shows
people who have not grown in spirit. And on the other hand, it shows …
Son of man, it shows that ourselves, the
disciples, were still growing in spirit. Women, we did not allow women to come
close to Jesus.
Among the Twelve Apostles, yourselves did not ask, why were not women
among The Twelve Apostles? The understanding was that the work of the apostles
was the work for men. Some understood it that the women were not holy enough to
do such works. Or, that women were not supposed to do such works. Sometimes, women
are not allowed because they cause a lot of quarrels and misunderstandings.
That is number three point.
What of number four point? Such work was perceived as being tedious for
the women.
Prophecy Unto
Salvation
The purpose of
prophecy is to lead the children of God in the paths of righteousness unto
salvation. God never intended prophecy to be so rampant and everywhere, for
seeking earthly gains, money and wealth. Today, many ministers of God are using
prophecy to do what people want, because people expect prophecies from the
ministers. Such ministers are no longer working for God, because they are no
longer prophesying according to the will of God.
The woman then left her waterpot,
went her way into the city, and said to the men, "Come, see
a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?"
Then they went out of the city and came to Him. John 4:28-30
Many Samaritans from that city believed in him
because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me
all that I ever did.” So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to
stay with them; and he stayed there two days. And many more believed because of
his word. They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of your words that
we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed
the Saviour of the world.” John 4:39-42
Why those
people did followed the woman to Jesus? It was because of truth, because of the
woman’s testimony and because the Holy Spirit had already taken position in
them. They are people to be saved.
Son of man,
yourself answered very well. Your answer is excellent.
Son of man,
whoever that stays close to the FirstSon of God, Jesus Christ, the power of the
Holy Spirit from the body of Jesus enters the person’s body.
Not Because Of Testimony
What should
be written here is not testimony. Rather, the Holy Spirit had taken possession
of them, and the Holy Spirit wanted those people to be saved. Therefore, the
Holy Spirit took possession of them and made them to believe. In addition, the
Holy Spirit gave them the spirit and power to follow the woman to find Jesus.
They came to Jesus because of the truth. That is why the record reads,
And many more believed because of his word.
They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of your words that we believe,
for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Saviour of
the world.” John 4:41-42
Son of man,
you have heard it. The Holy Spirit was at work.
Son of man,
what is truth?
The truth
is God the Father in heaven. He is God the Father, the FirstSon and the Holy
Spirit.
Son of man,
it was not because of testimony. Remove the word, testimony.
Son of man,
ourselves, the apostles and disciples, had so many testimonies, which we have
to tell. St Paul De Evangelist had many testimonies to give. Apostle John, who
wrote the book of Revelations, had many testimonies to give. Son of man,
ourselves, the disciples of Jesus have many testimonies. The word testimony is
removed from the holy book.
Today, so
many people are attending churches, ministries and fellowships, because of the
testimonies being given in those places of man-made worship. Such people are
not seeking God with all their heart, because they are looking for testimonies,
looking for solutions to their problems and needs. The true worshippers go to
the temple of God, because of their love for God.
Many Are Prophesying When The
Lord Has Not Spoken
"Come, see a Man who told me all things
that I ever did…" John 4:29
Explanations
Son of man,
somebody is telling you something, and yourself sees that what he is saying is
true and real. Son of man, it is not only that the FirstSon told her all that
she had done, many prophecies are good. Prophesying is good, but there is
prophecy above all prophecies. It is true that the prophecies are accurate
messages but they are not true prophecies, because the Holy Spirit is not in
those prophets and visioners. And they do not give people such prophecies that
shall lead people to salvation. They are prophesying of earthly things and
gains, telling people what people like to hear, without telling people the will
of God.it is not what God wants that they are prophesying about. The trending
ministers and their numerous churches, ministries and fellowships, are prophesying
and people are rushing to them. but, these religious leaders and the multitudes
following them do not know that God Almighty and the Hosts of Angels and Saints
of heaven have come down to the earth, for the end time and for the Armageddon
battle. They do not know this DivineBase Ministry and are not telling people
about it, because the Holy Spirit is not in
them. They are using devilish powers of vision, just as Prophet Jeremiah
warned, saying,
Thus says
Yahweh the Lord of Hosts:
"Do
not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
They make
you worthless;
They speak
a vision of their own heart,
Not from
the mouth of the Lord.
They
continually say to those who despise Me,
'The Lord
has said, "You shall have peace"';
And to everyone
who walks according to the dictates of his own heart, they say,
'No evil
shall come upon you.’ ” Jeremiah 23:16,17
"I
have not sent these prophets, yet they ran.
I have not
spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
But if they
had stood in My counsel,
And had
caused My people to hear My words,
Then they
would have turned them from their evil way
And from
the evil of their doings.” Jeremiah 23:21,22
Explanations:
1.
Likewise,
the duty of every minister is to teach people the Everlasting Covenant of God,
and encourage them to remain steadfast in doing so.
2.
They
leave this very important duty, because each person is busy expanding his
personal church business.
3.
Also, it
is the duty of the ministers to direct people to the city of the rising sun,
DivineBase Ministry, where God is present and manifest, in the end of the end
time.
4.
They are
failing in this second duty because of pride, selfishness and jealousy, all
which lead to hell fire.
5.
They are
not on the side of the Lord and Saviour, and therefore are working against Him.
6.
And they
are not gathering with Him, instead they are scattering abroad, by holding
multitudes captives inside those prisons called churches, ministries and
fellowships.
7.
Blessed
are those Samaritans, who turned a little conversation into a golden
opportunity that won so many souls for God.
8.
Compare
them with the present generations of humanity, who are busy cursing the man who
saw God face to face, and are adding bad comments to His writings, teachings
and publications
9.
Even the
villagers, the natives, were busy plotting against him, holding meeting to
frustrate him or making charms to disorganize his ministry.
10.
But, all
their evil plans and actions failed them, and the ministry grow bigger and
bigger, and stronger and stronger, from day to day.
11.
Every
minister of God is expected and called to gather people to God, and not to
build and expand his personal church business.
12.
Blessed
are those who see true signs and wonders from God and believe, as well as
remain steadfast in the true worship of God, which is Sabbath.
13.
Disappointingly,
many come just to steal blessings from the house of God, and turn their backs
on God the moment their prayers are answered.
Spiritual Food
Meanwhile
the disciples besought him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.” But he said to them, “I have
food to eat of which you do not know.” So the disciples said to one another,
“Has any one brought him food?” Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will
of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work. Do you not say, ‘There are yet
four months, then comes the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see
how the fields are already white for harvest. He who reaps receives wages, and
gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.
For here the saying holds true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to
reap that for which you did not labor; others have labored, and you have
entered into their labor.” John 4:31-38
Explanations:
1. Prophetically, and spiritually, to eat food means
to do one’s duty as assigned to him by God.
2. If a person sees himself eating food in dream
or spirit, it means to do God’s work.
3. Hence, not every dream meal is bad.
4. And not every dream meal is from the evil
spirits.
5. Doing the work of God is eating food, because
God gives the spirit for the work.
6. The same spirit is food and it grows and
multiplies as the person does his work.
7. By saying all these things, Jesus made it
clear that it should be our primary concern and duty to do and to complete our
God-given assignments here on earth.
8. Many fail to do their works, and are everyday
busy giving God uncountable reasons and excuses, which are irrelevant excuses.
9. So many husbands are not allowing and are not
supporting their wives who have divine call to minister.
10.
Likewise,
companies, offices and organizations are not giving due support to God’s work.
They are more interested in making more money and profits, which are earthly
things, and which mislead people into the hell fire.
11.
Quite
often, people say ‘God first’. But, in practice, they place God last, and many
do not even remember to give God a fraction of their chance.
One Sows And Another Reaps
Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months,
then comes the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see how the fields
are already white for harvest. He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit
for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. For here the
saying holds true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap that for
which you did not labor; others have labored, and you have entered into their
labour.” John 4:35-38
Explanations
Son of man,
what is white with harvest?
All the
fields are already white? It means all the people that desire to worship God in
spirit and in truth. They are seeking for the right place where they shall
worship God, but have not found. They are in various nations of the world.
‘One sows and another reaps.’ John 4:37
Son of man,
what does this statement mean? Since the creation of the world, the Hosts of
Angels and Saints of heaven have being working for the good and salvation of
humanity. Also, the great men and women of God have being laboring, coming to
this world by reincarnations, performing various works for the good and
salvation of humanity.
Son of man,
yourself answered very well. It shows, compares, the ancient people and the
modern people. The ancient people were already working, before ourselves the
disciples, started to work.
The point
here is that the presence of the FirstSon of God, Jesus Christ, in our midst
makes things very easy for us. Our promotion, our rise in spiritual level was
made easy and fast, by the presence of Jesus Christ, far more than the
promotion, spiritual growth, of the people before us.
That is why
the present and modern generations, who are now in this world, as at year 2022,
should strive, because Jesus Christ has reincarnated as the man who saw God
face to face, in their midst.
Tell them.
Deliver
this message to them:
If they are
wise, let them start doing their works, now that you are here present in the
world. Let them follow you behind. And when you shall round off, conclude, your
works, when they complete their works, here on earth, there is nothing that
shall prevent them from entering the kingdom of heaven. Their promotion shall
be very easy and fast.
A Prophet Is Everywhere Honourable
After the two days he departed to Galilee. For
Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in
his own country. So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having
seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they too had gone to
the feast. John 4:43-45
This
statement is not true, because a prophet starts from his father’s land, his
native land, to be powerful and effective. Then his fame, powerfulness and
efficacy spread to all the ends of the earth, unto all nations. That is why
people come from different nations to consult the prophet. That statement is
devil’s way of deceiving people, thereby making people to ignore the word of
God spoken by the prophet in their midst.
Son of man,
the bible authors wrote the statement, “A prophet is without honour…,” because
of the great persecution which they suffered at that time. Son of man, people
were afraid to say the truth, because the truth is bitter and discomforting to
the evil doers. It is not that a prophet is without honour in his father’s
land. It is not that a prophet is not powerful and effective. Son of man, a
prophet is effective, and has honour in his native land. He starts from his
native land to be powerful, effective and honourable. A true prophet of God is
everywhere honoured, at least by the Hosts of Angels following and working with
him. And when people ignore the prophecies of a true minister of God, his honour
is glorified when the fulfilment of his prophecies suddenly comes upon them.
Son of man,
any family in which there is a prophet of God, that family Holy Spirit the
light of God.
Son of man,
is this burning candle effective or not? It is effective.
Then, why
should people say that a prophet, who is light of God, is not effective? It is
the strategy Satan uses to make people develop cold heart unto the true
prophets of God, so that people shall not hear, welcome and practice the truth.
Son of man,
yourself have to explain this truth very well, for people to understand why the
FirstSon said that a prophet is without honour….. It is a parable. It does not
mean that a prophet is without honour in his native land. It shall be changed.
A prophet starts from his father’s land to be powerful and effective, except
that great persecution befall those who say the truth, thereby making the
hearts of the saints cold.
When people
supposed to respect, honour and support the things of God, many people fail to
do so. Thereby, discouraging the few active ones who are doing what God said,
and making people to disregard the things of God.
Son of man,
many people do not have the heart for worshipping God. Many do not even desire
to serve and worship God. But, there are some who are seeking the face of God
the Father in heaven.
Son of man,
time is coming, when the children of God shall read what is written in the holy
book and themselves shall understand. The Holy Spirit will explain it to them
and themselves shall understand.
Explanations:
1.
Blessed
is every family, group or congregation that welcomes and obeys the man who saw
God face to face.
2.
Likewise,
every one that welcomes a true minister of God and does the will of God.
Correction …second sign
This was now the second sign that Jesus did
when he had come from Judea to Galilee. John 4:54
The words,
second sign, shall be changed into, another sign, because Jesus performed so
many signs before and after the wedding in Cana.
