The Women at the Well

I was meditating upon the Word today early in the morning, and the Lord told me to write a note explicitly dedicated to women today.

When we turn the pages of the Bible, from the beginning, we learn when God created Adam, God knew Adam could not be alone, and hence, he made a helper for man. He formed a woman from the ribs of Man. This is the early evidence of the importance of women in our daily lives.

Let us look at the scripture for meditation today

John chap 4: 27-30

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?” Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” They came out of the town and made their way toward him.

This is a very famous scripture passage in the Bible where we all know the story of the Samaritan Women at the well. We grew up knowing this story. But I believe the Lord wants to bring us to another level of understanding.

As I was meditating upon this verse today, I believe the Lord Jesus Christ was revealing himself to the Samaritan women. The good news was that she was receptive to hearing the Word.

The women didn’t walk away. The woman was there for a specific job, trying to draw water from the well. This shows that she was doing her chores. But when she heard that Jesus was the Messiah, she listened, and then she didn’t stop there; she went back to the town to share with Him.

As I was meditating upon this passage, there was something important: the Lord spoke to the Samaritan women.

John chap 4: 23-24

‘‘ Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and truth.”

God can only relate to us by communing with us in Spirit. God wants us to speak to Him. As ladies, we often have plenty of chores to do in a day. The responsibilities of a daughter, mother, grandmother, and working professional are not easy. But the Lord is reminding us that He wants to use us to be his vessel.

Setting aside time to worship God in Spirit is essential. That is the only time we draw strength in the Lord. It is risky to do our daily chores without faithfully setting aside time with the Lord. We must remember this is the time we are drawing from Him.

Matthew 4:4 NIV

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Our human body can sustain itself with daily bread. With our daily diet. But our human Spirit can only be sustained by the Word of God.

If you are a woman struggling in an area of your life today, I would like to pray for you. Always remember, you are cherished by God. Spending time with The Word of God is the only way out.

Do not read the bible for the sake of religiously doing it, but look forward to the specific time with the Lord expecting to have an encounter with the Lord.

The Lord is faithful. He would not let you go.

Say this today : ”I will have an encounter with the Lord.”

Prayer for today: ”Abba Father,I thank you, Lord for grace.The Grace of God upon every women who is reading this note today. I pray Lord as you speak to them,they will have an encounter with you, Lord.I pray, Lord for their hearts and minds are open to hear from you.”Amen.
