TOPIC: Christian Witnessing (II) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 28 December 2022)

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Nehemiah 9:1-37, Revelation 19:11-21, Psalm 148:7-14

FIRE SCRIPTURE: John 4:4-29 (KJV)

4 And he must needs go through Samaria.

5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

MEMORY VERSE: “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!” – Isaiah 52:7

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:
Always help someone. You may end up needing them next time.

PRAISE AND WORSHIP:
Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
SEEK FOR GOD AND NOT YOUR OWN IDEA OF GOD

MFM Devotional For Today 2022 MESSAGE:

We may hear of witnessing for Christ and not know the full import of the expression. I remember in those days that witch doctors did not really have sign boards to advertise themselves.

What people who go to them do was to tell others who have a similar problem like them. They would say, “I have one witch doctor somewhere, this problem is very small for him.” And like that they began to be known all over the place to the point that people will travel from adjourning towns and villages. Why? It is because somebody said he cured them of a similar disease or sickness.

Witnessing for Christ has also placed such a burden on us. Tell others that the Saviour is here and has paid the price for that ailment, has paid the price for that trouble or problem on the cross of Calvary. Encourage them to come to Him to appropriate the payment for themselves. The reason we need to tell others about Him again is because when we receive Him, others need to know of our new status. Philip did it in John 1:45, “Philip findeth Nathaniel, and saith unto Him, we have found him, of which Moses in the Law, and the Prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph.” This happened immediately he found the Lord – To tell others that we have changed from what we used to be to a new creature is to witness for Him, whether or not you are shy or do not feel like speaking about Him. We have been commissioned to tell others. And others we must tell. They must also hear it from us, tell them He heals, He saves and delivers.

Witnessing for Christ also shows that you are bearing fruits. John 15:16a says “Ye have not chosen me, but have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit and that your fruit should remain.”

We are branches and the Lord is the vine. As we are attached to Him, we will be able to bring forth fruit; without Him, we can’t bear fruit. Are you bearing fruit? If not, you can start today.
