English John 4:12


Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 12. Are you greater than our Father? Jacob He gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and did his sons and his livestock. We observe the claims of the Samaritans, to be the descendant of Abraham, the son of Joseph and actually of Jacob himself who have dug the well.

Jacob always seems to be running from someone or something, from Essu his brother, who wanted to kill him, then from Laban, his father-in-law. And from the famine in Canaan, he flew to Egypt with his family. When he was fleeing from Essu, he saw in a vision a ladder and in a vision the Majesty and the glory of God.
At Bethel, when he saw God, he worshiped God and he made a wow to take  Yahweh as his God at paniel, while he was returning back from the his father-in-law Leban, Jacob ressuled face to face with God, he taught him the value of continued prayer from one who is helpless Jacob emerged from paniel, willing to let his life fall into God's control. He was wounded, but Victorious God gave him a crippled body but a strengthened Faith. It was a new Jacob with a new name, Israel. The woman asked, are you greater than our father? Jacob, yes, Jesus is greater than any Saints of the Old Testament and also the New Testament because he is the son of God. That is God himself. Today also many people worship a man of God Considering him to be greater than God in their life. This well was considered by the Samaritans to be holy and the water sacred. Today also many people consider a place of pilgrim holy and they go to those places.

But Matthew 18, 20 says, Jesus said that, where two or three are gathered in my name, I will be there, John 4, 23 says, but the hour is coming. And is now here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth 

Prayer 

Let us pray. Heavenly Father.
I thank you, Lord. That Jacob was an example to us. Lord, let our lives be like Jacob committing our life to a life of prayer. I pray, God that you will bless us and strengthen us. Oh, God help us  Lord, to know that there is no one is greater than Jesus.
I commit myself. And each one of us into the hands of Jesus. We love you. We praise you. Jesus name! I pray. Amen! God bless you.

John 4:1,2

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4th chapter and verses one and two. We are studying from the fourth chapter of John from today. Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees have heard that Jesus was baptizing more disciples than John, although Jesus himself did not baptize but only his disciples. In this verse we again see about baptism Jesus and his disciples along with John was baptizing in the same place. It is not written whether Jesus and his disciples followed the baptism of John. We do not know. The difference between John's baptism and the Christian baptism is given clearly in the Bible. In Acts 19:3,4, we read " 'Unto what where you baptized?' And they said 'unto John's baptism' . Then Paul said, 'John verily, baptized with the baptism of repentance saying unto the people they that they should believe on Jesus Christ who is to come after him' ". John was preparing a people for Jesus coming. And they repented of...

MY TESTIMONY

Maria and I were married on 29th July 1981. In 1982 My colleague in Mico called me for a prayer meeting in which I accepted Jesus as my personal savior this changed my life . I was born again I began to trust God for all things in my life. The first tragedy struck us when Maria was diagnosed with a heart problem in 1986. At that time, Mr. Dorairaj told us to seek God's help and so we went to his house for prayer. When we went for prayer pastor said that God has already healed her as we had come in faith expecting a miracle. We did the Cardiac Catheterization test at Sindi Hospital and she was found to be perfectly fine, God gave her a lease of life. In 1987, Danny was born despite the fact that the doctors had told us there would be complications during childbirth, but by God's grace, Maria had a normal delivery. In 2003, she again became ill and the doctor suggested for an open-heart surgery. We fixed the surgery after much prayer at Narayana Hrudayalaya. On 27th May in the ...
