HOW TO RECEIVE A GREATER THAN SOLOMON - Witness Series 004
PERCEPTION THAT HAS BEEN ASSISTED - Part 1 B
Read John 4:5-28
John 4:16-19, KJV
"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. 19The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet".
This is the part B of yesterday's teaching I subtitled "Perceive His Presence For Who He Is". This woman perceived by symptoms. In receiving a greater than Solomon where you are, you can be assisted to identify him just by symptoms. Such greater than Solomon may give off signs or symptoms by his calling or what God has made him. In today's reading, Jesus struck a conversation with a Samaritan woman on water which went into Jesus' advertisement of living water to the woman. While the conversation was ongoing however, Jesus requested this woman to call her husband to come also when she begged Jesus to give her the water that'll make her not to thirst again or come to fetch the well water often. On this note, she said she has no husband. Jesus then commended her for speaking well and as well reveal her past life as one who has had five husbands in the past. To take it further, the one she has now is not even her husband.
Seeing this, the woman in rude shock said, "I perceive you're a prophet!". How did this woman get to the place of smelling Jesus as a prophet? She saw symptoms of Jesus being one. How could He know my past and even my present when He's a total stranger. From her comment of enquiry, she knew no human gave Jesus any information about her. They were just meeting. To affirm the authenticity of Jesus' prophecy, one was a Jew and the other a Samaritan. These two don't have dealings together.
If someone begins to tell you of yourself: of things that had been, that are in being or will be, such can't but be a prophet. He is if he has no fore knowledge of these things from any source except from the Spirit of revelation. Despite her earlier refusal, this is how Jesus was revealed to the woman as a greater presence or somebody to receive. If you study downward, you'll see that it became easy for Jesus winning her heart because of this miracle of prophecy by which her life was dissected. So, when she said, "I know that the Messiah comes who will tell us all things" while Jesus responded being the Messiah, she didn't act stubborn like before but rather received and responded to Jesus by immediately going into the city to shout, "come and see the man who ever told me all I ever did". Did you see that this woman didn't hold back when she discovers a greater than Solomon. She shouted and said, "Come and see Him. Come and see a man of great deed who knows the past and even the present".
Anyone who's greater than Solomon must be a fellow who impresses by his works. Solomon was regarded as wise and there were proofs that he was wise. He had great and mighty works to his testimony. One was how he discerned who owned the baby claimed by two mothers yet without a witness to prove one wrong or the other right. This prophecy here amidst other reveals Jesus as a presence to honour. The woman did this to the utmost by bringing the whole town to Jesus. Don't forget that by your believing and testimony, others will believe in Jesus or any you testify of as being a greater presence. So, whomsoever honour is due, give to such. If such is a man who has told you all you ever did (and has really impressed you), don't keep shut and deny his works. Spread why He's a greater presence in admiration and love. As you go, mark symptoms so you won't be tempted to treat a Jesus like a nobody or even equate Him to a Solomon. Glory differs from glory. There's the glory of the sun, moon or even the stars but one excels others. Jesus differs from Solomon in assignment and destiny. He that comes to save man from their sins ought to be given better attention if one will have an eternity.
PRAYER: May I not be dull in seeing, hearing and knowing even when the signs are obvious. May I see and be moved.
