WHAT DOES DREAMING ABOUT AN ACCIDENT MEAN?

Dreams about accidents can appear in many different forms. Some people dream of motorcycle crashes, others see car accidents, plane crashes, shipwrecks, or train collisions. Sometimes the dream involves someone being hit by a vehicle or cars colliding. Regardless of the scenario, these dreams carry one common theme: an accident.

To understand the true meaning of such a dream, it is important to first identify which spiritual category you belong to:

1. For Those Who Are Born Again (Saved Believers)

If you are born again—meaning you have placed your faith in Christ and are confident in your standing before God—then understand that God is using this dream to warn you about an impending event. It may be an accident you will encounter personally, or it may affect someone else, or happen in a specific place. Your role is to enter into earnest prayer and spiritual warfare, breaking the plans of the enemy that may have been devised against you or others. Use the authority given to you in the name of Jesus to rebuke and cancel these evil schemes (Luke 10:19; Ephesians 6:10–18).

Do not ignore the weight of this warning. God reveals such things so that you may stand firm as a soldier of Christ and contend with the spiritual battle before the calamity unfolds (Job 33:14–15, ESV: “For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it… in a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, while they slumber on their beds…”)

2. For Those Who Are Still in Sin (Not Saved)

If you are living in sin, having not repented or accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, this dream serves as a serious warning. It signals that God’s judgment is near. The accident in the dream may symbolize sudden death or the impending consequence of being caught in your sins with no escape (Hebrews 9:27).

Consider the strong words from Ezekiel 7:6–10 (NIV):

“The end has come, the end has come! It has dawned for you, the doom has come.
Doom has come upon you, you who live in the land; the time has come, the day is near— a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.
‘The sword will come against you, I will bring death upon you, and I will judge you according to your ways and punish you for all your detestable practices.
My eye will not spare, I will show no pity. Though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, I will not listen.’
“The time has come! The day has arrived! Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller mourn, for wrath is upon all their multitude.
The time has come, the day has come; it is the time of my anger; I will pour out my wrath on the sinful nation.
The sword has come to my people, the rod of my anger, to punish and avenge them. It will strike down the people of the land.”

This passage vividly describes the inevitable judgment awaiting those who refuse to repent. If you are living in sin—whether it be sexual immorality, theft, idolatry, or any other transgression—the “accident” in your dream symbolizes the spiritual destruction or physical calamity that awaits you unless you turn from your ways.

A Call to Repentance

If you see yourself in the second group, do not delay in turning to Christ. The Lord Jesus offers forgiveness and new life to anyone who genuinely repents (1 John 1:9). He could have allowed judgment to come suddenly and without warning, but out of His great mercy, He warns you in advance through these dreams.

Today is the day of salvation. Open your heart, repent of your sins, and receive Jesus Christ as your Savior. He will forgive you, restore your life, and protect you from the calamities the enemy intended for you (2 Corinthians 5:17; Isaiah 43:18–19).

If you are ready to repent today, you can start with a prayer like this:

Prayer of Repentance:

“Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner and I need Your mercy. I believe You died for my sins and rose again to give me new life. I repent of all my sins and ask You to forgive me. Please come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Help me to live for You from this day forward. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

May God bless you richly.

WOMAN, DAUGHTER, MOTHER (Part 3)

This is the third part in a teaching series for women. In the first and second parts, we explored why the Lord Jesus, in certain cases, identified women not by their personal names, but by titles such as “Woman” or “Daughter.” There’s a divine reason behind this. If you haven’t had the chance to review those teachings, feel free to message us we’ll send them to you.

Today, we move forward to explore why some women were addressed by Jesus as “Mother.”

The Title “Mother” Is a Mark of Spiritual Maturity

To be called a mother is not a light thing it is a title of spiritual maturity. One does not become a mother by title alone. A mother is someone who has given birth or has taken on the responsibility of raising and nurturing others.

Jesus, during His earthly ministry, encountered many women. But not all were called “Daughter,” and not all were called “Mother.” These titles were reserved for those who had reached a certain spiritual stature.

Let’s look at a few examples from Scripture to understand what qualifies a woman to be seen by Jesus as a “mother.”

1. The Canaanite Woman  A Mother in Faith and Intercession

Matthew 15:21–28 (ESV)

“And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, ‘Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.’
But he did not answer her a word.
And his disciples came and begged him, saying, ‘Send her away, for she is crying out after us.’
He answered, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.’
But she came and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, help me.’
And he answered, ‘It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.’
She said, ‘Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.’
Then Jesus answered her, ‘O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.’
And her daughter was healed instantly.”

Notice: This woman didn’t come to Jesus for her own needs. She came interceding on behalf of her daughter. She didn’t give up, even when she was ignored, dismissed, and even likened to a dog. She remained steadfast.

That is the heart of a mother to carry the burden of another as if it were her own.

Her faith, humility, and intercession earned her the recognition of Jesus. He acknowledged her not just as a woman, but as a spiritual mother a woman with the maturity to stand in the gap for others.

2. Mary, the Mother of Jesus  A Mother Who Cares About Others’ Needs

John 2:1–4 (ESV)

“On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples.
When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’
And Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.'”

Mary saw the potential shame that could fall on the family hosting the wedding. Even though it wasn’t her personal issue, she brought it to Jesus, revealing her heart of compassion and concern for others.

Jesus’ response might seem cold on the surface, but His choice of addressing her as “woman” (Greek: gynai) was actually a respectful and dignified term in the culture of the time. This moment shows Mary operating in mature spiritual insight acting before anyone else understood what was truly happening.

Her initiative led to Jesus’ first public miracle.

3. Mary Magdalene  A Mother of the Gospel Message

John 20:11–17 (ESV)

“But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb…
Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?’…
Jesus said to her, ‘Mary.’
She turned and said to him in Aramaic, ‘Rabboni!’ (which means Teacher).
Jesus said to her, ‘Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”‘”

Mary Magdalene was the first to witness the resurrected Christ. She was the first to be entrusted with the gospel of the resurrection the most important message in history!

Why her?

Because she remained faithful. While others had fled, she stayed. Her deep love, loyalty, and spiritual awareness showed that she had matured in faith.

Not every woman received this kind of grace. It is reserved for those who have grown into spiritual motherhood those who can carry the gospel and nurture others into the truth.

Spiritual Mothers Are Like Sarah, Rebekah, Elizabeth, and Mary

These were women who had matured in faith, walked with God, and were used by Him to nurture nations, lead families, and guide others spiritually. They didn’t live for themselves but became vessels for others to encounter God.

So, Sister, Where Do You Stand Today?

When the Lord looks at you, how does He identify you?

  • As a girl ?
  • As a woman ?
  • Or as a mother  in the Spirit?

Before looking at the lives of great male apostles like Peter or Paul, first take time to study the lives of the holy women of God in Scripture. That alone can change your life and calling.

Long for the Honor of Being Called “Mother” by Christ

This is one of the highest honors Jesus can bestow on a woman it places her in the same category as apostolic messengers. To be entrusted with the care of others’ souls, to intercede, to disciple, to carry the gospel this is the calling of a spiritual mother.

“Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior… They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women…”           Titus 2:3–4 (ESV)

Your Calling Is Higher Than You Think

Rise up, woman of God. Step into spiritual maturity. Be a mother not just by age or biology, but by faith, intercession, and spiritual responsibility.

May the Lord bless you and recognize you as one of His faithful mothers.

Maranatha  The Lord is coming!

What is Cedar Wood?

Cedar wood refers to a type of tree that was commonly found in the region of Lebanon, located north of Israel. While cedar trees grew in various parts of the ancient world, they thrived most abundantly in Lebanon. This tree was renowned for its superior quality and durability compared to other types of timber. Cedar wood was hard and resistant to decay, making it highly valuable for many uses, especially construction.

Lebanon became wealthy through the trade of cedar wood, as many powerful nations such as Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, and Israel imported this timber for various purposes, particularly building.

King David famously used cedar from Lebanon to build his palace:

2 Samuel 5:11 (ESV)
“Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters and masons, who built David a house.”

David also mentioned his own humble dwelling made of cedar wood contrasted with the Ark of the Covenant:

2 Samuel 7:2 (ESV)
“You shall say to my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: Would you build me a house to dwell in? For I have not lived in a house since the day I brought up the people of Israel from Egypt to this day, but I have been moving about in a tent for my dwelling.’”

(Note: David’s house was of cedar, while God’s presence was still in the tent.)

Later, Solomon, David’s son, built the temple of the Lord using large amounts of cedar from Lebanon:

1 Kings 5:5-6 (ESV)
“Behold, I intend to build a house for the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spoke to my father David, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, shall build the house for my name.’ So now command that cedars of Lebanon be cut for me. My servants will be with your servants, and to you will I give whatever wages you say, for you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.”

Even after Solomon’s temple was destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar, the second temple rebuilt by Zerubbabel also used cedar wood imported from Lebanon:

Ezra 3:6-7 (ESV)
“From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, but the foundation of the house of the Lord was not yet laid. So they gave money to the masons and carpenters, and food and drink and oil to the Sidonians and Tyrians to bring cedar logs from Lebanon by sea to Joppa, according to the grant that they had from Cyrus king of Persia.”

Cedar Wood as a Symbol of Prosperity and Righteousness

In biblical symbolism, cedar wood represents wealth, strength, and endurance, much like gold. Two valuable materials frequently mentioned in the construction of the temple are cedar wood and gold — both signifying divine beauty, glory, and preciousness.

Just as cedar trees stand tall and flourish in Lebanon, the righteous are promised to prosper and endure before God:

Psalm 92:12-15 (ESV)
“The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the Lord; they flourish in the courts of our God. They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green, to declare that the Lord is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.”

This passage beautifully connects the flourishing life of the righteous to the strength and longevity of the cedar tree. The cedar’s durability and grandeur metaphorically illustrate the spiritual vitality and lasting honor given to those who walk in righteousness.

Who Are the Righteous?

Being “righteous” in Scripture does not simply mean claiming to do good works or moral deeds outside of a relationship with Christ. True righteousness is positional and relational, granted by faith in Jesus Christ. It means having been justified by grace through faith, receiving the Holy Spirit, and living in obedience empowered by God.

“But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.”
— Romans 3:21-22 (ESV)

Anyone who trusts in their own efforts apart from Christ is not truly righteous before God. Only those who have received Jesus by faith, who have been baptized into Him, and who walk by the Spirit can be counted as righteous.

Final Blessing

Just as cedar trees were highly esteemed for their strength and beauty, so too will those who are righteous in God’s eyes flourish and be honored. May God bless us all to be firmly rooted in Him, growing strong and flourishing like the majestic cedar.

What Is Shiloh?

In the Bible, Shiloh was a holy city. Before God chose Jerusalem as the city where He would put His name forever, the Israelites used to gather in Shiloh as the sacred place for worship and sacrifices.

After the Israelites entered the Promised Land, the Ark of the Covenant was placed in Shiloh. The Ark remained there for many years until the Philistines took it away because of the sins of the Israelites (1 Samuel 4:10–11).

It was also in Shiloh where the prophet Samuel was raised and lived all his life (1 Samuel 1:24).

Geographically, the city of Shiloh was located north of Bethel, near Samaria.

You can read more about Shiloh in the following passages: Joshua 18:8–10; Joshua 19:51; Joshua 21:2; Judges 18:31; Judges 21:19; 1 Samuel 1:9; Psalm 78:60.

But the question is: Is Shiloh still a holy place today?

The answer is No!

Shiloh today is no longer in Israel it is found in the Word of God.

In the truth of God’s Word and in the Holy Spirit, we worship the Father, just as the Lord Jesus said:

John 4:21–23 (ESV)

“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 Jews.
But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.’”

So, have you received the Holy Spirit? Are you living according to the Word?

May the Lord bless you.

Maranatha.

Is It True No One Has Ever Seen The Face Of God Except The Lord Jesus?

Question: Moses had direct communication with God almost face to face and even saw His glory. Yet in John 1:18, John seems to say that no one has ever seen God, except Christ alone.

Answer:

The “seeing” of God mentioned here does not mean looking upon His physical face as if to describe His appearance, what He looks like, or the shape of His features. No, that is not the meaning. Rather, it refers to knowing and understanding Him.

For example, when we say, “We have seen the hand of the Lord,” it does not mean we literally saw His physical hand in heaven, or that it came down and we observed its color and number of fingers! No. What we mean is that we have seen His mighty power at work.

In the same way, when we say we have “seen the Lord” in our lives, it does not mean He appeared before us physically, but that we have experienced His presence and recognized His reality.

Therefore, when Scripture says no one has ever seen God, it does not mean no one has ever seen His physical form it means no one has ever fully known or understood Him in His power, authority, and nature except Christ alone. Others may have had partial knowledge of Him, but not to the extent that God intended. In that sense, it is as if they had not truly seen Him. Only the Lord Jesus fully knew and revealed the Father to us.

Luke 10:22

“All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”

Do you see? Only Christ truly knew the Father as He should be known. Moses did not fully know God that is why the Law of Moses could not make anyone perfect. Christ alone came to reveal God to us as He truly is, and to show us His perfect will.

John 1:17

“For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”

For example, the disciples of Jesus saw Him every day, but they still did not truly know Him the eyes of their hearts were closed. That is why, when He asked them who He was, they could not answer correctly until Peter by revelation from the Father confessed that He was the Son of God. This fulfilled the Scripture: “No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”

Therefore, the Lord Jesus the Son of God is everything. There is no other person, no other prophet we can follow and reach heaven. The law of Moses could not bring anyone into the presence of the Father, nor could the teachings of any other prophet. Only Jesus opened the way for us to reach the Father in heaven, because He alone knows the Father. And the way to the Father is Christ Himself His life and His Word.

John 14:5–6

“Thomas said to him, ‘Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”

Do you want to go to the Father in heaven?

If yes, then know this: The Way is Jesus. No other knowledge, religion, or wisdom can take you there only Jesus! He is the One who has seen the Father, and the Father Himself confirmed Him. There is no shortcut to eternal life.

Therefore, if you have not yet received Him, receive Him today. Repent, be baptized, and let Him enter your life to guide you in the way of eternal life.

Maranatha!

WOMAN, DAUGHTER, MOTHER  Part 2

WOMAN, DAUGHTER, MOTHER  Part 2

A message for women from a biblical and spiritual perspective

This is the second part of a teaching series for women. In the first part, we explored why Jesus, when He encountered the sinful woman, referred to her simply as “woman” not based on her appearance, age, or physical traits, but based on her gender and divine identity as a woman. The term “woman” carried spiritual weight, highlighting that her encounter with Christ carried a message for all women.

If you missed that first teaching, feel free to message me and I’ll send it to you.

Today’s Focus DAUGHTER

At other times in Scripture, Jesus refers to women not just as “women,” but tenderly and intimately as His “daughters.” Remarkably, some of these women may have been older than Jesus in age, yet He still called them “daughter” revealing that His perspective was spiritual, not physical.

Let us consider one key story to understand the divine message Jesus was communicating to the world through this woman:

Matthew 9:20–22 (ESV)

20 And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment,
21 for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.”
22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well.

Why did Jesus call her “daughter”?

He could have called her “woman,” “mother,” or “lady,” yet He deliberately called her “daughter.” Why?

Because of the unique and unwavering faith she demonstrated. Despite suffering for 12 years and spending all she had on physicians with no solution (Mark 5:25–26), she did not approach Jesus with skepticism or doubt. She didn’t compare Him to the charlatans of her past. Instead, she believed completely in His power without demanding signs, words, or attention.

She said not, “I hope I’ll be healed,” or “Maybe He can help.”
She said: “I will be made well.”
a declaration of total, confident faith.

She didn’t ask for prayers or a personal visit. She believed that simply touching the edge of His garment was enough.

That kind of faith is what moved Jesus to call her “My daughter.”

It was not a term of biological relation, but of spiritual intimacy and inheritance. By calling her “daughter,” Jesus was declaring:

“You are no longer just a suffering woman you are My own child, a rightful heir of My Father’s Kingdom.”

Who Are the Daughters of Jesus Today?

Let us reflect honestly: How many women today would Jesus confidently call “My daughter”?

Jesus does not call you His daughter because of your age, beauty, social standing, or how religious you look on the outside. He sees the heart, not the flesh (1 Samuel 16:7). A true daughter of God is one who approaches Jesus with unshakable faith not as a last resort, not as an experiment, but with deep conviction that He alone is the source of life, healing, and purpose.

If you come to Jesus just to “try and see” if He’ll work for you like a spiritual gamble you have misunderstood His identity. He is not like the witch doctors or manipulators of your past.

True daughters of God know who they have believed in (2 Timothy 1:12).

They are not hopping from church to church, chasing after every prophet or trend.
They are not living double lives church on Sunday, the club on Friday.
They are rooted in Christ, consistent in character, confident in His Word, and firm in their identity.

Daughters of God Are Also Heirs

The benefit of being called a daughter of Jesus is far more than a title it is about inheritance.

Romans 8:17 (ESV): “And if children, then heirs ,heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ…”

Many assume that everyone will inherit the blessings of heaven. But Scripture is clear only those who truly belong to Him, those who have become sons and daughters through faith and obedience, will receive the Kingdom.

So, Sister… Woman… Daughter…

Jesus is not impressed by appearances, youth, or charm. He is searching for faithful daughters who will leave behind the world and cleave to Him completely.

2 Corinthians 6:17–18 (ESV):
“Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”

These are the last days. Christ is returning soon. Are you still wavering, still playing with the world? The gospel today is not a soft call it is a wake up call. Now is the time to fully surrender.

Maranatha  Come, Lord Jesus!

Don’t miss the final part of this teaching series, where we will explore why Jesus also referred to some women as “Mother.”

Until then, may the Lord bless you and awaken in you the full identity of a true daughter of the King.

Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus.
(See Revelation 22:20)

WOMAN, DAUGHTER, MOTHER  Part 1

A Teaching Series for Women
Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Welcome to the first part of a new series focused on women in the Bible.

There have been other teachings on women shared previously. If you missed any and would like to receive them, feel free to send me a message.

Today’s Focus: How Jesus Recognized Women During His Earthly Ministry

As we examine the earthly ministry of Jesus, we discover that He addressed different women in unique ways  each with divine intention and profound meaning.

Sometimes, He called a woman “Daughter.”
Other times, He called her “Mother.”
And in some instances, simply “Woman.”

These aren’t just casual or interchangeable terms. Each title carries theological and prophetic significance, directed at a specific identity or role. To understand this deeply enhances your Bible study and spiritual growth.

1) Today’s Lesson “WOMAN”  A Divine Acknowledgment of Gender

When Jesus addressed someone as “Woman,” He was not referring to her status, age, or social class  but to her God given gender.

To call someone “woman” is to acknowledge something foundational and sacred: she is a bearer of the image of God in her femininity. This is not a lesser title; it is a call to purpose and identity.

Let us consider a remarkable example from Scripture  the woman in Luke 7, known throughout her city as a sinner. Yet Jesus addressed her as “Woman,” not by her past or her reputation.

The Anointing Woman: Luke 7:37–48 (ESV)

Luke 7:37-38
“And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.”

This woman, unnamed yet unforgettable, offered an extravagant and humble act of devotion. She never spoke a word  but her actions became her prayer.

Luke 7:44-47
“Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, ‘Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.’”

Luke 7:48
“And he said to her, ‘Your sins are forgiven.’”

What Do We Learn from This “Woman”?

  • She was known for her sin, but Jesus recognized her devotion.
  • Her repentance was not in words, but in costly, sacrificial action.
  • She brought expensive ointment, poured it out for Jesus.
  • She used her hair  a symbol of glory for a woman (cf. 1 Corinthians 11:15)  to wipe Jesus’ feet.

This was no ordinary act. Most women would protect their appearance, especially their hair. But she humbled herself, breaking through shame, status, and decorum  just to honor Christ.

As a result, Jesus did not call her by her sin, nor by her past. He simply said: “Woman, your sins are forgiven.”

A Call to Every Woman

Before you study the life of apostles like Peter or Paul, pause and learn from women like this one.
She had no title. No position. No name recorded. But she received Jesus’ full attention and complete forgiveness.

Even the Pharisee (Simon), who hosted Jesus at his house, failed to show Him the honor that this “sinful woman” did. She saw His worth  and acted on it.

If you’re a woman who desires:

  • Forgiveness,
  • Favor,
  • Healing,
  • Restoration,

…then do what this woman did: serve Christ with all you are and all you have.
Don’t just pray with words  let your life itself be an offering.

And what does it mean to “anoint the body of Christ” today?
It means: Serve His Church.

  • Give.
  • Clean.
  • Volunteer.
  • Pray.
  • Encourage.
  • Build His Kingdom.

Romans 12:1 (ESV)
“Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.”

Women Were Key Supporters of Jesus’ Ministry

Luke 8:2-3 (ESV)
“…and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means.”

These women weren’t just bystanders. They were pillars of support, using their resources, time, and devotion to uphold the work of Jesus.

Your Role as a Woman is Sacred

Jesus sees the value of women  not by worldly status, but by heart posture and sacrificial love.

So rise up, Woman of God.
You are not defined by your past.
You are not limited by your gender.
You are called to serve Christ, just as faithfully and powerfully as any man or leader.

Serve the Lord with all your heart.
Let your actions be worship.
Let your love be your message.
And let heaven say of you  like it did for that woman:

“Woman, your sins are forgiven.” (Luke 7:48)

Maranatha  The Lord is Coming.
May the Lord bless you richly.

FOLLOW GOD’S WEEKLY SCHEDULE AND BE BLESSED

Greetings in the most precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ! You are welcome as we learn together the words of life.

When we read Genesis chapter one, many of us only notice the act of creation. But what we often miss are the strategies and schedule that God Himself set in place to complete His entire work of creation.

People in the world say, “A wise person learns from those who have succeeded.” Now, among us humans, no one has ever succeeded more than our God, right? When we look at the heavens and the earth, what we see is a masterpiece perfectly designed with no flaws or weaknesses. So, if we too desire to be successful, we must study God’s schedule and how He ordered His work until we see the creation that stands before us today.

In the seven days of creation, God divided His work into three main categories:

  1. Separation
  2. Creation
  3. Rest

1.SEPARATION

In the beginning, God first focused on separating.

In the first day, He separated light from darkness.

Genesis 1:3 4

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.

On the second day, He separated the waters above from the waters below by creating the sky in between.

Genesis 1:7–8

7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.

8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morningthe second day.

On the third day, He separated the waters from the dry ground, so that land appeared.

Genesis 1:9–10

9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so.

10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

On the fourth day, He separated day from night, seasons from seasons, years from years by creating the sun, moon, and stars.

Genesis 1:16–19 

16 God made two great lights the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.

17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth,

18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.

19 And there was evening, and there was morning the fourth day.

Notice that by the fourth day, God had not yet created any animals. His work so far had been separation (apart from plants which appeared on day three).

What does this teach us?

It teaches us not to rush into doing anything before separation has taken place in our own lives. We must first separate light from darkness in our spiritual “week.” Don’t begin your week without dedicating it to the Lord. Start with prayer, attend worship, and deliberately set aside what is evil. If you have wronged someone, make it right. If you are in debt, pay it back. If you have sinned, confess before the Lord. This is what God was demonstrating in the first days.

2. CREATION

After separation came creation.

Only after order was established did God create fish, birds, livestock, wild animals, and finally humankind on the sixth day.

Genesis 1:31 

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning the sixth day.

Lesson: Once we have separated ourselves from what is unclean or disorderly, then whatever we put our hands to do will also be “very good.” Like God’s creation, our works will be free from flaws and weaknesses.

3. REST

Finally, after completing His work in six days, God rested on the seventh.

Genesis 2:2

By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.

This teaches us that we are not to act as though we are busier than God. If He rested, who are we not to rest? If you work nonstop day and night, week after week, year after year without ever pausing, then whatever you are doing will lose its quality. But when you align your week to God’s schedule, you will surely see positive results whether you are a servant of God, a student, a worker, or a leader.

However, if worship is not important to you, if you never separate yourself from sin, harmful friends, or ungodly conversations; if you never spend time praying, studying God’s Word, or correcting your ways, but only think about money then your week will be wasted. You will be creating in darkness, and your efforts will amount to nothing.

When we speak of following God’s weekly schedule, we don’t mean you must literally do the same thing on day one, two, three, or four. Rather, within the span of your week, make sure each principle is present: separate yourself from sin, build what is good, and set aside time to rest.

Even if you cannot take 24 consecutive hours of rest, ensure you dedicate at least one full day’s worth of time across the week to recharge, as God did.

May the Lord bless you.

Who Were the Samaritans?

An Exploration of Their Origins, Beliefs, and Jesus’ Redemptive Message

After the Israelites were taken into exile by the Assyrian Empire (around 722 BC), the king of Assyria repopulated the land with people from other nations—such as Babylon, Kuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim. This was a common Assyrian practice to break national identities and religious loyalties. These people settled in Samaria, which had been the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel.

2 Kings 17:24 (NIV)
“The king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Kuthah, Avva, Hamath and Sepharvaim and settled them in the towns of Samaria to replace the Israelites. They took over Samaria and lived in its towns.”

These settlers were pagans who brought their own gods and religious practices. They did not know the God of Israel, Yahweh, nor how to worship Him. As a result, Scripture says that God allowed lions to attack them—a sign of divine judgment and warning.

2 Kings 17:25 (NIV)
“When they first lived there, they did not worship the Lord; so he sent lions among them and they killed some of the people.”

Recognizing something was wrong, the king of Assyria ordered that a Jewish priest be sent back to the land to teach these people how to worship the God of Israel.

2 Kings 17:27–28 (NIV)
“Then the king of Assyria gave this order: ‘Have one of the priests you took captive from Samaria go back to live there and teach the people what the god of the land requires.’ So one of the priests who had been exiled from Samaria came to live in Bethel and taught them how to worship the Lord.”

However, this resulted in a syncretistic religion. The people continued worshiping their native gods while also trying to incorporate worship of Yahweh. This is evident in the biblical critique:

2 Kings 17:33 (NIV)
“They worshiped the Lord, but they also served their own gods in accordance with the customs of the nations from which they had been brought.”

Theological Reflection:

This religious compromise made the Samaritans deeply suspect in the eyes of the Jews. While they lived in the land and followed some elements of the Law (especially the Pentateuch—the first five books of Moses), they rejected the rest of the Hebrew Scriptures, including the prophets. As a result, they were viewed as heretical and unclean by orthodox Jews.

This historical and theological divide persisted for centuries. By the time of Jesus, Jews still avoided any close contact with Samaritans.

John 4:9 (NIV)
“The Samaritan woman said to him, ‘You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?’ (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)”

Jesus Breaks the Barrier:

Jesus’ interaction with the Samaritan woman in John 4 is revolutionary. He not only speaks to her, a Samaritan and a woman (both cultural taboos), but also reveals profound theological truth: that worship of God is no longer tied to physical locations like Mount Gerizim (Samaritan holy site) or Jerusalem, but is spiritual and universal.

John 4:21–23 (NIV)
“Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
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.”

This message underlines the gospel truth: salvation is no longer defined by ethnicity, temple, or tradition, but by faith in Jesus Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit and grounded in truth.

A Call to Worship in Spirit and Truth:

True worship, as Jesus teaches, must be in Spirit (empowered by the Holy Spirit) and in Truth (according to the Word of God). It is not about rituals or geography, but relationship.

John 14:6 (NIV)
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”

Invitation:

Are you worshiping God in Spirit and in Truth today?

If not, you can make that decision now. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Be baptized by immersion in His name, as practiced by the early Church, for the forgiveness of sins.

Acts 2:38 (NIV)
“Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’”

Maranatha—The Lord is coming!
Let this truth transform your life—and share it with others.

TAKE HEART

Jesus turned and saw her, and said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And from that hour, the woman was healed.
— Matthew 9:20-22 (ESV)

Reflect for a moment on the woman who had been suffering from bleeding for twelve years. She dared to touch the fringe of Jesus’ garment, believing that this simple act of faith would heal her. Imagine what must have been going through her mind—and what others thought as they followed Jesus. The answer is yes, she discovered something profoundly significant.

Normally, for a woman in her condition, approaching Jesus publicly was unthinkable—her illness made her ceremonially unclean (see Leviticus 15:25-27). To reach out and touch even the hem of His garment was bold to the point of recklessness. That’s why she did it secretly, without telling anyone, even when Jesus asked, “Who touched me?” she feared to admit it, because she knew the possible consequences: rejection or rebuke.

But Jesus’ response was remarkably different. Instead of condemning or driving her away, He said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” Notice the tender affirmation—He honors even the faintest thoughts and hopes that are sincerely directed toward Him. This reveals a deep truth: faith, even small and vulnerable, is powerful and precious to Christ.

Today, many people wrestle with doubts and discouragement, often silenced by their own conscience or by the opinions of others. Good ideas for serving God can wither inside because people think they must be clergy or have special titles to make a difference. But the truth is, God values every faithful thought and effort, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant.

You may not be a pastor, prophet, evangelist, or teacher—but that does not diminish the importance of what you can do for God. If you have a vision to share God’s Word, write encouraging messages, or even display Scripture in your community, don’t lose heart. The same God who healed the bleeding woman values your willingness to serve with a sincere heart.

Perhaps you feel called to create a garden for your church, to start a recording studio for testimonies, or to give generously of your resources for the sake of the gospel. Do it—regardless of how others may respond. Jesus notices and blesses those acts of faith and love.

Remember, “At the hem of Jesus’ garment is healing and ministry.” Don’t ignore those “small” ideas or gentle promptings that come to your mind for His sake. Carry them out with a pure heart, and God will delight in your service.

As the book of Revelation reminds us:

Revelation 22:12 (ESV):
“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done.”

So, take heart. Your faith matters. Your service matters. God sees, rewards, and honors every step you take toward Him.

Shalom.
