WOMEN OF FAITH: (SPREADING THE GOOD NEWS) MARY MAGDALENE PART 1


John 20:17(Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. 18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that he had spoken these things unto her. 21 Then said Jesus to them again, peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you).

As a redeemed child of God, our primary assignment here on earth is to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. Mary was the first person to see Jesus Christ after his resurrection and she took the news to the rest of the disciples. Proverbs 25:25(As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country). There are souls waiting to hear the good news from you, just like the disciples of Jesus Christ waited for the good news from Mary. Peter rushed to the same spot when he heard the good news of the resurrection of Christ (Luke 24:12). Jesus Christ instructed us to take the good news to the whole world. Mark 16:15(And he said unto them Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature). It was the first assignment and when we do it genuinely every other thing that men look for shall be added unto us (Matthew 6:33).  The people of the city in Samaria rushed to the same spot to find Jesus when they heard the testimony of the Samaritan woman (John 4:29,39-40). I have been using my testimonies to draw others to where I found Jesus. Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God and he has given us the same assignment. The ministry of reconciliation was given to every believer because Jesus Christ said in John 10:16(And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd). Your testimony is your instrument of evangelism; it is your proof that you have indeed encountered Jesus, not the number of scripture that you can quote. God has given women a special gift in the area of spreading news; let us use it to do the work of God. Examples: the Samaritan woman, Mary Magdalene, The woman with the issue of blood who touches Jesus Christ garment received her healing and then spread the news to others and they did the same and got the same result. Not like the women that put David in trouble with King Saul (1 Samuel 8:7-9). The rate in which the people of the city of Samaria rushed to find Jesus should give us an idea how thirsty people are for good news. Jesus said the harvests are ready and they that reaped received their wages (John 4:35-36). Friends, join the laborer today and you shall be rewarded in Jesus name. We are created to enjoy close relationships with God but Adam and Eve lost it when they allowed Satan to deceive them. Satan stole their inheritance and that has affected us. Jesus Christ came to restore what we have lost but except we accept him as our Lord and savior we cannot be restored to our original state. (John 1:12)(Revelation 5:12). No fish can survive outside water the same way we can do nothing without God.  The bible said that as cold waters to a thirst soul, so is good news from a far country. That’s how it feels when you find a solution to your problem. Get connected today and be saved in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
