2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.

6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

7 The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

8 The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.

1 CORINTHIANS 9:16-18 (The Compulsion of the Gospel)

Key Themes: Divine Compulsion, Stewardship, Preaching the Gospel, Sacrificial Service, Eternal Reward.

JOHN 4:25-29 (The Samaritan Woman’s Witness)

Key Themes: Divine Revelation, Personal Evangelism, Freedom from the Past, Urgent Witness, Leading Others to Christ.

Prayer Points

Use these points to guide your conversation with God.

1. Prayer for a Sense of Divine Compulsion:

• “Heavenly Father, ignite in me the same fire that burned in Paul. Let me feel a holy compulsion to share the Gospel. Where I have been silent or timid, fill me with a sense of urgent stewardship over the message of salvation You have entrusted to me.”

2. Prayer for a Selfless Heart in Service:

• “Lord, deliver me from serving for earthly rewards or applause. As Paul preached freely, help me to serve with a pure heart, finding my ultimate reward not in payment but in the joy of obeying You and seeing lives transformed.”

3. Prayer for a Clear Revelation of Christ:

• “Just as You revealed Yourself to the Samaritan woman as the Messiah, reveal Yourself to me afresh today. Let me know Jesus more deeply, so that my testimony is not based on hearsay, but on a powerful, personal encounter with the Living Christ.”

4. Prayer to Leave Our “Water Jar” Behind:

• “Father, I willingly lay down at the cross the ‘water jar’ of my past—my shame, my failures, my insecurities, and my distractions. Like the woman at the well, I run forward unburdened, empowered to share the good news with others.”

5. Prayer for Courage to Witness to Our “Town”:

• “Lord, give me the courage of the Samaritan woman to go immediately into my own ‘town’—my workplace, my family, my social circles—and declare, ‘Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did.’ Use my story, my testimony, to draw others to You.”

6. Prayer for Open Doors and Receptive Hearts:

• “I pray for divine appointments today. Lead me to those whose hearts You have prepared, just as You prepared the people of Sychar. Give me the right words to speak, and open their hearts to receive the message of Christ.”
