THE SIX HOUR TRANSFORMATION  

"Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.  There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,"- John  4:5 -7 & 28

Few days ago while praying and mediating on God's word, the Holy Spirit flashed a phrase into my heart. The phrase is - "It's about the sixth hour". The sixth hour can be described as the hour of total transformation. The Bible is full of many examples of people whose lives were miraculously transformed by God, but the story of the Samaritan woman in John 4 was quite unique.

In John 4, Jesus transformed the destiny of a Samaritan woman at the sixth hour. Before that sixth hour encounter at the well, the story of that Samarian woman was not a pleasant one at all. Her destiny was decorated with stickers/logos of loneliness, failures,  stagnation, disappointment and rejection. But when she entered fully into her sixth hour of transformation, she became a living testimony herself. Within a twinkle of an eye,  she moved from the "Waiting List of Life" (WLL) into the "Blessed List of Life" (BLL). What a great transformation? What a sudden change of story? .

But how did it all happen? One day, it was few minutes to the sixth hour when the woman left her home alone to fetch water on a sunny day from Jacob's well. Ideally, women traveled together to the well in the cool of the day to escape the heat of the sun. But this woman walked by herself alone during the hottest time of the day. Instead of avoiding the scorching sun, she went to the well at noon to avoid the scorching pain of others' rejection and judgment. She was practically running from those who knew of her failures, shame and imperfections. As far as this woman was concerned,  being alone was even better and easier than hearing the condemning words and seeing the scornful looks of others. But she did not know that that same hour/day/month will be her time of total transformation. She got to the well frustrated and confused but left with great joy bubbling within her soul. After that sixth hour encounter with the living water, Heaven terminated her loneliness and her entire life changed completely. Jesus spoke words of assurance and acceptance into the broken, insecure, empty places of her heart.

Beloved, I have a good news for you. It's about the sixth hour of year 2017 and the God of All Flesh is ready to give you your sixth hour testimony of transformation. The same power that changed the destiny of that Samaritan woman will invade your destiny in the month of June and give you your long awaited, complete and total transformation in Jesus name. How will that Samaritan woman explain her transformation? Will the people believe her story? Yes, am sure her story will be too difficult to believe. Therefore, In the name that is above every other names, before the sixth hour of this year is over, my God will give you the kind of testimony that will be too difficult to believe in Jesus name. How I wish your faith can handle this? How I wish you can trust God for your own sixth hour testimony this month? Friends, are you ready for a change of story?  If you are ready, then please surrender your life to Jesus and God will use your life to showcase his wonders to the whole world.

Happy new month and God bless you In Jesus name.

Maranatha!
