John 2:1(And the third day there was a
marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 And
Jesus was called, and his disciples to the marriage. 3 And when they
wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith to him, they have no wine. 5 His mother
saith unto the servants, whatsoever he saith unto you , do it. 6 And there were
set there six water pots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the
Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7 Jesus saith unto them, fill the
water pots with water. And fill them to the brim. 8 And he saith unto them,
Draw out now, and give the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9 When the
ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence
it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew).
There is no situation too difficult for
God to change because with him all things are possible. In God’s calendar there
is no hopeless situation; the first miracle Jesus Christ did was to change a
hopeless and embarrassing situation into a testimony. The later wine was
greater than the former; that’s exactly what he wants to do for you if you will
allow him. The process of turning water into wine requires chemical reaction
and the catalyst for that reaction that took place at the wedding in Canaan was
obedient to divine instruction. “Until our obedience is complete our miracle is
not in view” Bishop David Oyedepo. For every change of story in any man’s life
there is something that triggers it and one of those triggers is obedience. The
mother of Jesus told the servants that whatsoever Jesus asked them to do they
should do it. There are ways to do things; we may be doing the right thing in
the wrong way. In this kingdom our change of story answers to our complete
obedient to divine instruction. Jesus would have got the water himself but he
asked the servant at the wedding to do it and he gave them clear and detailed
instructions on how they should do it. He asked them to fill the water pot to
the brim which means if they disobey his instruction or even fill the pots half
way there will be no miracle or if they refuse to draw from the pot and give it
to the master of the wedding. It was step by step instruction; that’s how God
leads his children, no shortcut. They neither doubt him nor analyze his
instruction; most of the time it is too much analysis of divine instruction
that robs us of our miracle. God is not responsible for our total change of
story; we have a part to play until our own part is fulfilled; our miracle will
not manifest. It is your responsibility to obey and carry out the instruction
that will lead to your change of story. Peter was a professional fisherman but
he was frustrated because he toiled all the night and could not catch a fish
but his encounter with Jesus set him free from frustration and failure. Jesus
Christ did not help him to catch the fish; it was a pure divine instruction; he
said let down your nets for a catch; even though he argued, he eventually
obeyed and still laid down one instead of nets (Luke 5:4-7).
Every one of my converts that obeyed this simple analysis of turning water into
wine has had their testimony. I do tell them that when they come to church they
should follow the instruction; give your life to Christ; go through foundation
class and the water baptism and watch God changing your story. Those who obey
this simple instruction are no longer where they used to be; the scripture
cannot be broken. Jesus is still the same yesterday, today and forever. I know
you want a change of story no matter the level you are now; it is in the nature
of man to grow. I don’t know which area of your life you want God to intervene
and change your situation, I have good news for you; as you chose to do what he
has asked you to do today your miracle will manifest in Jesus name. Every
secret tear will be wiped away today in Jesus' name. There is no substitute for
obedience. Abraham is a typical example of what obedience can do in the life of
anyone; as you follow his footstep today you will never remain the same
way. You can only obey those who you trust and have a relationship with. Jesus
Christ was invited to that wedding and he saved them from an embarrassing
situation and the scripture said ‘this beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana
of Galilee’ John 2:11a. He is waiting for you to invite Him into
your life in case He is not there yet; do it by praying this salvation prayer
below and today will be the beginning of His miracle in your life 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.
