Obedience to divine instruction is the catalyst that hasten the process of our faith. Faith goes through some process before manifestation; you need to react positively to the instruction of God. It starts with hearing, that is, receiving the instruction and believing it and then acting on the instruction that you believe (John 1:12). Faith is acting on the instruction that you receive and believe. It requires personal responsibilities. The process requires your personal participation, you need to cooperate with God to bring your desire to pass. Your change of story will not happen until you cooperate with God by obeying every instruction from him. if you don't act on the instruction they would have no reaction.
John 2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto 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;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
For example, The wedding in Canaan where Jesus Christ and his disciples were among the guests; the organiser was facing an embarrassing situation of lack, the wine finished in the peak of the celebration. And the mother of Jesus said to the servants, whatever he asks you to do, do it. That was an expo for their change of story, obedience to that information brought about the beginning of their change of story. Many times God has given a hint on what we need to do for our situation to change but many have ignored it and pay dearly for it. Jesus says to them bring the waterpots, fill them with water to the brim. So, there was a specific instruction, the waterpots were to be filled to the brim and not half way. When they were done obeying that particular instruction another one came, that they should take out of the water and give to the governor of the occasion. Note that the servants who receive the instruction did not try to stop and taste the water to see if it has changed to wine, they waited for further instruction; they did not interrupt the faith process. Your obedience is the catalyst that will lead to your change of story. God is the only one that knows what to do concerning your situation, that is why you need Him to guide you through the process step by step. If the servants filled the waterpots half way it would not amount to anything because in the faith equation, half obedient is equal to zero. When God is leading you through the process of faith your spiritual antenna has to be at alert to capture the moment because; the instruction works in many ways. Firstly, when, that is the timing of the instruction; secondly, the how, that is the way to carry out the instruction and thirdly, where, that is the place and who, the people. Friends, your water will not change to wine until your obedience is complete. What you need for your change of story is within you but you need God to reveal it to you. Those men did not go out to get water from outside, the pots and the water were already there, all they needed was just instruction from God. The bible says that God will not avenge all disobedience until your obedience is complete (2 Corinthians 10:6). That means, those things that are embarrassing you will not give way until your obedience to God's instruction is fulfilled. I pray for someone reading this message right now, grace to obey divine instruction, receive it, in the name of Jesus. I command every spirit of disobedience contending with your destiny to give way, in the mighty name of Jesus. It is finally your turn to testify to the goodness of God, rejoice and be glad. God does not lead a stranger, you need to be His son or daughter; He said His sheep knows him and hears his voice (John 10:4-5). John 1:12 (But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name): in this kingdom, your obedient journey begins by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour. The good news is that Jesus Christ is still here, and he is still turning peoples´ situation around and it is your turn; please hurry up and pray this salvation prayer below and be blessed, 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 saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
NENE ISAH,
