TODAY'S LESSON: *"whatsoever He Says To You, Do It" !*
TEXT: *John 2:1-11*
"And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto them, they have no wine...His mother saith unto the servants, whatsoever He saith unto you, do it."
Unarguably, obedience to God's instructions is a platform for divine lifting. Adherence to divine instructions is a gateway to advancement in life. If you be willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land.
The very first miracle of Christ was triggered by obedience to a simple "foolish" instruction. Someone will ask, 'what has water gotten to do with wine."?
They said they don't have wine again and He is instructing the servants to fill water pots with water.
The problem is, we often want figure out God. We want to reason out with our small head and limited human capacity the instructions of God before we obey.
Bishop Oyedepo said, "If the Word can't fool you, it can't feed you."
He said to Abraham offer your son, without consultation and questions Abraham moved to obey him.
Note, it was the servants who were serving at the marriage feast that received the instructions. It was the servants that filled the water pots, it was the servants drew out wine and gave to the governor of the feast. Jesus didn't participate in that process, He only gave instructions.
This implies that the miracle of turning water into wine took place in the hands of the servants, the same way five loaves of bread and two fishes multiplied in the hands of the disciples.
Hear this, God speaks to only His servants, not people on positions. Miracles are performed through servants not through title holders.
God uses those who are ready to serve.
However, servants must receive instructions and obey instructions. God depends on the obedience of His servants to turn our bitter world into a sweet world.
Are you in bitterness of marriage or sickness, relationship or business? First, you must surrender to serve God.
Second, you must receive and obey divine instructions. God relies on you to make a change. God relies on you to deliver the world.
Job 36:11 confirms, "If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasure."
*Prayer Focus:* Oh! God my Father, in the name of Jesus, bestow upon me the spirit of obedience and service. I refuse to disappoint your dependency upon me in Jesus name.
