BE EMPTY


Text : John 2:6-7

 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

The six water pots commanded Jesus's attention basically because ;
They were empty (available to be used)

The water pot was not fit to be used because  it was normally used to wash leg (John 2:6), yet Jesus used it to perform the miracle because it was empty. 
Jesus  only perform wonder with empty vessels.He may not be able to do anything special with you if you are full(of yourself).

 Jesus didn't call you because you were qualified, He qualified you so you could be useful because you are available. Are you really available for Him?

The same water pot people used to wash legs now became useful to serve wine even for governor because it was available and empty. 

 There is no one Jesus cannot use . All He needs is your availability. Let the dirty water leave the pot of your life and be empty for His use. 

The pot was serving purpose before but not the ultimate purpose of God. But when it became empty  and available to Jesus. It discovered the  ultimate purpose of God . It serves sweet wine to all and sundry, the couole and governor  of the feast as well. John 2:8.

 _And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it._   

When you Present your desire and ambition before God and  lay all at His feet,  He will use you to perform  miracle and wonders.

Jesus will be attracted to you when you are empty in his presence. He will fill you and make you a blessing 


 Prayer focus: 
 I empty my life to you  Lord Jesus. Fill it and use it for your glory in Jesus name


Bible Reading : 2 Kings  4:1-7.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
