DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

Text: John 2:3 

And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine.".

Our Lord *Jesus Christ attended all kinds of events except Funeral service.* He does not celebrate the dead in anyway. If he should attend any funeral service, He would have disappointed many mourners who use funeral ceremony as a means of making money and for display of self-indulgence lifestyle.

Thank God the scripture clearly recorded Jesus' utmost interest in marriage. He honoured an invitation for wedding in Cana Galilee. alongside with his disciples.

Along the line, the wine got finished. This singular incident could halt the merriment of the occasion, and it would certainly bring shame to the groom and by extension to the bride and their families.

Perhaps, while the master of ceremony (MC) was trying to manage the situation, Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ got wind of the information that the wine has finished!

She quickly met with Jesus secretly and told him about the situation that was about to stop the joy of the wedding ceremony and bring shame to the groom, and the bride.

According to the scripture, Jesus has not performed any miracle before that time, at least not in the public. John 2:11 says, "This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him."  

His mother went to
Jesus and told him to do something about the situation. 
Though, it appeared she didn't get a straight positive  response from Jesus, she however went to His disciples to alert them. She said to them- whatever he may say to you- do!

 It only takes an unwavering Faith in Jesus Christ for Mary to have gone to his disciples to get them ready for action.

All that Mary was doing at this point in time is what we can refer to as "Intercession". She was interceding and advocating for the couples-to-be and their families in order to save them from public shame.

Do you have anyone in your life like Mary? Do you have anyone watching your back? Do you have anyone keeping you in their minds and hearts, keeping eyes on you to see that things are going on well around you? 

It is extremely important for you to be very sure of the kind of people you invite into your life, the kind of people you relate and associate with. The bride and the groom unknowingly got themselves delivered from shame by simply inviting Jesus Christ and  Mary to their wedding.

Mary was interceding for the bride and the groom so that they will not be ashamed. She ensured that their song of joy never stopped playing. She did guarantee that the smiles on the faces of the celebrants never stopped. Mary did not allow the groom to be running helter skelter looking for how to get another tank of wine 

Mary stepped into their situation and resolved their issues without the bride and groom knowing.

May the Lord raise men for you. Men who are genuinely faithful. 

I have a spiritual Father who has been praying for me for over twenty years on a consistent basis. Anytime he calls me, he'll say, "I am  praying for you"  One day I visited him in his house in the Northern part of Nigeria. He reached out to a small old jotter and showed me the particular page where he has written my name for prayer on a particular day of the week. I sometimes think such prayers have gotten me delivered from many dangers and shame.

Pastors and church leaders should be like Mary. It is not enough to preach and teach your people. You must always pray for them in your closet. You must move things in the realm of the spirit on their behalf.

May the Lord raise more  people like Mary in our churches in Jesus name.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
