DO HIS INSTRUCTION

WEDNESDAY, 13th MAY 2026*

TEXT: John 2:5 

 His mother saith unto the servants, "Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

Mary, the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, went to Him during the wedding ceremony in Cana of Galilee for a request. She told Jesus that the wine had been exhausted. Mary knew the implication of the wine finishing during a wedding, so she decided to save the day. 

It appears Jesus did not give Mary a positive response. He said to her, "Woman, what have I to do with thee? My time is not yet come."

This was more like receiving a "NO" in prayer, but if you look at Jesus' response critically, you will realize it is rather a timing matter. There is God's timing. Don’t forget this. 

Mary left Jesus and went straight to the servants, telling them to wait on Jesus for an instruction. She said to them, "Whatsoever He says to you, DO IT!"

Many of the prayer points we often pray to God are born out of disobedience. I mean, they are a result of the fact that we missed out on God’s instruction at some point.

Obeying God is better than sacrifice. Some of our prayers are simply sacrifices. If only we had obeyed, or if we could obey God, there wouldn’t be a need for many of the sacrifices we are offering through prayers. (1 Samuel 15:22).

If you carefully analyze the prayers being prayed in many churches today, you will realize that most of the prayer points are centered on something that we could simply get done through walking in obedience. 

For instance, Jesus says, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you." The simple instruction for you is to seek God's kingdom so that all other things can be added, but you have decided to be praying for all other things. This is a misplacement of priority.

It is high time you began to pray thus: "God, help me to do Your will. God, help and give me strength to be able to carry out Your instructions." You need to start praying for grace and enablement to be able to do God’s command.

Apostle Paul prayed for the church in Ephesus thus: _"That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him..."_ (Ephesians 1:17).

May you begin to seek out God's instruction and the grace to do and walk in them.

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...
