Memorise:
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I
will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light
before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and
not forsake them.
Read: John 2:1-11
1 And the third day
there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was
called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they
wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto
her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
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,
10 And saith unto
him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have
well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until
now.
11 This beginning of
miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his
disciples believed on him.
Message
Jesus Christ declared to His disciples that He is the Way,
the Truth and the Life (John 14:6). As the Way, He is the exit from that very
evil location you may find yourself. He is the Way out of sickness and also the
Way out of death. If you are facing any situation pertaining to death, He is
the Way out. In Acts 9:36-42, Dorcas died and the widows mourned her because of
her good works which had been a blessing to them. She was the visible hand of
God that the widows could relate with. So when Peter arrived, they began to
make a case for her to live. Do you know that when some believers die, almost
everyone who knew them would prefer that they were left dead, because they made
no meaningful impact? If you were called home to be with the Lord today, how
many people would want you to be restored to life? Can your works speak for you
like those of Dorcas? When Peter heard of her works, he commanded Dorcas to
come back to life in the Name of Jesus. She lived to continue her ministry to
the widows. You too can command the dead to rise in the Name of Jesus and life
shall be restored back to them, if only you have faith in Jesus and you are a
part of Him.
Moreover, Jesus is the Way out of embarrassment. In today's
Bible reading, while a wedding celebration was going on in Cana of Galilee, the
wine finished. How embarrassing! It was possible the guests they had were far
more than what they had prepared for. Some of their guests who had not been
served were seated and expecting to be served. If they were to arrange for more
wine, it would have cost them a lot in time, money and logistics. While they bothered
about what to do and confusion was beginning to set in, Mary got wind of what
was going on and informed Jesus about it. Pre-empting Him, she instructed the
servants at that feast to wait on the Lord. At the nick of time, the Lord
turned the water available into the wine they lacked. Everyone who took of that
wine confessed that they had never taken a better wine in all their lives. The
Lord not only saved the day, but also turned an embarrassing situation into a
most special moment for all and sundry. Imagine the joy of the couple and that
of their families! Are you facing any form of embarrassment? Take it to the
Lord in prayer and have faith in His ability to intervene, and He will make a
way for you.
Action Point:
Intercede for every believer facing an embarrassing
situation around you, that they will receive God's way out now.
