I want to encourage your heart in the
decision to believe God and act on His word in complete obedience and not be
like the rest. See the result: This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at
Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him Jn 2:11(ESV). This was a first time event, which means it
was a new thing. A new thing was done when the disciples obeyed and made the
people sit in groups of about 50s on the grass and handed over the 5 loaves of
barley bread and 2 fishes to Jesus (Mk6:39-42). Five thousand plus were fed! Have you ever
claimed God’s promise to do a new thing in your life or community? Following
this resulted in a new thing in Cana, yea in Israel. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring
forth; shall ye not know it? Is
43:19(KJV). God is willing to begin a new thing in your
life, in your community because of your insistence on doing the right thing
even when you will be embarrassed.
Have you often prayed, “O Lord, send down Your glory upon me”? This will bring that down. This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at
Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory… Because of your complete
obedience the glory of Jesus will manifest. Whenever God is fully obeyed, He is
glorified. His glory manifests when His assignments are completed. I have brought glory to you here on earth
by doing everything you gave me to do Jn 17:4(CEV) holds true for Jesus and for all who do everything God says in any
matter. In the time of Moses when he fully obeyed God in building the
tabernacle according to instruction the glory of God came down. So Moses finished the work. Then a cloud covered
the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle Ex 40:33, 34(KJV). Do you want to see His glory upon your life,
family and ministry? Glory comes at the fulfillment of obedience. Obey fully in
faith.
And his disciples believed in him Jn 2:11(ESV). Because of you many will believe in Jesus. We may not realize it but
when people see what God has done in our lives they turn to Him. And Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ
heals you; rise and make your bed." And immediately he rose. And all the
residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord Act 9:34-35(ESV). Just hearing about it is very powerful to
turn people to Jesus. Everyone in Joppa heard what had happened, and many
of them put their faith in the Lord Act 9:42(CEV)
Join me in this prayer unto God: “I do not know what to do in my circumstance
o Lord but I offer myself now as a servant unto you. Speak now for your servant
hears Lord. I receive with your instructions full power in the inner man to
obey joyfully and fully. Let glory come to you in all these, and cause many to
believe in you as a result. Thank you Father in the precious name of Jesus I
pray.”
