Text: John 2:6-8
Memory verse:
âFor we walk by faith, not by sight.â ââII Corinthians⏠â5âŹ:â7
⏠â
I am amazed by the faith of the servants at the marriage in Cana of Galilee. The problem on ground was the sudden lack of wine yet Jesus told them to fill the pots with water! ââFill the waterpots with water.â AND THEY FILLED THEM UP TO THE BRIM.ââ John⏠â2âŹ:â7. Faith doesnât usually make sense. Like someone said, âWhere reason canât wade, faith swims acrossâ. Now, the second instruction even seems more âunreasonableâ. âAnd He said to them, âDraw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.â AND THEY TOOK IT.â John⏠â2âŹ:â8âŹ. Notice the emphasis that I placed on their responses to the two commands of faith. The servants obeyed the instructions without questioning. This one appears as the most âfoolishâ thing to do. Now, they were to draw some out and serve the master of the feast. They didnât try to taste the water before serving nor did they consider the implications if the guests found that it wasnât wine! Their motto was âthe command of faith must be obeyedâ.
Friends, there is a command of faith that you must obey to have your miracle. Jesus told the man with a withered hand to stretch it forth; the disciples to give something; Peter to come out of the boat to Him; Peter to launch out into the deep (Matt 12:13, 14:29; Luke 5:4; Mark 6:37). You need to ask yourself, âWhat is the command of faith that I need to obey?â Then, move away from the sense knowledge to act upon Godâs word and you will see that mountain before you move in Jesus name. Hallelujah!
Prayer points
1. Father, as I pray and fast, I also receive grace to obey the commands of faith in Jesus name.
2. I move away from sense knowledge and doubt to act on Godâs word in Jesus name.
