John 2:5 ‘His mother saith unto the servants, whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.’

Read John 2:1-11 (KJV):

‘Many people do not know the secret of miraculous living. They think it has to do with strange things or occultism. Little did they know that a life of obedience enhances supernatural intervention that results in supernatural events. It is unfortunate that even some children of God are missing out this truth as well. In our bible reading of today, we can see the confirmation of the title of today’s there was a marriage ceremony in Cana of Galilee and our Lord Jesus, His family and disciples were present.

There came a need that only God could meet. The mother of Jesus Christ knew that the representative of God was on ground to what was humanly impossible. So, She approached the miracle worker but not without a seemingly negative reaction. It is interesting to note that despite our Lord’s reaction, His mother gave a profound instruction to the waiters. ‘’…Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.’’ (John 2:25). Afterwards, Jesus Christ instructed his servants to fill the empty water pots with water and asked them to go ahead and serve it as wine. I decree to someone using this devotional; whatever potential shame the enemies are planning concerning you, God will intervene with a miracle that will nullify it.

There are lessons we must quickly learn from this story; God always involves man in the process of miracle-working events. When man cooperates with God through obedience, he experiences the miraculous. Naaman said that his expectation was that the man of God will come out and touch him. Howbeit, he was disappointed; he was to be part of the process. He had to go and deep himself in the river Jordan before he could experience the miracle he sought for. He almost missed it when he refused to comply with the instruction of the prophet of God.

Another lesson we must learn from this story is that whenever you are trusting God for a miracle, you must not only be ready to receive instruction from God, you must also be attentive to the details of the instruction. You must get the message right, you must then go ahead and carry out the instruction. The servants indeed fetched the water; they also served it as wine under the instruction of our Lord. One may think it is simple to do what the servants did. They took the risk of being accused of playing on the intelligence of people that came to the ceremony. Beloved, perfect obedience will change your story, just be willing to do whatever God asks you to do.

Prayer point: Father, give me the spirit that trembles at your word and does whatever you want me to do.
