JOHN CH.2 VS 1-11
WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THE FIRST MIRACLE
OF JESUS. LETS LOOK AT 4 PRINCIPLES THAT
WE CAN APPLY TO OUR CHRISTIAN LIFE.
#1 BEFORE THE MIRACLE COMES THE COMMAND.
VS 7 JESUS SAITH UNTO THEM,FILL THE WATERPOTS
WITH WATER.AS WE STUDY THE MIRACLES OF JESUS WE FIND THAT HIS BLESSINGS WERE USUALLY PROCEEDED BY A
COMMAND (EXAMPLES JOHN 4:50 JOHN 5:8
JOHN 9:7 AND MANY OTHERS.
A) DO YOU WANT YOUR CHURCH TO GROW?
LISTEN FOR THE COMMAND,JOHN 4:35 DON’T PROCRASTINATE.
LIFT UP YOUR EYES AND LOOK,LIFT UP YOUR HEARTS AND
PRAY,LUKE 10:2. LIFT UP YOUR HANDS AND GIVE,MAL.3:10
LIFT UP YOUR FEET AND GO, MATTHEW 28:18-20.
#2 THE COMMANDS ARE NOT TO BE QUESTIONED,JUST OBEYED.
YOU NOTICE THE SERVANTS NEVER QUESTIONED JESUS
THEY JUST TOOK MARYS ADVICE, JOHN 2:5 WHATSOEVER
HE SAITH UNTO YOU,DO IT!
#3 HIS COMMANDS SHOULD BE FULFILLED TO 110%
JOHN 2:7 THEY FILLED THEM TO THE BRIM.
ANYTHING WORTH DOING FOR JESUS IS WORTH
GIVING OUR ALL. THATS WHAT HE GAVE FOR US!
#4 TRUST GOD FOR THE MIRACLE. JOHN 2:8-9
PREACHERS WE CANNOT SAVE ANYONE,WE CANNOT
CONVICT ANYONE,WE CANNOT MAKE ANYONE OBEY GOD.
WHAT WE CAN DO IS FILL OURSELVES(HIS VESSELS)
WITH THE WATER OF HIS WORD,WE CAN PRAY UNTIL
WE ARE FILLED TO THE BRIM, THEN WE BARE IT OUT
AND TRUST JESUS TO TURN THE WATER INTO WINE.
THIS APPLIES TO PREACHERS,TEACHERS.WORSHIP
LEADERS AND ANYONE IN SERVICE TO THE KING.DO
WHAT YOU CAN AND TRUST GOD TO DO WHAT YOU CAN’T.
AMEN
