New Beginnings

Day 262

Reading: John 1:1 - John 3:36

God has a great plan for you and me. Your circumstances may not appear so, however, let me assure you that God is still on the throne and has not given up. The days we are living in are dark days with sin abounding more than ever. We find today many are challenging the accepted biblical views that have characterised behaviour for generations. As I write this blog, on the news today I heard of a gentleman whose gone to court to request that his date of birth be changed by 20 years.  This world is changing!

The Book of John begins in a manner very similar to Genesis. John declares that the Word was in the beginning and makes it clear that there can be no beginning without the Word of God. Any beginning you desire must begin with the Word. When the Word speaks the heavens and the earth move to accomplish the spoken Word. John reveals that the Word of God became flesh. May I encourage you to know that even today God desires that you see the Word of God manifested in the flesh. 

John introduces us to the first miracle that Jesus did: the wedding at Cana. Here Jesus performs a miracle by having water turn into wine. The Word obeyed will yield great results. Jesus while attending a wedding is advised that the wine for the guests had run out. His mother instructs the workers to do whatever Jesus says. Jesus tells them to fill the 6 waterpots. God made man on the 6th day. Waterpots were made from clay same as man. This first miracle was about Jesus telling man that from now out of him would flow that which brings joy. Obedience to the Word will cause people to receive wine from your life. Fill yourself with the Word of God and you will see those around you drink of the wine of God from you. 

The wine at the wedding was found to be superior to that which was manmade. God will give to you that which is superior to man. Culture dictated that the best wine was served first. I have news for someone that your days are about to turn for the best ever. No longer will you think that the best days are gone but you will be served the best from now. God desires you understand that He is able to take water and turn it to be the best wine ever in your life. Your celebration is about to begin. What you have can be used by God. Jesus turned water to expensive wine. He will turn your life into the best that people will ask questions how can it be. 

Yield to God and watch Him turn your life around. 

Memory Verse: John 1:51

Decree: 

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (italics mine)

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

It is Settled

Day 296 Reading: 1 Peter 1:1 - 1 Peter 5:14 Challenges are the way of life. We celebrate winners because they overcome hurdles. Think about it, how many times do we celebrate those who innovate or break into new frontiers. The Wright brothers did what no other person had done. They flew a plane. They conquered the law of gravity with the law of flight. Was it a one day exercise? No, it took years. The worked on a plane from 1899 to 1903 when a power plane flew and continued to perfect it and the first practical aeroplane flew in 1905. Thomas Edison is celebrated for inventing the light bulb which he displayed after many failed experiments to get it to work.  Peter in writing to the churches encourages the believers to understand the place of process. He helps the believer understand the period between the trial and deliverance or a miracle is necessary. It's necessary for you and me to learn about trusting God fully. Peter exhorts the believer to fully rest his or her ...
