In facing the
battles of life, you need to realize the power of obedience. Jesus is our
comma
nder and obedience to Him is not optional. A soldier who will not listen
to his commander may become a victim. This is because the commanders are always
in the position to see ahead via several pieces of information and their
instructions are important.
In the scripture we read today, the marriage ceremony was about becoming a disgrace, but obedience brought them out. The celebrants were highly privileged to have the captain of life in attendance. And so, when confusion was stepping in, Mary knew what to do. Likewise, in your home and office, you need to learn the wisdom of Mary.
Don’t fight without direction; you will be wasting your bullets. And when you are directed by God, don’t be too wise to reject it. Remember, our fight is a fight of faith and faith comes by hearing the word (1 Timothy 6:12; Romans 10:17). Simple obedience in that ceremony earned them their miracle. Though we may be pressured by our needs, it is always better to wait to receive instruction and obey it. It doesn't have to look reasonable. Who would ever think fetching water would be the way to get wine? Common sense will prefer to go and buy wine. But it would have been impossible at midnight. When God’s instruction comes it will distinguish you while commonsense will put you in the common way of impossibility.
To overcome the battles of life, always obey what God is saying, even if it does not appeal to sense. Then, you will always see your miracle. Don’t be too wise. Learn to obey the Holy Spirit. He will deliver your victory to you.
PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO ALWAYS OBEY THE HOLY
SPIRIT.
“OBEDIENCE
TO GOD HAS NO COMMON GROUND WITH COMMON SENSE”
