MGD: Pay Attention to Instructions - 2

Shalom jarly beloved, this is the Harvest Chapel International coming

your way once again with today's episode of the Morning

Glory Devotion facilitated by a pastor and Missus Wafo. God

richly bless you for your participation. Let us kindly share

a word of prayer further in the name of Jesus.

Thank you and bless you for the gift of life.

Thank you for joining us to your presence to receive

of you. Please minister to our individual needs through your

in Jesus name. Amen, Amen, let us kindly see our

confession from Joshua chapter one, verse eight. This book of

the Law shall not be part out of my mouth,

but I shall meditate in it day and night, that

I may observe to do according to all that just

waiting in it. But then I will make my way

past us, and then I will have good sources. Amen beloved.

Our Bible reading for today is taken from Joint chapter

two this one to eleven, and the theme for this

episode is pay attention to Instruction Part two. Pay Attention

to Instruction Part two. I kindly take the reading Johnt

chapter two Versus one to eleven from the New English translation. Now,

on the third day, there was a wedding at Cana

in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, and Jesus and his

disciples were also invited to the wedding. When the wine

ran out, Jesus' mother said to him, they have no

wine left. Jesus replied, woman, why are you saying this

to me? My time has not yet come. His mother

told the sevants, whatever he tells you to do, do

it now. There were six stone water jerzs therefore Jewish

ceremonial worship, each holding twenty to thirty galloons. Jesus told

the sevants fill the water jazz with water, so they

filled them up to the very top. Then he told them,

now draw some out and take it to the head steward,

and they did. When the heard steward tasted the water

that had been turned to wine, not knowing where it

came from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew,

he called the bridegroom and said to him, everyone serves

the good wine first, and then the cheaper wine when

the guests are drunk. You have kept the good wine

until now. Jesus did this as the first of his

miracular signs in Kenna of Galilee. In this way, he

revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him beloved.

The reading of the Word of the Lord is be.

Pay attention to instructions Part two. In part one of

this series, we looked at how God wraps our breakthroughs

inside his instructions. We realized from Noah's example that the

breakthroughs we desire in life don't usually arrive fully formed.

God sometimes sends us instructions when we are waiting for

him to move in a spectacular flash of lightning and

suddenly strip our problems away in a well wind. He

rarely drops a miracle out of the sky without requiring

a human hand to move. But let us be honest

with ourselves today, is it always easy to follow those instructions?

Do those instractions always make sense to our natural way

of thinking? The truth is some of the directions we

receive from God feel utterly confusing to the human mind.

We save a God whose thoughts are vastly higher than ours,

which means his instructions will often clash with our logic.

Think about the wedding at Cana in Galilee, as recorded

in John chapter two, The celebration was in full swing,

but behind the scenes panic had set in. They had

completely run out of wine. It must have been a

deeply humiliating situation for the young couple. Mary approached her

son Jesus Christ and requested of him to do something

about the shameful situation. She also turned to the Sevens

at the ceremony and gave them a piece of timeless advice.

Whatever he tells you, do it John Chapter to the

Verst five. But look at what Jesus actually told them

to do. He pointed to six massive stone water jazz,

which were therefore Jewish ceremonial washing, and said, filled the

water jazz with water. John Chapter to the Verst seven.

Imagine being one of those sevens, you desperately need wine,

yet you are told to carry heavy backs of water

from the well. It made no sense. It did not

solve the immediate crisis. Yet they obeyed, completely, filling the

jazz right up to the brain. The miracle happened the

moment they began to draw it out, the water had

become wine. Their obedience to Jesus's instruction that defied human

logic saved the wedding feast from disaster. We see the

same pattern with the ten lepids who cried out to

Jesus for mercy in Luke chapter number seventeen. He did

not touch them as they would have ordinarily expected. He

did not speak a word of immediate healing over their

bodies either. Instead, he gave them a strong command, go

and show yourself to the priests. Look seventeen the verse fourteen.

According to the law of Moses, a leper only went

to the priest after they were already healed, to be

officially pronounced clean, as in Levitical chapter thirteen and fourteen.

So why would Jessus send them to the temple while

their skin was still covered in souls? Can you picture

them turning round to walk that long path towards the temple,

still carrying the pain and shame of their condition. Yet

the Bible records a miraculous detail. In Luke chapter seventeen,

the verse fourteen, he says, and as they went along

they were clinged. If they had waited to see their

skin clear up before taking a single step, they would

have massed their healing entirely. The miracle was activated on

the road of obedience. Perhaps today you are facing a

situation that looks completely backward. Maybe you are praying for

a financial relief and you feel the prompting to gain.

You are praying about a broken relationship, and the word

of God tells you to bless those who hurt you

and pray for those who are cruel to you. You

are contemplating in revenge for an offense, and you keep

hearing that gentle whisper to love your enemies and do

good to those who hate you, beloved, Such other ways

of God, they are higher than our ways. To your

natural mind, it feels foolish, but pressures one. Do not

cast away God's direction just because it does not fit

your human calculations. Your obedience is the highest expression of

your faith. Can you trust him enough to take that

first step? Even while the content of the stone water

just still looks like water, and the skin still looks diseased.

Keep moving in that direction he has told you to go.

You will not regret. God richly bless you, beloved. Let's

take a our memory. Verse from John chapter two, the

verse five, he says his mother told the sevenths whatever

he tells you.

Do it.

His mother told the sevenths whatever he tells you do it.

Let's share a word of prayer. Father, we are grateful

to you for teaching us about your instructions that don't

matter how foolish they may seem and illogical they may

seem in our human eyes, we can still follow, trusting

that your ways are higher than our ways, and your

instructions will definitely take us to an expected end. We

pray for the grace to follow now and always in

Jesus Mighty name. We have prayed Amen and Amen, Lover.

We are glad you were able to join the Morning

Glory devotion today. We know that it definitely will make

an impact in your life. We will come your way

again with a third part of this series. Till then,

stay glued to Radio ACI today and enjoy a spirit

filled atmosphere. God richly bless you.
