THE FIRST MIRACLE ....This's A Must Read



God does nothing that has no significance. Every event in the Bible has revelational significance. Like wise, every act of Jesus in the Bible has meaning. Let's look at the first miracle Jesus did on earth. This was the turning of water to wine at the marriage event at Cana of Galilee-John 2:1-11.

The Bible says the marriage feast ran out of wine. Then Mary the mother of Jesus came to Jesus to inform him about this challenge. She did know that Jesus had the power to provide a solution. Wine was finished, guests yet to be served are waiting, the ruler of the feast, the bride and the bridegroom are on the verge of being put to shame. Something urgent must be done to get a new wine supply. I speak to you reading this message: Which wine have you been used to that you think that's all you need for a living? If it's not the new wine supplied by Jesus, you are no where. Bible says, "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit"-Ephesians 5:18. The Holy Spirit made me understand that the word wine there is not only referring to the liquid drink, but it's about the things of the world. Be not drunk with the worldly things.

Jesus told the servants (who have been brought by Mary to do whatsoever he says) to fill the six water pots of stone with water. And then the water pots were filled to the brim. And the water were miraculously turned to wine.

The water represents the word of God: Ephesians 5:25-26 says, "...even as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of the water, by the word.". The wine represents the Holy Spirit(read Eph.5:18, Mathew 9:16-17) We are the water pots. The first miracle for man is the New Birth. He must be born of the water and of the Spirit. Scripture says, "except a man be born of the water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God"-John 3:5.

Don't forget, the water pots were not just filled with water, but were filled to the brim. Note the word 'BRIM'. This means that for a man to live the kingdom life and fulfill his PURPOSE , he must be filled with the word of God to the level of prevailing. You must be full with God's word, ready to burst out life to your world. Bible says "So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed"-Acts 19:20.

How the water in the water pots were turned into wine was a miracle. The Bible also represented this well when it says that how a man is born of the Spirit is not detectable by anyone: John 3:8 "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit"

And after the water in the water pots were turned into wine, Jesus said "Draw out now,..." You are to draw out the life of God in you to your world. After the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the next thing to do is to be a witness unto Him both in Jerusalem and Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the utter most part of the earth. You have to draw out. The world is waiting for your manifestation. The world is thirsty of the new wine. Would you heed the call to be used by Jesus to meet a need in your world? Come to Jesus in the marriage feast in Cana and be filled with Water the word of God and the Wine the Holy Spirit. Remain blessed
