Fill the water pots with water.

Around the year A.D 27, there was a marriage party in Galilee and the family of Joseph with his wife Mary and children were invited, at this time Mary's Firstborn Son, Jesus was very much in the family carpentry business and although had a specific mission to accomplish in his lifetime for the benefit of mankind was committed to strengthening the hold of the prestigious carpentry professional of his family.

His mother who had received the special message from her creator that she was going to birth a savior was still in awe of what kind of savior he was going to be, was he going to liberate the Jewish nation from the then prominent Roman Empire? She wasn't so sure but what she knew in her heart was that this special son of hers was going have enough power whatever the kind to be a 'savior'.

On arrival at this wonderful ceremony where joys of marriage filled the atmosphere and where there was food and wine and drink and celebrations aplenty, the family of Jesus joined in the celebrations with Jesus going to merry with his friends.

Then suddenly, the caterers and men in charge of the hospitality section discovered the wine was finished, a big surprise because the wine was expected to last the whole period of the ceremony and the number of guests, it appeared that the bride and bridegroom were very Honourable and well respected in Galilee that almost the whole town came to Honour their marriage ceremony with their presence, well the bridegroom had to be informed and tedious arrangements had to be made to refill the giant thirty-galloned six pots, but Mary one of the caterers who knew about her son's 'saving' power went to meet him where he was dining and chatting heartily with his friends and whispered to his ears about the situation on ground, Jesus obviously amazed replied and told her he hadn't begun his special mission yet, his mother prudently nudged him on and he arose and followed her to the kitchen.

On getting to the kitchen and seeing the disappointment clearly written on the faces of the servers, he was moved with compassion, then he ordered the servers to fill the giant six waterpots with water which they, in wonderment obeyed under the instruction of Mary. After they had filled the water pots with water, he then ordered them to serve the guests from the pots filled with water, the servers were in shock and in their minds wondered how the guests would take being served with water, anyways they obeyed as strictly instructed by Mary.
Alas, the water was made wine simply because they believed, no questions asked, no additives added, no fermentation needed, only BELIEVE, only FAITH.

The guests were flabbergasted on tasting the perfectly produced wine that they went on to meet the bridegroom on why he kept the best wine to the last part of the ceremony against the norm of serving the best wine first, the bridegroom himself being dumbfounded wondered how his caterers went on to pull such a miracle and that marriage ceremony went on so well that it became the talk of the town even till today.

This beautiful story goes on to show us that whatever we want in our lives is simply within our reach and is inside us, the best of us that we daily fantasize on and wish for is really inside us and is ready to become reality and the only barrier is our DOUBT!
Everyone reading this can turn water to wine and likewise walk on water and triumph on the challenges of life but you have to BELIEVE. A heart and mind of FAITH and BELIEVE cannot cohabit with HATE, ANIMOSITY and DOUBT, drop the negativity and pick on the Positives - Faith and Believing.

Because things looks dark now is just a pointer that light is ready to be switched on but we must first believe so and never give up!
Are you a student who keeps on studying and you are getting discouraged? Just keep on filling the water pots with water!
Are you into business and you seem to have done everything from improving your service to observing business rules and that your goal still seems out of reach? Just keep on filling the water pots with water!
Are you still concerned about your life seemingly confused on where it's heading to? Don't give up, your life has a meaning, Just keep on filling the water pots with water!

Since you have taken the first step of believing by filling your pots with water, when the pots are full and it's harvest time, your creator will step in - might be in a dream, a vision or even a revelational thought and tell you clearly, now draw out of that pot and distribute it to the guests of humanity, you then obey in absolute faith and then joyful humanity having tasted your water-now-turned-wine then asks 'where have you been all this while? We've been waiting for this'.


Happy Sunday.
