Do it
Memory Verse: - John 2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
Bible Reading: - John 2:1 – 25
Message
Mary, the mother of Christ, the most pure of virgins, the most holy of all wives and the first Christian mother was at the marriage feast with Jesus and his disciples in attendance. The holy ones under the control of the Holy Spirit do not just attend any functions unless they are invited; and Paul told us in the scriptures that:
 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. [1Cor10:27].  So it is not a sin to attend a feast you are invited to so far it is not an idolatrous feast like that of Nebuchadnezzar or feast that will not glorify God.
But at this marriage feast, there was a problem of lack of wine and Mary asked Jesus to do something about it despite the fact that he had not started his earthly ministry; she nurture and care for Jesus right from conception to this time; she might have experienced that Jesus carry a special anointing. As the first teacher of Christ, she would have learnt how he [Jesus] proffered solutions to problems they might have come across in their family or better still because she knew Jesus was a special child conceived in an extraordinary manner; and that angel called him a son of God. In a nutshell, she knows the capability of Jesus more than anyone else at this time.
Even though Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. Jn 2:4. She still commanded the servant to listen to him [Jesus] and do whatsoever he bid them do. Jesus manifested the true nature of God here that when you have a cordial son or daughter relationship with God; he will not deny you your request.
Jesus is the same today, he is the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the whole world; the way, the truth and the life and by his name all knees must bow of things in heaven above, on earth and beneath the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus is the Lord. If you do all Jesus had commanded in the scriptures everyday of your life, you can then asked him anything like Mary his mother did, and he will grant it you.
Jn 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.  
Do whatever Christ has commanded you as a believer, and he will in turn grant you your request, he is ever faithful and is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.
Confession of the Day
Whatever he commands I will do for there is no other gospel way; and he will grant me all my petitions; my expectations shall never, never be cut off.
 Prayer Points
Heavenly father, give me power to will and to do according to your divine purpose. Grant me answers to all my requests in Jesus name. Deliver me from evil doers and prayer hinderers in Jesus name.[Amen]

STERLING LEADERSHIP

Image
D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved ...

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. — HEBREWS 2:14 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
