TURNING MY NEED TO A SEED
Text : John 2: 1-9 and 2 Kings 4: 1-7
I am at a point in my life where I am learning
that since I do not have enough substance/wherewithal to make happen that which
I desire, then I will have to use what I have (which is rather insignificant
and not enough) as the seed which will have to go into the ground, decompose
and sprout up with the actual substance that I am believing God for.
At the wedding, the miracle worker was in
attendance and he did the miracle in a very simple way. Our God is not complex
at all. He made use of water (an element already present at the venue of the
wedding). Likewise the widow, she was asked to use the very same pot of oil
which she already had.
It behooves us as believers to heed God’s
instruction in every circumstance that we find ourselves and listen for the
simplest instructions. Having heard the instruction, then we must be willing to
obey. We must never ever disobey or neglect what He asks us to do. It would
have been easy for the wedding attendants to despise “ordinary water” and for
the widow to relegate her “small pot of oil” but in these little things which
they had in their hands (and were willing to let go) were the actual big
miracles that they needed.
Further reading:
1 cor 15:36 How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.37 When you sow, you do not plant the body that will
be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38 But God gives it a body as he has determined, and
to each kind of seed he gives its own body.
Ecc 11: 5 As you do not know
the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, so you
cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.
