God tells me, "I have never seen a king who desires to leave his own kingdom so to serve another master, James do you remember Isaiah 45? I have summoned you by name, I have anoited you, appointed you, have gone before you. Are you out of your mind?"
I had a calling and people to serve but by then I was filled with destructive ideas, going to work outside of Uganda, I believed that I had to get money so to serve others, and I was just thinking of the way to go, but yes my covinction was also about the ministry. I wanted atleast something that would make me rich suddenly, but all because of my uncontecious heart.
Then the Holy Spirit commanded me, I will you "command" because really I was out of mind. He commanded me to read John chapter 2:1-10.
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine,
And knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, and saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
Then the Holy Spirit said to me these words;
James do you see Mary, she believed that Jesus could solve her problem.
Don't mind about the master of ceremonies, When God is in it, all things are good and pure from the start to the end. HE IS NOT LIKE OTHERS, who after bringing you happiness, they then bring missery.
So He asked me, "what else do you learn fron this scripture?"
Allow me to share with you what I learnt and a moral to this story that am currently experiencing.
- Christ is invited on a wedding, as well as our life is a celebration, and Christ is invited. Then they run out of wine as we may run out of ideas, hope, and faith. Mary calls out Christ, as we are always looking for solutions, Mary tells the young maids do whatever He tells you. Our life can live well and better once we decide in obedience to do what Christ tells us to do. James 1:21-25
Well as in John chapter 2, the Holy Spirit drives to Psalms 65:11 that says, " You crown the year with Your goodness; and Your paths drip abundance."
- Christ(the life changer) sets up a constant life standard for us, according to the master of ceremonies that others serve good wine first and when all have drunk , they bring in the bad wine. But For Christ's presence, the master was wondering how possible this was. John 10:10. For I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Therefore to say, God crowns every year with His goodness, and His paths drip abundance. I can't tell you how well I am now because everyday, He just add me happiness, favor, abundance, and His tremedous love. What I lacked was to trust God, many people share different backgrounds, and if you're like me that you could not even trust the love of your very parents! The word trust was literally not in me. I have learned to trust God, and slowly by slowly, things have changed.
So brethrens, I besitch to trust God, His ways are mavelous, His paths drip abundance and thus Solomon say, " Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans." Prov 16:3.
Gal 5:6 says, For when we place our faith in Christ Jesu, there is no benefit in being circumcised or not. What is important is faith expressing itself in love.
So dear brothers and sisters, there is nothing more beautiful have I ever seen than trusting God. He is so wonderful, and as You walk in His paths, you will be attacked by His abundance.
I love you and not more than what God loves you. Remember He is love, and that's His nature wow. May God richly bless you in Jesus Christ name. Amen.
