FAITH CAPSULE: By your invitation, if you will let Him into your life, He will let all that is not of God fail in your life.
John 2:1-10
Jesus stated, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” (Revelation 3:20) Are you paying attention to the only one that reverses the irreversible? The living Word of God stands at your door knocking. The Psalmist recorded, “Today, if you will hear His voice: “Do not harden your hearts…” (Psalm 95:7-8) Evidently, hardness of hearts is also one thing that denies hearing His voice. Are you operating hardness of heart? Will you extend invitation to Jesus and let Him come and govern every area of your affairs?
At a certain wedding in Cana of Galilee Jesus was present. Jesus’ presence at the wedding denied mockery, embarrassment, failure and ridicule from having a place in the wedding. It was not accidental that Jesus was at this wedding. It is written, “Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.”(John2:2) Jesus was at the wedding by invitation of the celebrant. The most important fact is that, Jesus was there at the wedding when the wedding celebration was at the point of mockery. The celebration was running short of wine when the mother of Jesus spoke to Jesus the living Word of God stating, “…they have no wine.” (John 2:3) The statement made by the mother of Jesus provoked Jesus’s miracle to replace mockery. Jesus is knocking; regardless of your challenge will you consider inviting Him into to your challenge? The same way Jesus converted mockery to miracle at the wedding, so shall He answer to your challenge at your invitation. He masters converting frustration to celebration; stagnation to motion. Have you invited Him into your goings and comings today? Have you invited Him into your week, month or the remaining days of this year? He is worthy of your invitation. Jesus is always waiting on us at our door for our invitation. He is not a partial God. He will not force Himself on any man because He is not a slave master but a saving master. If you will let Him into your life, He will let all that is not of God fail in your life. At the wedding, His presence filled all the emptiness with fullness. Jesus will not turn down our invitation if we will look up and call on Him today. He will fill you up. As usual, do not rush out to where you are going without extending your invitation to Him.
Prayer for today:Ask God to uphold you in every step of your life and to visit you in every area of life challenges.
