FAITH CAPSULE: Expect from God for your request.

John 2:1-12

Behind every story in the bible there are powerful secrets to deliver and to turn lack to abundance. In the story of David killing Goliath there is enough secret for every believer to encounter all that represent goliath challenge. However, gaining understanding of the secret in the story (word) demands a listening ability. Jesus points out the source of gaining understanding, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to my word.” (John 8:43) Gaining understanding in the word of God is accessing the secret in the word and it demands listening attentively. One that is able to listen will gain understanding. With understanding in place, the ability to activate knowledge will give one a knowing edge over confronting challenge.
What is your challenge? The bible is loaded with more than enough secret to engage your confronting challenge. Are you in need of deliverance or attempting to overcome lack where abundance is in great demand?  The story about Jesus turning water into wine is a case where lack was converted into abundance. The secret in the story is what will also convert one’s lack to abundance. It is written in the story, “On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” (John 2:1-3) Is it your third day of a new week or your third day of a new month? Take conscious approach in your prayer and invite Jesus just as He was invited to the wedding on the third day. State it in your prayer it is your third day; point it out to the impartial God, just as He showed on the third day at the wedding you are inviting Him to show up for you on this third day.
On that third day of the wedding in Cana of Galilee, knowing that Jesus honored the invitation, a petition for need was spoken to Him by His mother stating, “They have no wine” As a believer, do you stand a ground to speak your need just as the mother of Jesus? Speak your need and move in trust, hoping for manifestation. His mother spoke and engage preparation stating, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” (John2:5) How are you preparing for the manifestation of your request? It is time to make a faith rooted preparation. Is it the blessing of the womb? It is time to begin to put baby’s need in place. The bible makes us to realize that without faith it is impossible to please God. (Hebrew 11:6) Going by the consistency in the word of God, it should be agreed that with faith God is pleased. Expect from God for your request.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to have a standing ground before Him.
