Topic: Have You Invited The Master Yet?
Text: John 2: 2 – 3; 10
2 Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. 3 And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine” 10 And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now.” Amen
Many of us have a lot of struggles in our walk with God. Sometimes, we assume that as Christians, God should step into our lives and cause things to flow the way we expect them to. However, it is sad to say that God does not deal with us that way.
Our complains, cries and struggles do not necessarily mandate God to act unless we officially invite Him. God expects us to invite Him into our situation; where we can hand over our many fears, struggles and doubts.
From the passage above, the Bible said both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. It is quite possible that there were many weddings during that time in Galilee. The only account we read of the Lord attending a wedding is this particular one that He was invited to.
And there at the wedding, the Lord Jesus supernaturally held held the forte together so that neither the couple nor the organizers were put to shame. Although He was invited as a guest, once the wedding organizers listened to His word and obeyed, Jesus became the best divine gift that happened to them all.
Precious One, you can extend an invitation to the Lord right now. He is ever ready to come in and fellowship with you. He says “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). Wow, what an opportunity!
And you can see Beloved, that the best assurance from the passage is that the Lord stepped in right on time before the couple would be put to shame, and performed a mighty miracle; turning ordinary water into wine before the guests would even notice there was a shortage. Beloved, could it be therefore that we have not had the “best of our lives” because we haven’t invited the Lord yet?
Why don’t you let Him in today? Give Him the fragments of your broken life! Had over to Him your finances, marriage, academics, ministry and hopes. He knows the end of every matter right from its very beginnings. Also, He is able to keep all what we entrust to Him to the very end. That’s how we know all is well if Christ should step in your boat this very minute.
Begin to pray now and invite the Lord to take charge of everything in this new week and beyond. He will provide strength to carry us through the demands this week has to offer. He will lighten every burden we carry and give us rest on every side. We will never be the same again.
Let Jesus in, NOW!
