How to get new wine for the New Year!



Jesus need be invited into your life this 2014

John 2:1-3 KJV
(1) And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
(2) And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
(3) And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

There are some pertinent lessons I want us to glean from the account of the first ever miracle of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Verse 2 says:
And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage…

This is very important! In your relationship and or marriage, don’t just call your ‘disciples’ but make sure you call Jesus as well!

When the chips are down, the disciples cannot do anything about the wine that is beginning to wane; only Jesus will!
Note that we are not talking about wedding here, but marriage! Wedding is a one day affair, but marriage is for the lifetime.

In 2014, for your relationship and or marriage to work, you’ve got to have Jesus in the party, so that when the party is about to get into embarrassment mode, Jesus will bail you out!

Thank God for ‘disciples!’ Thank God for your friends and well-wishers. But they can only sympathize with you and have some pity-party, there is only one person that can turn your water into wine and His name is Jesus.

A conscious and deliberate relationship with His person is all you need in 2014! He will be there for you and will save you from shame!

Along the line in marriage, there will be those times when the wine is done with, or has been dissipated, when the taste is lost and the sweetness seemed gone! There will be those times when sweet becomes sour in marriage. What do you do at such times?

One needs wine at such times or else one will come up playing the card of ‘irreconcilable differences!’

In the above scenario, the wine suddenly finished! People invited to the party finished the wine! Pressures from people around us can often drain us and leave us empty at the end of the day, causing the wine of relationship or marriage to simply ‘finish.’

At such times, the only thing that will save you is if Jesus was invited to the marriage!

That is how to make your relationship or marriage work in 2014! He has to be called to the marriage! And that is something you do consciously and deliberately! - Pastor Dunamis Okunowo

  LOVE & SPIRITUAL GIFTS [Friday May 23, 2014] Memorise: Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.   1 Corinthians 14:1 Bible in a Year: Genesis 48-50; Psalm 108 Read:   1 Corinthians 12:1-2 1  Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2  Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Message: Our God is the Almighty. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He is also good and His mercy endures forever. One character of God that is transmissible through us is love. How do we show that we know God? It is by showing His love ( 1 John 4:8 ). Let us love one another. Let’s demonstrate the love of God to our brethren. Let’s show them that we care. The people we are to show love to includes those that are lovable and those that do not deserve our love. Do you love your critics? Do you love your persecutors? Do you love the un...

ARE YOU A CARROT, EGG OR COFFEE BEAN?

A young woman told her mother how hard her life was. She didn't know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that as she solved a problem, another one arose. Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water. In the first pot, she placed carrots. In the second pot, she placed eggs. In the last pot, she put coffee beans. She let them sit and boil without saying a word.  After about 20 minutes, she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out, and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out, and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and place it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter she asked '' What do you see? ''.'' Carrots, eggs and coffee '' the daughter replied. The mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrot...

SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS - 21/03/2014 Yesterday’s message was titled “ THE WAY OF ESCAPE   ”. Today’s message is titled “ SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS ” as provided by Pastor E. A. Adeboye in Open Heavens Devotional (Adeboye, 2014). In today’s message, we have been asked to memorise  2Timothy 4:2:   "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all Iongsuffering and doctrine. and read   Luke 8:38-40.     The Bible in one year for today has been taken from   Ezekiel 16-12 and Psalms 67:1 -68:6   (Adeboye, 2014). The message is quoted below. God bless you for your contribution "There is one great sin of omission that contemporary followers of Jesus Christ are guilty of. We enjoy God's grace, forgiveness, healing, breakthrough, P9309 and joy but fail to share the good news with others so that they may become beneficiaries of the benevolence of the Almighty God. We tend to take interest in staying in our beautif...
