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

Valentine or Violent-Time (Part 3)

Over the years, some religious folks have defined and classified February 14 as the devil's day. They argue that the Valentine was not a Saint, and even if he was, it was not proper to keep a day to remember him. By God's grace, I have subjected myself to regular study of the scriptures and godly books in several libraries especially the e-libraries. My philosophy has been guided by the knowledge acquired from comparative and HOLYGHOST inspired study. If God is not against Christmas, and Easter, then why should He be against Valentine's Day? Many of us have known so much that we have created our own "Newer Testament" after the new testament of the Holy Bible. Is God against celebrations? Definitely, No! Jesus visited a wedding in Cana, he was at most Jewish feasts, and He organized a feast by feeding, on one occasion, 5,000 men. Our God loves feasting. He loves to see us celebrate. But all feastings must be done in Holiness in order to be approved ...
