MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO
SPECIALLY BREWED FOR YOU
Read John 2:1-10
John 2:9, KJV
"When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom".
From time immemorial, man has taken several initiatives to distinguish invaluable men from the other. One of such distinction is achieved by the specialness or rarity of things owned. There was a particular time that paper was only available for the nobles'. Also, you must have heard of phrases like, "Made for me; cut to fit, tailored towards my needs e.t.c before?". All these expressions came out of the inventions of professionals to meet the needs of their clients. Things could be made just for you. A fashion designer could make a suit like never before - whose design is not in the market place just for you. We've seen several cases of people approaching manufacturing institutions to specially make them a thing for distinction and then to meet their special need. It ranges from vehicles to materials that aids any who's medically challenged and then to household materials that may bear the logo or brand of such mighty men. Consider the president of the U.S. for instance. His office affords him the privilege of driving a customized vehicle called the beast. That vehicle amidst his motor pool was made to meet the need of a highly sought after leader who may be a target of assassins all over the place. It's a limousine with over 7 tons of armour. It can withstand high caliber gun fire or even an explosive device! That was made for an office and to stay him alive.
In today's reading, Jesus of course wrought his first miracle of turning water to wine. This act didn't happen just like that. A need warranted it. When we seek after a need being met and acquire a thing to dissolve same need, we're not doing such for pleasure. Pleasure is when you already have a need met and you're at satisfactory level but you just want to recline in abundance or delight your flesh. Jesus made a wine - like never before type when they wanted it. It was brewed specially for that wedding and to the estimation of those couples. If you don't know, people already began to wonder after the discretion of the groom to have kept such special wine till then though it was not his making. Because God takes thought for you too, that's how you'll look wise to people due to what He'll wrath in your life by his divine wisdom of keeping the best for the end. What is specially made isn't common and this all together places a premium on the groom and wife. There's nobody who leaves that wedding who won't talk of the special wine they took when it seems the event has winded down. Except that wine remains after the event, none will find it on sale. A thing brewed specially for you is rare and made just to attend to your own particular need. At times, you may not be able to duplicate it. Like this wine, it occurs once and for all and is gone.
When it is thought of the bridegroom that his event is coming to an end because he lacks what could make the event lively, a comeback was made and it was even a better and comely comeback. Wherever you're lacking and not meeting up, today, God almighty will cause a provision that will make you meet up. It won't only be a provision but a special one. People will see it and wonder at its specialness. They'll salute you for your wisdom and call you discrete for knowing how to wage the war of wisdom. Your best has not been seen at all. If the path of the righteous is said to be as the shining light, it stands to reason that the wine (glory, honour, blessing, wealth, fame) that would shock the world is coming later into your life. What you are at 25 is lesser than who you'll become at 35. It will be from glory to glory. If the wine they had afore tasted was lesser in quality than the one with which they closed the event with, it prompts me to say you'll exit this earth gloriously than you came or met it. Your best have not been served. We're keeping that as a last card to shock those who are seeking to compete or outcompete you. By the time we allow this miracle of the rarest wine, glory, wealth, promotion etc to be wrath, they'll testify like the ruler of the party did that, "you have kept the best for the end". Your end will therefore better and surpass your beginning.
