THIS BEGINNING OF MIRACLES: Understanding Your First - My Very First Day Series 003
John 2:11, KJV
"This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him".
What do you understand by, "this beginning of miracles...?"
What do you think that expression means if it were to be rewritten in other words? It would have been, "this is the first of His miracles..."
It would have mean, "this is the first of His miracles which He did in Cana of Galilee and He manifested His glory and His disciples believed in Him".
That, "it is the beginning of His miracles" therefore means it didn't end there. As all of us know and would testify, Jesus still does much miracles after this one. But this carries the label, "His first". From there, we learnt a lesson that anything that's first in your life should be acknowledged, marked and recorded. You must not let it go unrecognized. It is not easy to come to experience the first of anything. It usually takes time before such event appears. Imagine when you first observe you're now a man or a woman. That was at puberty when you begin to see some changes in your body or passion. That's when the guys see semen, have deep voice etc and when your body even as a female changes to begin to grow into that of adult women you know. What a thing that a girl now sees menstration come. This is what she has not experienced before. It should be marked. Tangibility and recognition should be attached to it. It's her first and it'll one day testify to her "motherhood".
Now, I was saying that being their first does not means the end of that experience. The first day a boy saw semen ejaculated and a girl, blood for menstration is not the end of those experiences. Rather, it marks the beginning of those consistent experiences.
I'm hearing my Father. My Father and Lord is near. The anointing is heavy on me. The garment is worn me now. What I'm hearing is that, "you have started and you shall go on until you reach the climax of that experience. You won't die young. You won't get cut short in the midst of your days. This experience of witnessing a change of level and being transcended has started but it will not stop". Jesus started in Cana of Galilee where His first miracle was wrought at a wedding. Water was turned to wine but that wasn't His last. The Bible calls it, "this beginning His miracles." I'm hearing, "there are many more after this".
Look at me brethren! What you have seen or what has began to happen to you is just the beginning of the experiences you'll still see and behold. Jesus would still see the dead raised in His ministry but He began with the turning of water into wine. It began with the event in Cana of Galilee. Today, yours will start and from there will flow ceaselessly ever until you reach your old age and fulfill, "and they shall bear fruits in their old age" (Psalm 92:14). Some of you who have founded something by inspiration and calling on you, you'll see that thing grow and go on to become a world- wide phenomenon. It's not staying here only. It's going there - getting throughout the places and reaching its height in its day and time.
PRAYER: Lord, let me experience grace, move in the Holy Ghost, utterance and all divine abilities and aids ceaselessly. I go on to fulfill my calling.
