THE BLESSEDNESS OF THE OPENED EYES

II Kings 6:17, KJV

"And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha".

We have to pray. We really have to pray that God opens our eyes to see. Not seeing is a deficiency. Blindness is not an asset but a vulnerability to many dangers. It's only a blessing for the blind to have as its guide he who sees. However, it pays to see for oneself. It pays to have the faculty that's aware personally and without looking unto any one for revelation or notices. 

In today's reading, the King of Syria would want Elisha to be arrested for having exposed much of his military plans. Having gathered intelligence on where he dwells, an operation "Catch Him Young" was sent by this Syrian king to nip Elisha in the bud. It's this that brought the many horses and chariots that have themselves surround Dothan. Indeed, Elisha is grinded in human parlance but for God who is with him. 

When his servant observes and sees this reality, he shouts desperately and wonder what they shall do - how they shall escape. However, Elisha is well confident because of what else he has seen. Apart from the physical reality around them, he has seen the spiritual reality that's for them. It's this succour he provides for his servant when he says, "they that be with us are more than they that be with them". However, this only scratched this servant, it yet didn't build faith in him until Elisha had prayed that he be brought into same position and status as he. He therefore prays that God will open his eyes. In a jiffy when this was done, the servant sees the entire valley filled with horses and chariots of fire. Only then could he agree that they that be with them are more than they that are against them. He saw their resources. He saw the beings that are not ordinary or physical yet tangible to influence the earth and its realities. In this wise, he resolutely rests in the provision of the Lord. How many times have we feared because of what we see - dread as physical fear but to the neglect of our divine resources that is more able even to the pulling down of great strongholds (physical or spiritual). 

Brethren, we need to see. We need to see beyond the physical that's common and is the special privilege of all. We can see through and see into the world of the spirits, discern good and evil; demons and angels. We need to see. We desperately need to see! Some have shared how it's not only humans that live on this terrestrial ball called earth. One might take it for a wonder and deem it impossible but if God should open your eyes to see, you'll observe that not all humans are even humans. If Elisha's servant's eyes were never opened, he won't know as reality that apart from physical horses and chariots that there are on earth, there are such models in the spirit. 

Paul praying for the Ephesians says this. 

Ephesians 1:16-18, KJV

"16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints..."

Whether your understanding is opened to conceptualize the Word or God's plan and activity on earth or you have insight into divine knowledge, all is a form of seeing - because it involves knowing being granted you. And until you see, you can't understand deep things. There are heights that we can attain, there are blessings that we can have and that's to have the blessing of the opened eyes. Even Psalmist hollers in prayer that his eyes would be opened. 

Psalms 119:18, KJV

"Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law".

He knows that without the opened eyes, without the scales falling off from the eyes and the capsule or casing of the Word being broken, he can not penetrate or see any wondrous thing from God's law. One thing is consequent upon an opened eyes. You will see wondrous things! Things that you cannot all describe. Things that until you saw you never believed existed. My prayer is short, simple yet shall be again effective on you today. It's that God will open your eyes/understanding. You'll know God's love plan for you and see into the riches of His glory. You won't be deaf and dumb children. When God pipes to you, you'll respond accordingly and you shall altogether fulfill your very purpose of existence. You won't miss out of the will of God because the Lord will open your eyes to see wondrous things (deep and uncommon revelation) from His Word. This way, your path will be naturally ordered and you won't fall into the pits of many. You're therefore saved. You're therefore delivered from what will happen but which like Elisha you have seen and now get warned by or warns others of. I see you with the blessed seeing faculty.  

PRAYER: Lord, grant me the blessing of the opened eyes and understanding. Enlighten me and let me see wondrous, awe causing and troubling things.

FILLED AND THEN TO OVERFLOW

John 1:16, KJV

"And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace."

Today my Wing brothers and sisters, I'll be describing those two experiences above. They are what you can have. They are experiences that are possible, can and should be consequent in your life. Your season can come for you to enter into each of them. One precedes the other. Being filled precedes the experience of overflowing. By the anointing today, you shall begin to experience being filled and then you shall experience an overflow. Just believe in God and then believe in me, God's anointed. In this way, difficult things shall be made easy. 

At Cana of Galilee, as Jesus readies to turn water to wine, He instructs to fill some six water pots with water. 

John 2:7, KJV

"Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water..."

At day's end, we have this report, "...and they filled them up to the brim" (John 2:7b). There's a huge difference between filling something and then filling it to the brim; having something and then having it to the fullest. A huge difference there be between both. It's possible to be an owner of something but a scanty possessor of it. However, it's possible to enter into the experience of "receiving grace for grace" from God until one is really filled to the brim. To be filled to the brim means to be blessed for one self, lacking nothing that can delight and comfort oneself. You automatically become self contained. You get where your own hands can meet your own needs any time, any day. However, there's another level and that's the one Psalm 23:5 talks about when it says, "thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over". Now, here's a new experience - different from being filled to the brim that makes one able to support oneself. This rather describes a vessel - a person who has so much of something until he constantly gives or pours away of same. 

That actually describes Jesus in John 1:16. The Bible says, "of His fullness have we all received grace for grace". Jesus has a fullness - to the brim or filling the room blessing. But beyond that, He pours into us on daily basis. No one can pour into another yet doesn't have an overflow or an issuing spring that renews him. Not having a spring or overflow is a signal to a soon drying up. 

You might also need to be taken on a reminder that as that widow in debt pours the oil into one vessel to set it aside by itself, the oil keeps pouring because it's actually operating by a spiritual overflow. As long as there are vessels to pour oil into - to call oil out from this original giving jar, oil keeps pouring though the oil in the pouring jar doesn't fill its jar to the brim. However, that little oil has suddenly being enlarged and blessed to give away abundantly (II Kings 4:6). 

Where do you want to stay? Where you're filled to the brim with heaven's blessings or to go a step to where you're not only filled but you overflow, and because you are, you shed your fat and abundance of overflow to others? When I hear the term, "shed fat" or "lose weight", I wonder. Only those with excesses go into such exercises of shedding  already accumulated and overflowing fat or weight. If you're slim like myself, what excess of body fat do you need to shed when your wife's effort and prayer is that you'll even add weight?

God told Abraham that He'll bless him and he'll be a blessing (Gen.12:2). There are blessings that are personally contained. They become a pool. They are not rivers neither streams that run to bless others. I don't want self contained blessings only. I want a gift for all, an anointing for the nations. 

It's my prayer today that the Lord will shuttle you into the next level of joy. It's my prayer that'll you'll leave being filled to the brim to entering into the overflow experience. 

PRAYER: Lord, top me up with blessings until I'm filled and then overflows.

THIS BEGINNING OF MOSES' MIRACLES - My Very First Day Series 008

Read Exodus 3, 4:1-9

Exodus 4:1-2, KJV

"And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. 2 And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod".

This second verse above is a response to the refusal of God's call on Moses to be the chosen vessel by which Israel will be delivered from Egypt (Exo. 3). God has met Moses in a bush that burnt but was not consumed and now He's commissioning him as Israel's deliverer but Moses says, "they will not believe or listen to him and that they'll say the Lord didn't appear to him". On this note, God decided to start with Moses. God decided to convert him from his own doubt and unbelief first of all. He began just by asking him a question. "What is that in your hand?" Moses replies, "a rod". God told him to throw it down. He does and it on site becomes a snake. Seeing that, he flees from it in fear. God then teaches him how to handle it. God told him to pick or grab it up by its tail. When he did, it became a rod again. This way, God works on converting Moses from his own doubt by proving a sign to him. 

To further concretize him, God asks him to dip his hands into his bosom. He does and when he brought it out, it turns leprous. God asks him to repeat the process and when he does, his hands become cleansed. 

By these two established signs, God proves to Moses that it is He who appears to him. More so, God also told him that if any of these two signs won't be believed, he should perform the third. He should collect water from their river and pour it on dry ground. In a jiffy, the Lord said, it'll become blood. 

Though Moses would go on to still doubt God yet this is the beginning of Moses' miracles. The glory that Moses would manifest forth, for which He'll be referenced as God's sent servant actually began secretly here with God when he was taught how to do miracles. 

One time, I had a dream where I was being taught how to administer a ministration. This is also true of an elderly coveted minister and General Overseer headquartered in Nigeria. He would see a divine hand writing something on the board and a divine voice teaching him what to teach the body of Christ. So, the fact that God teaches Moses how to do miracles or admnisters signs isn't strange. As a matter of fact, I praise that. But without deviating from our line of study and theme, the years to come of glory that Moses would reference; the parting of the Red Sea he'll always remember and for which the entire world would remember him had its roots first in the beginning of his miracles at the backside of the desert at Mount Horeb. If you're looking for a day to mark for Moses when he started being used to do signs and wonders, this is the day. The day he threw an ordinary staff down and it became a snake while the cycle came back to itself again; the day he puts his hands in his bosom and it became leprous to the recycling of the process was the very day Moses began to move in signs and wonders. Till then, he was never capable of anything supernatural.

Many ministers have shared when they noticed signs and wonders, healings or miracles in their ministries. W. F. Kumuyi, a Nigerian minister who has an international ministry that's uncompromising talks of his reading the book of T.L. Osborne on healing the sick as if he were preparing for an exam. He said after reading the book by marking, underlining and making all its content his meditation, he just began to observe that even at Bible study, people began to give testimonies of being healed. Yet, just as he taught them. The signs and wonders began without his having done it consciously or his being aware himself. It began by looking at the reports of those who sat under his ministry. That's how he took off. That was his day of signs and wonders. That was his beginning of miracles. Just like Jesus' was in Cana of Galilee (John 2); Kumuyi's could have been in the University Campus of Lagos (UNILAG) where he started the ministry with 15 members during his first year as a lecturer.

Everybody has his first day - that day that when remembered, it would cause glory and worship to be sent back to God. Oh, how I thank God over my life. I remembered the day I launched the ministry without conferring with any flesh and blood. First, it started with the name Youth on Morning Wings and we operated by that for months before it was rightly articulated into Morning Wings Ministry. I pray, may our beginning always humble us. May we not stop where we have started. May we pursue a more excellent ministry and see all that litters this road of the calling. May we go on to know the Lord. 

PRAYER: Lord, cause me not to shrink back. May I see my better days. Here's my vessel, start with me.

THE BEGINNING OF SAMSON'S MOVE - My Very First Day Series 007

Read Judges 13

Judges 13:24-25, KJV

"24 And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him. 25 And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol".

In the course of this series, I hope you've encountered God and have been taken back to reminisce how you've fared till now and how you've administered the grace that God gave you since deposit. Or, have you been a waster of the resources with which God says you should see to the welfare of the world? God forbid!

Samson is another man whom the Lord started with. He became very great in the will of God. A one man battalion who has the testimony of "heaps upon heaps...(Judges 15:16)." Such is his own testimony. By his hands, God begins to deliver Israel out of the hands of the Philistines. Many times what we remember of great men and God's vessel is their glory days only. We rarely remember their days of stirring when they were just developing their wings, seeking to fly. However, Samson just didn't start as a champion without a beginning. God began with him somewhere and you'd be surprised to know that it was while in the camp of Dan. That's where he lives and God came there to visit him just like He walked into the garden to visit Adam and Eve. 

Genesis 3:8, KJV

"And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day..."

God can walk into your space also. As a matter of fact, henceforth, you'll begin to experience Him unusually. Don't buy into the lies that some sells and spreads saying, divinity doesn't come to unite with humanity. When the Holy Spirit visits you, that's exactly what'll happen. You'll suddenly be made strong and capable. You'll be then made ready for use and harnessed for your course. The testimony we have about Samson is that, "and the Spirit of God began to move him at the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol". You might ask, "to what end is this move?" To the end that he might be used to deliver Israel. That move is what he has never experienced before. But one day like that, he made the record that the Spirit of the Lord began to visit and move him at Dan. All began at the camp of Dan. That's the place where the Lord started with him from. That means Samson also has his own history. He just didn't fling to rising to become someone that put thousands to flight or one that reaps the testimony of "heaps upon heaps". No, he started very small. He started while a lad we might say. When the stirring began, he would suddenly experience a power feel, an excitement and a propelling surging him on. He'll suddenly feel powerful and enabled to do extraordinary things like lifting weights beyond his age or that his natural physical power can't bear. I know some of his mates could have seen him as a show master. Whenever any had anything to lift and it coincides with this Spirit stirring, they might have called on him to help out or he might have volunteered. At such times, he could run miles and not get tired. At such times, he could do the impossible and what boys of his age would call others to come and watch in utter amazement. During that stirring and propelling towards giving deliverance to Israel, he began by testing his anointing out and he found out he could do supernatural things. When the stirring is not there or the Spirit has not rested on him, he found out also he's as ordinary as any other man. All these are the truths concerning his life. Samson had a time in his life when the Lord just began with him; a time that his training and testing of his supernatural wings for flight just started. This is a call to parents to observe closely what interaction their children are having with life and spirits around them. Here's the Holy Spirit moving Samson. What spirit moves and motivates your own kids? A child went to visit an aunt and there he contacts pornography! Imagine that boy being initiated into the unfortunate for the very first time in his life. That's how some adults became who they are just by one wrong initiation in their youths. 

You know, Samon's life and beginning reminds me of Joseph. A lad probably of the same age when God began to visit him too. The Bible recorded this concerning Joseph. 

Genesis 37:2, KJV

"These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives..." 

This place affirms his being seventeen. That exactly was when God started with Joseph and started coming to him through the gift of revelation (dreams). 

Genesis 37:5, KJV

"And Joseph dreamed a dream..."

This dream Joseph had at the very beginning of his life would lead all the way to the greatness he'll have at the apogee of his life. Everything we talk of Joseph ever achieving have their roots in these his first dream(s). Same applies to Samson when the Lord declares His intention to walk with him and use him by first visiting him again and again for acquaintance with the kind of anointing He's giving him. 

Everything that Samson would call a miracle, wonder or the supernatural all started and had its firm roots at the stirring of the Spirit he received while at Dan. It all started there. Those were his humble days. Samson would go on to kill heaps upon heaps, tear a lion as a kid, carry the gate of a city, catch foxes and do the impossible with them etc. However, all these feats of Samson could be traced back to the beginning of it all - when God's Spirit began to visit him while at Dan. If we were to write or author the biography of Samson, it could have been, Samson: Peeping Into The Beginning Of Life Of A Man God Used. 

Nothing just springs up like that. There's always the first time when such man tastes of heaven's visitation and is initiated into an act or deed that he'll for all time move in. Your first time will come but you won't die there. You'll continue, continue like Elijah until you reach your own Horeb. You'll reach the height of it all. Though Samson died at day's end, yet the testimony is that he attains the peak of what he started and was known for during his days in Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol. He killed more Philistines all together at his death than what he did in all his lifetime put together (Judges 16:30). Elijah journeyed in the strength of the meal he was fed and journeyed in that strength (not to stop) but to arrive at Horeb (his destination) as set by God (I Kings 19:8). This is your testimony. You won't set early. You'll do this act you've been initiated into to arrive at Horeb. You won't say die so sudden. You won't cast in the towel that immediately. You'll fight all the difficulties and the challenges that litters the way of your calling until you make arrival. Arrival is sure and you shall arrive in Jesus' mighty name. And when you arrive, you'll tarry in glory and not suddenly be plucked down like Samson. Go in this thy might!

PRAYER: Lord, I go all the way to reach the climax of my calling and to tarry in my perfect day.

AND HE MANIFESTED FORTH HIS GLORY - My Very First Day Series 006

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".

When Jesus turns water to wine in Cana of Galilee, one thing summarizes that act He does. 

It is, "this He did and He manifested forth His glory..." The doing of a miracle here is interpreted as the manifesting forth of the glory of the Son of God.

There's a witness that a physical miracle registers about the vessel used of God for that miracle. It immediately triggers estimation of him and belief in Him. It immediately changes people's view of him. If you don't know, such man immediately is esteemed as a hero (though he must seek never to make himself one) and divinity clothed in human flesh. Though Paul and Barnabas refused worship after working a miracle at Lystra yet they were treated as gods, deified and venerated as same. 

Acts 14:11-12, KJV

"11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. 13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people."

Did you see that? Despite the fact that Paul and Barnabas had to stop them from that act, they yet still do it (Acts 14:18).

That place of consideration about Jesus says, "and He manifested forth His glory..." "What glory", we should ask? It's the almightiness of Jesus. The fact that what the Father does, He can as well do. The fact that He's not different from the Father in acts. The fact that the Son, Jesus Christ should be able to command our attention and suffice us. You know, Philip once asked that Jesus should show them the Father. Jesus told them that he who has seen Him has seen the Father (John 14:8-9). He Himself suffices and satisfies. He has a glory that is shed abroad and manifested forth whenever He does any act of wonder. It reveals Him as One to be worshipped and venerated. How great, big or of a mighty manifest He is then dawns on them all. We are struck by the fact that this is a superhuman (divinity) in the human flesh. Hallelujah!

Read what Message Version says. 

"11 This act in Cana of Galilee was the first sign Jesus gave, the first glimpse of his glory. And his disciples believed in him."

It says that reveals, "the first glimpse of His glory". It means the greatness of Jesus was seen and reackoned with immediately Jesus' disciples saw that miracle. If there was any argument afore then, it died after they saw that miracle. Moreso, while the Master of the Ceremony was praising the couple mistakenly (and not Jesus) for having reserved the best for the end, the Bible has this to say.

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."

While he (the ruler of the feast) does not know where the water turned wine was gotten from, yet the servants who drew the water that became the wine stand as witnesses (though in awe of Jesus who actually provided the wine). They also with the disciples have seen Jesus' greatness now. Jesus added nothing to the water turned wine. It was water that was turned to wine miraculously and not water that any additive or flavour was added to by following one man made procedure. So, Jesus not only manifested His glory or greatness forth in the sight of His disciples but the likes of these servants who knew for sure where the water turned wine came from. They can't but have been wrapped in awe as well (seeing His mightiness) and having known where they collected the water turned wine from. They are the best witnesses to the fact that what Jesus did was a miracle. Knowing no abracadabra was done by Jesus, they must have had cause to even believe in Jesus' glory or greatness more. I therefore pray for that minister that people lightly esteem now and sees nothing importance in or his ministry, God will answer you by giving off signs through you by which greatness of God will be manifested. When signs are thus given, perspective of men are changed or raised higher about you. It's a work God will do for you. He'll use it to fill all your valleys. So shall it be. 

PRAYER: Lord, answer with a miracle where I've been despised. Be permanently attracted to me in glory.

AND THEY BELIEVED ON HIM - My Very First Day Series 005

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".

Miracles are to a specific end. They are not done erratically, proving the minister is a superman amidst men. They are importantly for conversion. It may be from sin, Satan or even from doubt as the case of Jesus' disciples is. That place says, "this beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee and He manifested forth His glory and..."His disciples believed on Him."

It means prior to this time, though Jesus has made followers, they didn't believe or really believe on Him. Now, we have come to the nitty gritty of the matter. You have not yet made disciples until there's no doubt about your call and your position with God to them. If there remains one yearn of doubt, Satan will detach them and use them to tear your ministry down. A man is said to have made disciples when they're fully persuaded of Him and His ministry. Only God knows those who are this way persuaded of me and those who are near me but are still in doubt because they haven't seen what would strengthen their mountains in me. So, they're still looking for some sorts of physical manifestations. Some have seen this and known this of my ministry but others might still be seeking some other signs - like flying flyers of programmes everywhere every time. Irrespective of what sign you're waiting to see however before you can be converted, as long as it's not sinful, criminal or occultic, God can give it to win you. I've seen God does that for people before. He always seeks to win people over. He even converts Thomas the doubter (John 20:24-29).

But the Bible records concerning Jesus, "this beginning of His miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee and He manifested forth His glory..." This then is followed by the conversion of His disciples to believe on Him as that God sent. They therefore become ones who are ready to even rugged it out for Jesus. Peter therefore becomes a fellow who could cut off an ear for His Saviour (John 18:10). James and John also become those who could now seek to call fire on those who resist their Master (Lk.9:54). All these acts stem from having been first persuaded of Him. These men have been fully converted and persuaded of He that they have believed in and now follows. This is where God wants to bring many of you to. A place where no doubt has space in your mind; where you're totally given away and believe that person is who He says He is (just like God calls or reveals Him). 

Summarily, a physical miracle when wrought converts people. So, when they see Jesus does that, all doubt is cleared off. They see the supernatural side of Him other than Bible exposition and they believed. Miracles are to an intent. Even Jesus says unless these people see signs and wonders, they won't believe (John 4:48).  

Today, if you're there as a minister who has been waiting, hoping and thirsty of being ascended here, just raise your hands and receive this dimension. Whatsoever you turn will now turn. Water will begin to become wine in your hands and where needful, wine also will return to water. What you plant will be planted and whatsoever you pluck shall be plucked. You're given the mouth of Jeremiah the prophet and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Just pray for people and over situations and let people testify that when they tasted the water made wine, "it has become wine indeed" (John 2:8-10). No struggle. It's authority you're using. Go and manifest forth God's glory and turn people to believe in God, in you and your ministry. 

PRAYER: Lord, use me for the miraculous. My heart is right while I desire that people's impossible needs be met.

IN CANA OF GALILEE - My Very First Day Series 004

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".

If you enquire from my audience and congregation, they'll tell you that often as pastor writes or composes, you'll see him mark his writing with the date, start time of writing and ending it. I do this for so many reasons. 

However, there's one more thing I do but which I only document in my book of revelation and receiving. Whenever God speaks to me or an event that's critical happens to me, I always document it down with the date, time and place of event. 

If I should ever give you my book of revelation, you'd be surprised to see many receivings with their places of receivings, time and date. Thank God for recording. It helps a lot. At times, you yourself might forget or partially lose accuracy but thank God for the invention of documentation. It is aiding humanity in that regard. 

Why record where events take place? It's critical to the event itself. The turning of water into wine didn't happen in Gaza, Tyre or Sidon. No, it happens in Cana of Galilee. The place of mercy where this holily event occurs is at a wedding - a function that any might believe a miracle ought not to be wrought. However, God chose that place for that very first miracle. For your witness to be complete and thorough, "where" must be settled. Many times when I write or speak, I usually mention specific places critical to my journey and the description I'm giving. That's to prove the worth of those events I'm narrating. If I were lying, somebody who was there at that time could confront and reveal same as a lie since they were co-witnesses. The Bible says, "this is the beginning of His miracles which He did in Cana of Galilee..."

There's always a place where people take off from. There's a place that each of us can reference in our journeys as the very beginning and start of the greatness people see us with today. For Samson, his day, experience and greatness began here. 

Judges 13:25, KJV

"And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol".

I pray for you that God will begin with you. May He rightly locate you where you are or where He might transplant you. You'll be where the atmosphere is right and the people are expectant. You'll be where the people are eager to hear. If not, you'll reap the testimony of Jesus that "and He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief" (Matt.13:54-58). You'll therefore be restrained by such unbelief and lack of acceptance in a place. However, may rightful location not suffer you. The Bible says, "he's like a tree planted by streams of water..." "By streams of water" speaks of a location or a place that aids such tree planted by the water stream. May you therefore be where your audience pines after your deliveries; where the ground is ready for the word to be sown; where rejection and unbelief are far from you. Yes, Jesus' audience pines to see His miracles in Cana of Galilee. First Jesus' mum, Mary motivated Jesus to doing something to their lack of wine. May you not lack encouragers and those who'll stir you to do the miraculous in this life. May you have the support of men just as you have of God. May you hear, "go, go" until you meet needs as sent by destiny. Apart from this, Mary told the servants standing to do whatsoever Jesus commands. All of them are therefore in expectation and anticipation of what Jesus would do. They had already received His ministry in their minds. This acceptance communicates a sense of being wanted and indeed this demand they placed on Jesus leads to the birthing of the first of His (public) miracle in Cana of Galilee. Look, may God give you people who will call things out of you. May you not have a congregation and a people that are as dead as the grave. May you rather have those who are waiting for what you'll tell them that they might obey. That's the atmosphere of miracles. You also as a minister will be able to see God in different dimensions and graciousness you've never known or seen Him before. Mary's word of trust in the capability of Jesus and the waiting of the servants on Him is therefore the first trigger for this Cana of Galilee miracle.

To God's glory, the recipient and holder of this first miracle of Jesus is Cana of Galilee. It happened no where else except in Cana of Galilee. Immediately, that place became popular. Some of you would start from somewhere. That place would be your Cana of Galilee. It's there you'll launch from and if you ever tell your story, you'd referenced it. There's always the place. It's always a specific place. There's always a place that beckons you to come to start in it. Others like Jesus' hometown would just be stiff and tightly closed to you but your Cana of Galilee will want you to turn water to wine. They'll instruct themselves concerning you that whatsoever you command should be done. They'll just be self taught. Herein, you know that you're at your Rehoboth where the right season meets with opportunities. I pray for you, you'll locate where you can start that company that would become a world phenomenon from. What will go round or does go round eventually started somewhere. There is always a place and may your place (when situated) not hinder you. May it not be a place that will murder your dreams, clip your wings and tie your feet. 

PRAYER: Lord, keep my feet, sight and desires from places where the works of my hands won't be floral. Rather, set my eyes like a flint rock, direct my path to the place where men would ask of me a miracle (in what I can do and delight doing).
