Yesterday's sermon was on obeying the words of Jesus. It's not only about obeying but doing them in faith. By obeying and doing what's been instructed by Jesus, miracles will take place.....
Many times in the Bibles miracles happened when people obeyed Jesus' instruction. The most obvious instance was the story of the weeding at Cana. At that time Jesus was unknown. Even He himself said "My time is not yet come". But when Mary, Jesus' mother told the servants to do whatever Jesus instructed them to do, they just did it. The servants didn't have any idea when Jesus instructed them to fill the jars with water. If I were the servants, I might have been confused because the host was running out of wine not water. But Jesus asked them to take water! Yet the did as told..they obeyed Him. Even when Jesus instructed them to serve the water, they did just that. What do you think in the mind of the servants when they serve the water? The master of the house was expecting wine not water yet the servants knew they were serving water. What happened after that was a total miracle. That miracle would not happen if the servants did not fill the jars with water, if they did not serve the water...it happened because they obeyed Jesus' instruction.
When Jesus asked Peter and Andreas to cast their net to the particular side of their boat, and they obeyed, they caught plenty of fish...when Jesus asked His disciples to tell the multitude of 5000 men to sit down and feed them with only five loaves and two fishes, they did it. They knew that all they have were five loaves and two fishes and the knew that it will not suffice for the huge multitude but they obeyed Jesus and did what have been instructed. Things that followed were miracles...
When the angel told Mary and Mary Magdelene to go to Galilee and they will meet Jesus there, they went and not long before they saw Jesus.
Obey Jesus and do what he are instructed in faith and miracles will happen in our life.
