*Obedience to principles*
Lets talk based on the narrative in John 2:1-11, particularly Mary’s instruction in verse 5 "Whatever He tells you, do it", obedience to principles is illustrated as the key to unlocking divine miracles and transforming ordinary situations into extraordinary ones.
Isaiah 1:19
[19]If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;
Many people are not in lack because of the devil but people want to benefit without applying principals. Life works by principles
KEYS TO APPLY OBEDIENCE
Prompt and Complete Obedience: The servants were told to fill the waterpots with water, and they "filled them up to the brim" (John 2:7). Partial obedience does not work or half-hearted, but complete, even when the instructions seem mundane or illogical.
Obedience Overrides Reason: The servants did not question why they were filling pots with water when wine was needed. They obeyed, and it was in this, that the miracle of transformation occurred.
Faithful Action Triggers Miracles: The miracle did not happen until the servants acted on the instruction. The transformation of water into wine is a metaphor for the change Jesus brings, showing that when we align our actions with God's word, we experience his power.
Obedience to "Whatever" He Says: Mary's advice in verse 5 serves as a lasting principle: trust in Jesus implies obeying His directions completely, whether they are direct commands, biblical principles, or promptings in your spirit.
Small Steps, Big Results: The servants took the simple, "minor" action of filling jars, which led to a "major" miracle. Obedience in small things positions us to experience larger divine provisions.
Do yourself a favor and start to OBEY instruction and principles.
Bless you as you apply yourself and reap the results.
