WAY OUT OF EMBARRASSMENT
Memorise: And I will bring
the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have
not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.
These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. Isaiah 42:16
Read: John 2:1-11
, 2 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
, 2 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when
they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus
saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 His
mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there
were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the
Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus
saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the
brim.
8 And he
saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And
they bare it.
9 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,
10 And saith
unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men
have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine
until now.
11 This
beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his
glory; and his disciples believed on him.

MESSAGE!
Jesus Christ declared to His disciples that He is the way, the Truth and
the Life (John 14:6). As the Way, He is the exit
from that very evil location you may find yourself. He is the Way out of
sickness and also the Way out of death. If you are facing any situation
pertaining to death, He is the Way out. In Acts 9:36-42,
Dorcas died and the widows mourned her because of her good works which had been
a blessing to them. She was the visible hand of God that the widows could
relate with. So when Peter arrived, they began to make a case for her to live.
Do you know that when some believers die, almost everyone who knew them would
prefer that they were left dead, because they made no meaningful impact? If you
were called home to be with the Lord today, how many people would want you to
be restored to life? Can your works speak for you like those of Dorcas? When
Peter heard of her works, he commanded Dorcas to come back to life in the Name
of Jesus. She lived to continue her ministry to the widows. You too can command
the dead to rise in the Name of Jesus and life shall be restored back to them,
if only you have faith in Jesus and you are a part of Him.
Moreover, Jesus is the Way out of embarrassment. In today’s Bible
reading, while a wedding celebration was going on in Cana of Galilee ,
the wine finished. How embarrassing! It was possible the guest they had were
far more than what they had prepared for. Some of their guests who had not been
served were seated and expecting to be served. If they were to arrange for more
wine, it would have cost them a lot in time, money and logistics. While they
bothered about what to do and confusion was beginning to set in, Mary got wind
of what was going on and informed Jesus about it. Pre-empting Him, she
instructed the servants at that feast to wait on the Lord. At the nick of time,
the Lord turned the water available into the wine they lacked. Everyone who
took of that wine confessed that they had never taken a better wine in all
their lives. The Lord not only saved the day, but also turned an embarrassing
situation into a most special moment for all and sundry. Imagine the joy of the
couple and that of their families! Are you facing any form of embarrassment?
Take it to the Lord in prayer and have faith in His ability to intervene, and
He will make a way for you.
Action Point
Intercede for every
believer facing an embarrassing situation around you, that they will receive
God’s way out now.
