THE BEST FOR THE LAST
“This, the first of His signs (miracles, wonder-works), Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory [by it He displayed His greatness and His power openly], and His disciples believed in Him [adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Him]” (Jn 2:11; AMP)

How did Jesus perform this miracle? Let’s see what He did not do: He did not touch the water; He did not fill the pots Himself; He did not pray or prophesy over the water.
What was the method Jesus used to perform this mysterious miracle?
Simply said, Jesus changed the water into wine by the power of His will. He just wanted it to happen. God can do anything He wants. All power belongs to God (Ps 62:11). This is very important to believe that God, who is the creator, is able to will anything into existence.
We need to believe that Jesus is God and He can perform any miracle just by willing it to happen. A good example is the healing story of a leprous man who had the revelation of the power of God’s will (Mt 8:1-5). Jesus said: ‘I am willing! Be clean!’ This is how the miracle happened and the man was healed!
Another example of the power of the will of Jesus is found in His high priestly prayer. He said this to God:
‘Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am and to see My glory!’ (Jn 17:24)
In other words, we shall go to heaven and we shall worship the King of Glory forever just because Jesus wants it! This is His desire! That desire is enough! And the Father granted it!

The miracle at Cana was ‘the beginning of His miracles…He thus revealed His glory and His disciples put their faith in Him’. In Greek, the word miracle is also the word for ‘sign’. The definition of ‘a sign’ is something that points away from itself to something else. When you see a sign, you don’t just stop there; you look ahead to your destination. In other words, Jesus does miracles as a sign to point our attention to His person, His glory, His power and His will to bless all who believe in Him!

Finally…Mary was one of the few people at the foot of the Cross, staying with Jesus until He died. She was also among the brethren who waited for the Holy Spirit in prayer. This is a wonderful testimony about Mary, the mother of Jesus! Her prophetic prayer was answered and for the past two thousand years, ‘all generations have called her blessed!’
There is no better way to end it than with Mary’s wonderful words:
“God has been mindful of the humble estate of His servant…for the Mighty One has done great things for me! Holy is His name! His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation!” (Lk 1:48-50)

In Christ I declare:
My future is better than my past!
I am a sign post pointing to Jesus!
My testimony as a servant of God shall increase!
As I humble myself, God shall grant me His favor!
I fear and I worship God!
God’s mercy is on my family!
God has done great things for me and my family!
I am blessed!
In Jesus name
Amen!
