MESSAGE FROM THE MARRIAGE AT CANA

Bible Texts: Jn.2:1-11, Gen.21:1-2, Deut.28:1, Jn.14:16, Is.1:19, Jn.15:5, Jn.16:33, Job.34:29, 3Jn.1:2, Ecc.9:11, 2Cor.5:17, Philp.2:13, Gal.4:19

As the husbandman, how about you inviting the President of your country or the governor of your state to your marriage or birthday or any other celebrations and they honour your invitation. I am very sure, it will not just be a special moment for you, it will also remain evergreen in your heart.

Now, think about giving a special invitation to Jesus Christ to be your special guest in your life and in your leadership role as the husbandman and imagine what great and positive difference that will make in your life as the man, husband and father. That was exactly what happened in the marriage at Cana.

And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee and the mother of Jesus was there. And both Jesus was called and his disciples to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, they have no wine….His mother saith unto the servants, whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. …..Jesus saith unto them, fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them draw out now and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler had tasted the water that was made wine……the governor called the bridegroom. 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 (Jn.2:1-11)

Jesus Christ was invited to the wedding ceremony. He honoured the invitation by attending. Unfortunately, the wine got finished and the servants came to His mother to inform her that they had no wine. She directed them to meet Jesus Christ for solution. And when they met with Jesus, He gave them certain instructions. They obeyed the instructions and the result was that the bridegroom was saved from embarrassment, there was enough tastier wine and the wedding was successful.

What is the message from the marriage at cana to me?

God wants you to invite Jesus Christ into your life, home and in your roles as the good and godly husbandman because He wants you to succeed in your responsibilities as the man, husband and father. When you invite Jesus Christ into your life, He teaches, instructs and guides you in the way you should go, how and when you should go about it.

But why do I need to invite Jesus Christ as I lead my family as the husbandman?

John Gospel chapter 15 and verse 5 clearly gives the answer.

Without me you can do nothing (Jn.15:5)

Without the help of God through His Son, Jesus Christ, you will not be able to balance your life and be a success as the good and godly man, husband and father. But with His help, you can combine your responsibilities as the man, husband and father and become the good and godly husbandman.

When you invite Jesus Christ into your life, you must be willing to obey all His instructions as revealed in the Bible for you as the man, husband and father. It is your obedience to the word of God that empowers you to be able to execute your covenant mandate and calling as the good and godly husbandman.

Wouldn’t you want to invite Jesus Christ into your boat today? Wouldn’t you want to invite Jesus Christ into your life to lead you and help? Please, invite Him and you will not regret His influence in your life as the husbandman.

Hallelujah!
