God Can Accelerate His Plans

“You have kept the good wine until now! – John 2:10 NKJV

Yeshua’s first miracle was turning water into wine at a wedding reception there were six water pots each capable of holding thirty gallons. First, He said, “Fill those pots with water”.  Next He said, :Take some out and bring it to the host of the party.” When the host tasted it he told the groom, “This is amazing. Everyone serves the best wine first, and after people have had a lot to drink, they bring out the less expensive wine. But you have saved the best wine for last”(V.7-10).

Do you know how long it takes to make wine? It begins with planting seeds, then takes several years for the vines to grow mature grapes. Then they have to be pick ed and processed to produce the wine. It often takes three to five years before the first wine is ready to be bottled. The better quality wine takes five to seven years to make. And people consider the best wine to be twenty to thirty years old. Yeshuah produced in a moment in time what normally takes decades to produce.

So, if you're concerned that you don't have enough time to achieve your goals, remember that Yeshua can do in a moment what might usually takes years. Maybe it would typically take you twenty years to pay off your mortgage, or ten years to build your business. But God's favor can thrust you years down the road. He still turns water into wine. Be encouraged, the God we serve knows how to accelerate natural laws. He can take you further, quicker than you can ever imagine.

Enjoy the Fruit of Your Labor

“How joyful are those who fear the Lord - all who follow His ways!

You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How joyful and prosperous you will be!” - Psalm 128:1-2

The values outlined in God’s Word include love, service, honesty, integrity, self-sacrifice, and prayer. These help to set a good relationship. Reading and obeying God’s Word together is a good place to start your relationship moving in the right direction.

Faith and patience are like two faithful companions on the journey of every believer. Growing these qualities is essential for anyone striving towards spiritual maturity. They embody the essence of a person who reveres the Lord and seeks to follow His path.

A true respect for our Almighty God, paired with a willingness to listen and obey His voice, leads to a rich harvest of spiritual fruit and blessings. Blessed is the person who fears the Lord, and even more so is the one who follows His ways.

The fleeting rewards of this world may glimmer for a moment, captivating our senses before fading away into emptiness. In contrast, the eternal blessings that come from God are cultivated through quiet, spiritual growth in our new life in Christ. They represent the flourishing of the cherished fruits of the Spirit, sparkling like jewels in the crown of our heavenly King.

While the path of faith may not always be straightforward, the fear of the Lord lays the foundation for true wisdom. Those who walk in His ways become abundantly blessed, receiving a multitude of gifts that extend beyond this life into eternity.

Praise the Lord! Many blessings are available to us- joy, honor, prosperity, security, freedom, from fear (psalm 112:1) when we fear the Lord and delight in obeying His commands. To fear God means to revere, to respect  and to stand in awe of His greatness and goodness. If you desire God’s blessings, you must revere Him and gladly obey Him.

Fulfillment through Perseverance

“If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully keep all His commands that I am giving you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the world. You will experience all these blessings if you obey the Lord your God: Your towns and your fields will be blessed. Your children and your crops will be blessed. The offspring of your herds and flocks will be blessed” - Deuteronomy 28:1-4

Even if you don’t see the rewards ahead of you, be content with your life and calling. God said in 1 Timothy 6;” Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth”. This is the key to spiritual growth and personal fulfillment. We should honor God and center our desires on Him and we should be content with what He is doing in our lives. (Philippians 4:11). Paul is showing the vast difference between true 'spiritual' wealth and a false 'worldly' wealth. The world's view of great gain is connected with money, material possessions, power, and prestige, whilst godliness with contentment is considered as great gain by the Apostle .Godliness, combined with an inner contentment which is rooted in the sufficiency of Yeshua to provide all that is needed, according to His riches in glory, surpasses anything that this world can provide.

But like the Philippians Christians, it is also good to be prompted by the Holy Spirit to give support to our brothers and sisters who may be facing hardships or other types of difficulties - and to thank others and God if others are prompted to give aid to us. We are not only to give freely of our time, our finances and other offerings but we are to give our gift cheerfully and joyfully as unto the Lord, knowing that it was for our sake that Yeshua was sent into the world by our heavenly Father to be the propitiation for our sins, so that by faith in Him we might have life everlasting.

Persevere! It is only through faithful obedience to God, you will receive the blessing you need. God’s blessing is all you need. God gifted us with joy and fulfillment as we persevere with a precious, loyal heart brimming with love. Nothing can defeat you.

“I will call a swift bird of prey from the east a leader from a distant land to come and do my bidding. I have said what I would do, and I will do it” (Isaiah 46:11).

God could not be more clear in the bible verses- He will do what He says. Israel was tempted to waver between the Lord and pagan gods. Isaiah affirmed the sole lordship of God. God is unique in His knowledge and His control of the future. His consistent purpose is to carry out what he has planned. When we are tempted to pursue promises of pleasure, comfort, peace or security apart from God, we will miss out on His perfect plan for us both now and for eternity.
