THE SECRET TO FRESH ENCOUNTER.

Topic: THE SECRET TO FRESH ENCOUNTER.

Text: John 2:1-11

Perhaps, the going has been good, things working to plan, business booming, recording all round success, but it can be merrier and fresh with just an encounter with Jesus.

Where things have never worked or has ceased working, and at the verge of packing up, an encounter with Jesus would also change the whole situation and make every fresh again.

Jesus' mother exposed the secret to this fresh encounter with Master Jesus. The officials at the wedding got it, carried it out carefully and they experienced something new, which the Governor confirmed.

You could imagine the level of preparation for that kind of event where the Governor and even master Jesus were invited. The whole thing was going well until the vine finished, I bet you don't want to imagine the frustration of failure at the verge of breakthrough. The secret they got and followed to the letter was their saving grace, the event took a new shape and became the talk of town.

Peter also got similar instruction, though it didn't seem normal what Jesus asked him to do, but he obeyed afterall, and boom, he experienced something new. In John 21:6, Jesus told him to cast the net on the right of the ship; meaning he did it on the wrong side before. 

Brethren, we need Jesus to lead us in the best pathway for our lives, we need to be inspired to know what to do, where and how to go about it, that we would not be applying positive energy on a negative venture or vice versa. 

If only we can do whatever He says as Mary advised the officials at the wedding, everything will become new and fresh again. Obedience is better than sacrifice, 1 Sam 15:22. 

Shalom!
