It is foolishness but faith is obeying God even though I don\u2019t understand it. Faith is giving even when I don\u2019t have it. God says give this mount, and you say, \u201cLord, I don\u2019t even have it\u201d. Faith is giving what you don\u2019t have. Faith is persisting when I don\u2019t feel like it. How can a leper go to the priest? But as they obeyed Jesus, as they moved, the Bible says they were healed. I tell people that they don\u2019t have a money <!--more-->problem. People have an obedience problem. If you think you don\u2019t have money, it is an obedience problem. On your way to obeying God, God would always meet you. But He will not meet you before you obey. A lot of people say. \u201cGod do this then I will do this\u201d. God says, \u201cNo, do this as though I have done it\u201d. \u201cWrite the cheque as though I have done it\u201d. \u201cMake the move as though I have done it\u201d. \u201cBuy the baby things as though I have done it\u201d. It doesn\u2019t make sense. Jesus is used to doing these kinds of things. It sounds like I am reporting Him to you right? I actually am not, rather it is important that you know that God <em>ways<\/em><em> are far beyond anything you could imagine<\/em>. That is why in Cana of galilee Jesus\u2019 mother put pressure on Him to provide more wine. What did Jesus say? Go and fill the jars with water, then take the water to the chairman to taste. The servants put water in the jar, they knew it was water, and they took it to the chairman. Does that make sense? But as they were going the water changed to wine. Just move in obedience to God. Don\u2019t sit there and say \u201cLord change it to wine then I will take it\u201d.\u00a0 As you move, that water will become wine. He does it time and time again. So what is that thing that you are asking God for today? The Bible says \u2018<em>let the weak say I am strong<\/em>\u2019. Does that make sense? \u2018<em>Let the poor say I am rich\u2019<\/em>. That doesn\u2019t make sense either. On the other hand, what is the thing that Jesus has told you to do? Instead of you to just say, \u201cYes Sir\u201d and going to do it, you are saying \u201cYes Sir, but turn this water to wine first then I will go and do it\u201d. The miracle happens when you take the steps in obedience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Prayer<\/strong> [hymn]: When we walk with the Lord.\u00a0In the light of His Word,\u2028What a glory He sheds on our way; While we do His good will,\u00a0He abides with us still,\u2028And with all who will trust and obey.
