AT THE WEDDING IN CANA OF GALILEE, GOD TURNED H2O (WATER) INTO C6H12O6 (GLUCOSE-BASED WINE) BY MULTIPLYING H2O BY 6, AND THEN ADDED THE CARBON, C6..HE MULTIPLIED WHAT THEY HAD AND ADDED WHAT THEY LACKED
CONTINUALLY LOOKING UP TO GOD IS THE SECRET OF THRIVING IN ALL SEASONS
IT'S A GREAT MISTAKE TO REDUCE YOUR COVENANT PRACTICE WHEN TIMES ARE BAD.
THE BEST TIME TO PRACTICE THE COVENANT IS WHEN IT IS DIFFICULT TO PRACTICE IT
TO BE OUT OF THE COVENANT IS TO BE OUT OF THE COVERING AGAINST THE ADVERSE CLIMATES OF LIFE
DIVINE DIRECTION WOULD ALWAYS PROVOKE DIVINE PROVISION
WHEN THINGS ARE DRYING UP AROUND YOU, NEVER ALLOW YOUR JOY TO DRY. OTHERWISE, WHEN THE JOY DRIES, EVERYTHING DRIES UP COMPLETELY
GRATITUDE IS A BREAKER OF HARD GROUNDS IN TIMES OF ADVERSITY
Our second example, of course you know the transformation of water to wine in the wedding of Cana of Galilee. That was a multiplication miracle. Some may not understand but it was a multiplication miracle. In John 2:5-11, we saw how they needed wine, long story made short, they brought the water and the water turned to wine. Church Gist. I told you the chemistry before, water is H2O and wine, if it is glucose based is C6H12O6, that is the chemical formula of anything that is sweet and glucose based. So, He turned H2O into C6H12O6. You can see H2O inside this C6H12O6, just that you multiply it by 6. If you multiply H2O by 6, it gives you H12O6 and then the C6. Church Gist. So, He multiplied what they had and added what they lacked. He multiplied the water and added the carbon. That was the miracle that happened there. It was a multiplication plus addition miracle. That is how God functions; He will multiply what you have and add what you lack. Church Gist. Everytime. If you have it, He multiplies it, if you lack it, He adds it.
- that is a multiplication miracle and what I'm saying right now shall be fulfilled in accuracy in the life of somebody in this season! In our nation, God is about to multiply the good things we have and add the good things we lack! In your personal life and family, God is about to multiply the good things you have and add the good things that you lack!
- lift your hands and say, "I serve the God of supernatural multiplication. He's about to multiply something in my life!"
How do we experience supernatural supplies in times of uncertainty, adversity, scarcity and austerity?
1. Continually look up to God. Maintain confidence in God continually in adverse times. Jeremiah 17:5-8. Psalm 34:5. Listen, continually looking up to God is the secret of thriving in all seasons. Continually looking up to God is the secret of thriving instead of drying up, in all seasons.
2. Active covenant practice. Genesis 8:22. Adversity and scarcity, not withstanding. Laws are laws under all circumstances. 2+2 is 4 in rainy season and dry season. 2+2 is 4 in English language, 2+2 is 4 in urhobo language. Language does not change it, season does not change; principles are principles under all conditions; laws are laws under all circumstances.there are people who reduce their covenant practice, maybe because times are bad. There's a great mistake. The best time to practice the covenant is when it is difficult to practice it. That was what Elijah taught the widow of Zarephath; "I am about to eat the last meal and die", he said, "no, no. Don't eat it and die. Release out of what you want to eat and die and you will realize that you can't die because you released it".. Please note that the covenant is a covering against the adverse climates of life. So, to be out of the covenant is to be out of the covering. When times are hard, when situations are tough and you say, "I cannot do the things that I normally do anymore. I can't put God first in my resources anymore. I cannot do my practice of givings anymore". When you're out of the covenant, you're out of the coverings of the covenant.. It's a covering against the adverse climates of life. Active covenant practice is key to thriving in adverse times. Evidence is superior to argument, we are talking of what we have proved for 30-something years now.
3. Connection to Divine direction in adverse times. "What is God saying to me? What should I do?" Divine direction, especially in adversity is key to Divine provision. That is, God speaking to you, guiding you, what to do, steps to take, moves to make, where to invest and divest. Divine direction, 'This is where to put the money, this is where to pull out the money from', in adverse times. 1 Kings 17:13-17. 1 Kings 17:3-6. Divine direction would always provoke Divine provision.
The voice of God can bring you provision and preservation.. The voice of God can rescue from premature termination of life.
4. Maintaining the attitude of gratitude and praise in times of adversity. Everytime joy dries up, everything dries up. Joel 1:11-12. When things are drying up around you, never allow your joy to dry. Otherwise, when the joy dries, everything dries up completely. In John 6:11-12, when Jesus had 5 loaves and 2 fishes, He irrigated it with thanks and praise and it multiplied. Out of 5 loaves and 2 fishes, food for 5,000 men besides women and children was made available until 5 baskets were filled. Listen, gratitude is a breaker of hard grounds in times of adversity. It breaks hard grounds. The Scripture talks about, "The breaker has come and they have broken through", one of those breakers is gratitude, appreciations and praise. When things are hard and difficult and you're still able to praise God, then you're set to break grounds and to step into your destiny.
