What if the miracles you’re waiting for are waiting for you to act? What if God’s plan for your transformation requires your faith, obedience, and action? This isn’t just a theoretical question—it’s the heart of Pastor Jermone Glenn’s message, Mastering Your Time, Talent, & Treasure, from the YOU GOT THIS! Series. His powerful teaching on the first miracle of Jesus—turning water into wine—offers profound insights into how we can move from the ordinary to the extraordinary by aligning our faith with action.
Let’s explore how his message inspires us to follow God’s instructions, use what we already have, and trust Him to perform the miraculous.
Lessons from Water to Wine
The story of Jesus turning water into wine is more than a historical account. It’s a roadmap for personal and spiritual transformation. Here are the key lessons we can draw from this miraculous moment, enriched by Pastor Glenn’s insights:
1. It’s Your Time and Your Turn
Jesus initially hesitated when His mother pointed out the lack of wine at the wedding, saying, “My hour has not yet come.” Yet, her faith nudged Him into action. Pastor Glenn emphasized, “You know it’s your time when a need is created that you were born to solve.”
When we step into our purpose, God’s timing aligns with our obedience. Sometimes, the moment we’ve been waiting for is activated by recognizing that we are the solution to the problem at hand.
Ask Yourself:
What need in your life is calling you to act? Is it time to embrace the gifts God has given you?
2. Do What He Tells You to Do
When Jesus instructed the servants to fill the jars with water, it didn’t make immediate sense. Yet, their obedience led to the miracle. Pastor Glenn reminds us, “Scriptures are strategies. When God gives you instructions, He’s giving you a blueprint to unlock the miraculous.”
Obedience often requires taking steps of faith, even when the outcome isn’t clear. Glenn asked a poignant question: “Can you obey a crazy instruction?”
Key Takeaway:
Faith and obedience are the currencies of the Kingdom. Sometimes, God’s strategy doesn’t make sense to us—but it always makes miracles.
3. Use What You’ve Got
Jesus didn’t summon new resources; He used the six stone jars that were already there. Pastor Glenn said, “God never leaves us with nothing. It’s not just about having something; it’s about having wisdom, insight, and understanding on what to do with what you have.”
Whether it’s a skill, a resource, or a small opportunity, God can transform it into something greater when we surrender it to Him. Glenn urged listeners to “take something empty, fill it, and then serve it,” explaining that the miracle of transformation happens in the act of serving.
Challenge:
What’s in your hand right now that God can use? Start where you are, with what you have.
Faith in Action
One of the most profound points Pastor Glenn shared was this: “The manifestation of the miracle happens while you’re doing what He told you to do.” The water turned to wine after the servants obeyed and began to serve it. Transformation didn’t happen beforehand, but in the process of their faith-filled action.
What about you? Are you waiting for everything to fall into place before you act, or are you ready to step out in faith, trusting that God will move as you do?
A Fresh Perspective
This isn’t just about turning water into wine; it’s about understanding that God’s ways often defy human logic. Glenn emphasized, “God didn’t just redeem it; He re-gene-d it!” God changes us from the inside out, creating lasting transformation.
Call to Action
What’s your next step? What jar do you need to fill? Pastor Glenn declared, “The Kingdom of God is a displacement force—it replaces what is with something better.” Trust God’s timing, follow His instructions, and believe that He has saved the best for now.
Remember, you’ve got this!
