[Devotional] IN HIS PRESENCE: God has saved the best for the last

Read: John 2:1-11

Meditation verse:

“A host always serves the best wine first,” he said. “Then, when everyone has  had a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive wine. But you have kept the  best until now!” (John 2:10, NLT).

There was a wedding celebration in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,  and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration. Whilst the  celebration was still ongoing, the wine supply ran out. The problem was  presented to Jesus. Initially Jesus said His time had not yet come but eventually  He turned six pots of water into the sweetest wine anyone had ever tasted. The  master of the feast upon tasting the wine said to the bridegroom, “everyone  sets out the good wine at the beginning of the feast, but you have kept the best  wine until now.  

Today’s message is a prophetic word for you today. Jesus Christ, the Chief  Bridegroom and Master planner of your life has kept the best part of this year  until now. Wherever you have experienced lack, setbacks, emptiness,  frustrations, and loss this year, set out your six empty waterpots of stone  because the tides are about to be turned in your favour. If you have invited Him  into your life, just as He was invited to the wedding celebration, He will fill your  emptiness and lack with sweet wine. Psalm 65:11-13 says, “You crown the year  with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance. They drop on the  pastures of the wilderness, and the little hills rejoice on every side. The pastures  are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered with grain; they shout for  joy, they also sing”. 

Do not cast away your confidence. Everything will be alright in the end, if it is  not alright now then it is not the end. God is saying ‘do not put a fool stop to  what I put a comma’. This month and indeed the year will end on a high note for  you. “The end of a thing is better than its beginning; the patient in spirit is better  than the proud in spirit. Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests  in the bosom of fools. Do not say, ‘Why were the former days better than these?’  For you do not inquire wisely concerning this” (Ecclesiastes 7:8-10). So, wait until  the end.
