Prolific You

John Chapter 2

⁵ His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”

If you knew you would do not fail what would you do?

Mary, the mother of Jesus knew who her son was since angel Gabriel met her the night her baby was conceived.

Can you imagine where you would be if your parents or in this case your mother encouraged the dreams in you because she knew of the dreams within you? I am not suggesting our mothers are anything less but in right of the belief and the knowledge Mary had, she knew what her son was capable of. Why her confidence was resounding: “Whatever He says just do it!”

¹⁷ Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten^[a] Me up.”^[

Your zeal will cause you to turn the world upside down… What inventions, products or services or problems would you be solving if you were to go all out zealously like Jesus did?

Passion cannot be hid! It’s either you have it or your don’t.  And when you do on a particular issue or towards a particular value/person, and it (zeal) cannot be quenched.  It’s like fire, it catches on and gives fuel and energy to keep on keeping on while inviting  other to it’s cause.  Jesus demonstrated this clearly reflecting His commitment and values to the things of the Kingdom. Why He could not just stand to see people dinegrate the temple.  He had to do something. I wonder what is waiting for you and I to face in order to put things in order in the world?

²⁴ But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, ²⁵ and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.

Commitment Issues: We all fave them. They say beliefs dictates values and values conduct and conduct match our calendar: essence how we spend our most valuable commodity TIME.

TD Jakes, “to the degree one gives himself to medicine is to that degrees he becomes a Doctor.” The same is true for faith or every other issue in life. Hence we each must prioritize our values and walk in our truth.

“The scriptures tells us that Jesus didn’t commit to them because He knew man.” Meaning we men/human being have a tendency to follow another because of what we can get from them etc. Jesus being Omniscient knew the crowd’s heart.  In fact, he had just dealt with their greed and love of commerce a few verse before when He kicked them out of the temple. Too, we are told that “they believed because they saw the miracles” aka we believe after we’ve seen with our eyes and that is Not satisfactory because it runs the danger of shallow commitment and Jesus will not have any of that.

To the degree I am committed to Him and pursue Him with a clear head and focus is to the degrees I’ll enjoy great intimacy and revelation of HIM, and all the other additions He promises. Why, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and al its righteousness and all other things shall be added to you.” ought to be our anthem in heart, mind and action. At least that what I desire… only He knows if am there or not.

What did you take away from the study? Remain blessed!

In His Love,
