The Online KPPI (Praise and Divine Healing Service) was held again on Monday, July 13, 2020 through the Live Streaming program on Facebook and You Tube.
The Word of God was delivered by Rev. Jacob B. Sumbayak, taken from John 2: 1-11 about a marriage in Cana.
Jesus has the Power to Change Water into Wine
At that time Jesus and His disciples were at a wedding party in Cana in Galilee. The custom at that time was to serve good wine at the beginning of the party after that to serve less better wine. When they ran out of wine, Jesus’ mother asked Him to work a miracle, and He changed the water into wine. The party leader was so surprised because the wine was of good quality from the beginning to the end.
It was Jesus’ first miracle, which changed water into wine, with good quality wine. One water pot contain two or three jars, or about 100 litres, then 6 waterpots contains approximately 600 litres of wine, that was not a small amount.
Mary, the mother of Jesus was the one who asked Jesus to perform miracles. Mary believed that Jesus could do it. Mary knows who Jesus is, the birth of Jesus alone was full of miracles. Mary remembered that being a virgin she conceived from the Holy Spirit and gave birth to a son, Jesus Christ. Mary knew exactly that what she had given birth was not just an ordinary baby, butt the One that had been promised by God. Jesus is a covenant for the nations. That was why Mary really believed in Jesus.
Indeed Jesus performed miracles when the water in all the water pots was changed into wine. Because Jesus is truly God Himself who came down from Heaven to become a human being. He lived as a human in Joseph’s family. And after Jesus entered His ministry, Mary knew who Jesus was and asked Him to do a miracle.
Jesus, the Messiah, Promised by God to Redeem Man’s Sin
God had promised to give the Saviour and fulfilled it through the birth of Jesus. Jesus is the Savior who could redeem the sins of His people. Jesus is God himself who was willing to die and redeemed the sins of men. Jesus knows that we cannot pay the debt of our sins.
We may struggle to be able to pay the debt of our sins. Can we pay the debt for our sins? In fact, our sins keep on increasing by doing things that are not according to God’s will. God knows that no one can pay the debt for his sins. It is necessary for God Himself to come down to earth to save us and redeem our sins. He is Jesus. How great is God’s love for us, how great is God’s desire to save us.
Will you believe in Jesus? Will you stop from this weariness in your life? You may struggle to survive in your life. You have the desire to be able to do good but always end up doing bad things. But the Word of God says whoever believes in the redemption work of Jesus then their sins will be redeemed, will be paid for and saved.
As if we had debts of hundreds of billions or hundreds of trillions, even we didn’t have a penny to pay it but there were people who were willing to pay all our debts.
Any body wants to have their sins forgiven? Anybody wants to have salvation and eternity and to have a guarantee that if you die you will enter the kingdom of heaven? Today there is an opportunity. Do not delay. Take the decision to believe in Jesus, then God will enter into your heart. He will change your life and you will get His peace.
The Word of God says in John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.
Not only living in the world given to us, but an eternal life forever with the Father in heaven. We must believe that our sins are forgiven and if we die now we believe that Jesus will give us eternal life.
Those who believe in Jesus are given the right to become children of God according to God’s Word in John 1:12. How joyful! God in Heaven becomes our Father. Welcome to the family of the Kingdom of Heaven. We are brothers and sisters in God.
Jesus is still the Same, He Heals, He Wants to Heal You Now
To those who believe in Jesus, if you are sick, Jesus will heal you. Jesus will solve all your problems. Jesus wants to heal and restore you. You may have a serious problem, prolonged stress, difficulty sleeping and suffered greatly. Believe that Jesus is able to heal you.
Luke 6: 17-19 tells that many people came from all over the places to hear Jesus’ teaching and to be healed from their illnesses. They were also possessed by evil spirits. And they all were freed and healed. There will be no disappointment to all who come to Him. What made them all healed? They all believed and had faith in Lord Jesus. And they were all healed.
God’s Word in Isaiah 53: 5 says, “By his stripes we are healed.” Believe and say in your hearts that I have been healed by the stripes of Jesus. Jesus Christ is still the same yesterday, today and forever. He used to heal and now He can also heal you.
Lay your hands on the part of your body that feels sick, whatever it is. Whether it is Covid-19, or mental health problems, or prolonged stress, or any illness, believe in your heart that the Lord Jesus is now working to heal you. [roy/lyd]
