Sometimes we struggle to establish a personality of our own in our relationships, marriages, businesses, education, finances even when our chemistry is lacking the spark needed to grace and illuminate it. Hence our credibility is affected when things go terribly wrong because we can’t maintain enough momentum to keep fuelling our supposedly personality. But note this.. :Sometimes we struggle to establish a personality of our own in our relationships, marriages, businesses, education, finances even when our chemistry is lacking the spark needed to grace and illuminate it. Hence our credibility is affected when things go terribly wrong because we can’t maintain enough momentum to keep fuelling our supposedly personality. But note this.. “…why do you involve me?” Jesus replied “My time has not yet come” Then his mother said to the servants “do what ever he [Jesus] tells you.” A NEW WINE IS ALL YOU NEED Presentation and Message from Christians-Update Write to christianupdateoutreach@yahoo.com or kiddieschristianupdate@yahoo.com


TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE :TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE Is this you? These are people who often see possibilities in disturbing catalogues of problems. Undoubtedly Mary is one of such people. She threw caution to the wind when she approached Jesus saying “you [Jesus] have got what it takes to make things happen, don’t spend to long thinking about the wine colour, flavour or taste, just do it.” These people laid hold of the possibility of a miracle. Is this you? These are people when faced with discouraging or disturbing situations, they are spectacularly sad and pathetic because they feel they are being stretched beyond their capabilities-’Hopelessly overstretched’ they may think?- All you hear from them is “I am not structured or resourced to do this” – Theirs is a case of mistaken identity in Christ-It’s like saying I don’t see security with Christ.

Qualities of a rich fruity faith :Qualities of a rich fruity faith A rich a fruity faith does have a richness and a story and a narrative that we tend to look out for. A rich and fruity faith elaborates on God’s overwhelming blessings Our spirituality is elevated it Our mental strength and orientation are elevated and projected Helps us to avoid stumbling over or sprinting to the other side of the divide when our wine runs out Presentation and Message from Christians-Update Write to christianupdateoutreach@yahoo.com or kiddieschristianupdate@yahoo.com


A rich fruity faith :A rich fruity faith It’s all about the measure of FAITH He Jesus tested her faith saying “why do you involve me?”-sometimes we are faced with bumpy, jumpy chaotic situation when nothing seem to be going according to plan-all we need is a biting passion to passionately slave drive our faith to the limit. Undoubtedly Mary is one of such people. Her good back ground knowledge of Jesus may have given her a vintage point but nevertheless her rich fruity faith is expressed quietly when she said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” A mothers faith tried and tested -This fuelled and propelled the passion in Jesus into doing his first miracle.

Is someone running out of wine? :Is someone running out of wine? Are you bothered because your marriage or relationship is running out of that wine that was met to keep it together? Are you experiencing moments of strain in that job or office, career, business, or that investment, relationship-engagement, marriage - you just name it because it all seem to be running out of wine. It is sad to speculate how many great marriages, relationships have gone that same route because they ran out of wine


A fresh start - always a time Refill the emptiness in us :A fresh start - always a time Refill the emptiness in us There is always an opportunity to make a fresh start [a new wine] somewhere in the word of God – If only we could be immersed day by day in the word, we will all absorb it into our lives, marriages, relationships, finances, jobs, career, education, home, businesses/investment without realising it. Jesus is saying to you now “…I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.” – Isaiah 49: 23


Jesus said to them “Fill the jars with water.” – John 2: 7 :Jesus said to them “Fill the jars with water.” – John 2: 7 Fill him up with your problems and he will make provision for what you need Isaiah 41: 10 is saying to you “Fear thou not; for I am with you; be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee [ provide you a new wine in that marriage/relationship or that problem]: I will help thee…” You deserve to have a life and not to have it overshadowed or microwaved out of existence by a projected sense of insecurity, unsettling coincidences, afflictions and persecutions Presentation and Message from Christians-Update Write to christianupdateoutreach@yahoo.com or kiddieschristianupdate@yahoo.com
