God is about to do something in your life that will exceed your expectations. But, it’ll be according to His power at work in you (see Ephesians 3:20). Are you ready?
[14] “So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt,” — Matthew 2:14 NIV If I’m told to mention one submissive wife I highly revere in the New Testament, I’ll point out Mary. She never fought with her husband and never argued […]
Joseph’s submission unto God to take his little family to Egypt at night saved little Jesus from being killed. It’s essential to be prompt in obeying God, regardless of the circumstances around your life.
Through a normal greeting from Mary, Elizabeth felt the impact. How sensitive are your spiritual senses, even in ordinary conversations with the brethren?
Instead of Mary receiving the news and thinking about the “how” later, she probed further to understand God’s instruction by saying, “How will this be?…”. You have to do the same thing to get clarity about God’s promises.
All that the Magi (wise men) did was to pull resources together to honour Jesus, even as a little baby. Today, this principle hasn’t changed; in that, it’s better to fulfil a vision with a team than to do it alone.
Jesus was born unto us as a child. But when He matured in stature, He was given unto us as a Son. That is why Jesus never began His ministry until He turned thirty.
Mary never expected to receive a news from an Angel that Jesus would come through her. When it’s time to step into a new season of your prophetic destiny, strange things begin to happen. Remember that life is in seasons.
If Caesar had not issued that decree, Joseph wouldn’t have gone back to Bethlehem. And that would mean Jesus would have been born somewhere else. So I believe God made Caesar Augustus issue that decree, not himself. Things don’t just happen.
Joseph was never shy about going to Nazareth with Mary for the census, even though he hadn’t married her yet and she was expecting the child Jesus. Man of God, don’t be shy to hang out with that godly lady you love and want to marry.
Jesus’ position in heaven as the Son was too high for any earthly thing to announce His coming.
As you follow Christ and keep obeying Him, He’ll help you birth your miracles even in times of adversity.
