Your Security Is Not in Your Position
God is a generational God. So He thinks of generations whenever He begins something through someone. For what He has started with you to have a transgenerational impact, succession is crucial.

Sometimes, many believers disobey God because they forget to write down the vision He gives them. And because they forget, they also fail to wage a good warfare by working in prayer and living by discipline. Don’t be like that. Godly vision will remain as ideas if you fail to take it up.
How do you process the miraculous news you receive? Do you ponder on God’s faithfulness or forget to acknowledge God for His works in your life?
Are you a busy Christian so used to work that you don’t take time to celebrate your miracle? Don’t live like that. We live in a busy world. So, no matter what you do, work will never end. The more you work, the more the work. Therefore, sometimes, take some time off the everyday routine to rest and celebrate God’s works in your life.
This Christmas, what’s your focus? Is it on the plenty of food you will eat with your family or gifts you’ll receive from your loved ones? The food will fade away. The gifts will be used. The euphoria of the season will also go. But Jesus will remain Lord forever.
After the angel Gabriel gave Mary the news that Jesus would be born through her and used Elisabeth’s case of giving birth in old age, she decided to go and stay with the old lady. Mary’s decision to go and stay with Elisabeth implies that it is prudent to hang around people who are pregnant with God’s promises.
[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 […]
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.
