Dear Wife, Follow Your Godly Husband
[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 […]
Be Prompt in Obeying God’s Instructions
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.
How Sensitive Are Your Spiritual Senses?
Through a normal greeting from Mary, Elizabeth felt the impact. How sensitive are your spiritual senses, even in ordinary conversations with the brethren?
Probe Further to Understand God’s Instruction
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.
Pull Resources Together to Honour Jesus
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.
Unto Us a Child Is Born
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.
When It’s Time to Step into a New Season of Your Prophetic Destiny
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.
Things Don’t Just Happen
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.
It Is Not Wrong to Hang Out Publicly with Your Beloved
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.
God Will Woo People’s Hearts to Support You
Jesus’ position in heaven as the Son was too high for any earthly thing to announce His coming.
Birth Your Miracles Even in Times of Adversity
As you follow Christ and keep obeying Him, He’ll help you birth your miracles even in times of adversity.
Master Your Spiritual Discernment to See Right as a Leader
Herod ended up dead because he saw Jesus’ birth as a threat, not as a prophecy fulfilment. As a leader, you must master your spiritual discernment to see right in situations and people’s potential. If you don’t, you’ll make wrong decisions and make pursuits contrary to the vision God gave you.
