Don’t watch the enemy steal your man from you. It’s not just about meeting a godly partner but keeping him, both before and after marriage. When a man hears from God to do something, he might not say it immediately. Joseph didn’t explain why he still took Mary home as his wife, even though God told him to do it. So dear lady, pray for your man because when he’s under Elohim’s leadership, you also will be safe and enjoy each other.
Joseph was from the tribe of Judah. So if Mary had lost him, we wouldn’t have had any right to call Jesus the “Lion of Judah.” Can you discern your man well, virtuous woman? Don’t treat him like a jerk or a son. Love him, respect him and care deeply about his welfare because men rarely get even a little of this kind of treatment from women except for their mothers and sometimes sisters.
Joseph was a just man. He was faithful to the laws of God. And because of his integrity, he wanted to divorce Mary quietly after finding out she was pregnant through the Holy Spirit. What this would have meant is that Mary would be stoned to death and also accused of committing adultery since Joseph wasn’t the one who impregnated her. But God protects godly relationships from failing.
If Joseph had challenged God’s instruction to escape to Egypt, Jesus would have been killed. Obey God without hesitation.
Do not let life issues consume your thoughts so much that you forget to spread the Word about Jesus to the world.
God didn’t give the wise men a reason not to return to Herod. He simply gave them an instruction to use another route, and they obeyed, ending up in saving Jesus’s life from attempt to be killed by Herod.
Three gifts were presented to Jesus by the wise men namely: gold, frankincense and myrrh. However, the wise men (Magi) were more than three.
Nobody forced the shepherds to go to Bethlehem at that night hour when they heard Jesus was born, but they said to themselves “let’s go to Bethlehem” out of reverence to Him.
We can be joyous every Christmas season and present gifts unto our loved ones. But the best gift we can give to someone who doesn’t know the reason for the season is Jesus.
Even though 25th December isn’t the exact day Jesus was physically born, it’ll always be remembered and used to celebrate the first coming of the Prince of Peace.
But for Jesus to be placed in a manger by his mother, it means God sent Him to a strange world, where nobody knew who He was from above.
If there was no guest room available for Jesus’ parents, yet Jesus was born safely without any complications, then God knows how to help you beyond human understanding.
