To the young believer who keeps investing in knowing God more intimately day by day, you shall bear fruit in your old age. You shall flourish in the courts of God. You shall come up with innovations that make God known in this evil generation in the name of Jesus.
[9] “But as it is written:
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” — 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NKJV)
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.
Between the time God speaks about the fulfilment of something and the time it gets fully manifested, there’s always a gap. And that is where patience and trust get highly tested.
God loves everybody, but only those who love Him qualify to enjoy more privileges from Him.
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.
God has said He’ll send the famine of His Word, but certainly not without a solution. You are the solution. Continue to be in fellowship with the Lord, and study His Word. For the days shall come where the attitudes of people will be so bad that it’s as if they never know God, even if they are in churches. Be determined to be different!
When God shows even little excerpts of His plans concerning your life, write them down and keep them at a place you’ll see them frequently. Anytime you see it, you’ll instantly reiterate the promises of God in your life.
By Rebekah keeping the prophecies on the children’s lives as was said by God in Genesis 25:23, she waged a good warfare to ensure Jacob, the younger child, inherit the first-born blessings of Isaac. Treasure what God has told you about yourself and the people that matters to you.
As potent as the gifts in us can impact nations for the gospel, they can suffer our neglect. Give attention to them through their development and usage
If you’re born again, you’re born of the Spirit. And as a result of that, your life is unpredictable by natural people or scientific statistics.
