Matthew 1:18-21
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Getting up this morning was a bit of a drag because it was so cold. Thank You Father Lord for this beautiful natural AC you have provided for those who cannot afford one, and even those who can't use theirs because of light issues. Daddy to You alone be all the glory.
In our last post we learnt how God sent Angel Gabriel to a virgin named Mary that the Holy Ghost will come upon her and she will conceived and bear a son who will save the world from their sin.
Mary got truly pregnant and Joseph her fiance being a just man didn't understand what Mary was explaining to him and thought of calling off their marriage but God moved in at that period of confusion.
I see God moving in that matter where you are confused and don't know what else to do.
That night God visited Joseph and told him to take Mary his wife, believe her and stay by her because God is involved in what is happening to her.
Joseph believed and took in his wife. This was easy for Joseph because he already had an intimacy with God.
In Genesis 12vs7-20, Sarah Abraham's wife was taken to Pharaoh because Abraham told them she is his sister. God plagued Pharaoh and his household untill they found out that their sin was that they took Sarah who was Abraham's wife. They restored her and chased Abraham and his family out of Egypt.
This same thing repeated itself with Abimelech when he took Sarah to be his wife. Again, God fought for Sarah and she again was restored to her husband,
Genesis 20vs2-14.
Many years later, Isaac did the same thing in Gerar, when he lied that Rebekah was his sister and the king took her for his wife. Later the king found out the truth, and Rebekah was restored to Isaac.
Genesis 26vs7-11.
GOD FIGHTS FOR HIS HELPLESS CHILDREN.
God by Himself spoke to Joseph in a dream, as he was thinking of putting Mary away because she was found to be pregnant before their marriage, Joseph never argued or doubted God but believed. Joseph must have sought the face of God over the issue knowing that Mary was a virgin.
Beloved being intimate with God is to our own advantage. We are not doing God any favour.
Às children of God therefore, let us strive to be surrendered totally to God, so He can take charge and manage our lives for us.
Do so now if you haven't done so yet. If you were once surrendered, but now you know you are living in sin, rededicate your life afresh to God now so He can start anew with you.
God alone is my Source of health and strength.
MEMORY VERSE
Matthew 1:20
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
PRAYERS.
Heavenly Father, thank You Lord for the battles You fight for me without my knowledge, as I hold on tightly to You in Jesus name. Amen.
