Matthew 1:20, 24-25
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.
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Glory be to God who counted us worthy to be alive today. Thank You Father Lord in Jesus name.
Beloved, we are still on why the world has to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus.
In the last post we learnt that when Joseph saw that his fiancee who was a virgin became pregnant, the Bible recorded that instead of disgracing her, thought of calling off the marriage secretly, but being a just man who feared God, he was worried, and God visited him.
I see God visiting you soon over that matter troubling your spirit in Jesus name. Amen.
The Bible further revealed that as soon as God cleared Joseph's doubt in a dream, telling him that He God is involved in Mary's case, and told him of who his wife had in her womb, he relaxed and I am very sure, he became excited and expectant. I am very convinced that the fact that he was going to be a foster father to the Saviour of the world overwhelmed him.
I also want you to know that it is because Joseph was a godly man, just, and also feared the Lord, that he was able to cope.
Next, it was recorded in the Bible that Joseph never slept with his wife till the Holy child was born.
WHAT A SACRIFICE!
You see, Jesus was not concieved through the coming together of a man and a woman in a sexual intimacy. All through her pregnancy there was no contamination. Remember, Mary was a virgin.
God took every precaution so that there will be no pollution or stain in the Blood of Jesus. This is why the Blood of Jesus is more superior till date to the blood of animals used in sacrifices. This explains why the Blood of Jesus paid for all mankind's sins and all his unrighteousness.
Remember also that the life of the flesh is in the blood.
Leviticus 17vs11.
The Blood that Jesus shed for man is why we say that Jesus gave His life for our redemption. No man could have agreed to become the sacrificial Lamb for the remission of the sins of the world, but Jesus did.
Beloved the moment you surrender to the Lord sincerely, it means you believe in Him, His Blood will cleanse you from all your unrighteousness and you become equiped and empowered by the Spirit of God to begin to do exploits for God.
Remember that God created you and I for His pleasure.
Revelation 4vs11.
Live to please God and He will guide, direct, and give you clear revelations.
God alone is my Source of health and strength.
