MARY THE HIGHLY FAVOURED MOTHER OF JESUS

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: MARY THE HIGHLY FAVOURED MOTHER OF JESUS 

TEXT: LUKE 1: 26-38 

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 27th 

Key Verse: Luke 1: 45. And blessed is she that believeth for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Mary was the virgin woman through which the Saviour of the world, Jesus Christ was born to save mankind. God allowed it that way so that he can go through the normal process of delivery as other humans went through. Mary was highly blessed among women to be the one to give birth to Jesus Christ. She took the message from the angel with great humility and said, “Be it unto me according to Thy word”.
Mary at that time was already in courtship with Joseph but never defiled herself like the world does these days. She kept her virginity and lived a holy lifestyle that heaven took note of. She nurtured Jesus with care and diligence knowing who He is to the world and was bringing Him to the house of the Lord. Mary saw the wisdom and qualities in Him but kept note of it. She was always careful not to use harsh words on Him even when they sought and later found Him. At the wedding in Cana of Galilee, she told the disciples “whatsoever He tells you to do, do it.”
She was in total obedience to Joseph in adhering to all the instructions God was giving to him to save the life of the Child. Mary as a committed lover of God was always found among the brethren even after the Lord ascended to heaven. Mary did not use her position as the earthly mother of Jesus to control the rest of the disciples. She was always humble.
Mary accepted that she was “the handmaid of the Lord”, respecting the Lord as her Lord. Unfortunately, some people worship the image of Mary today which is complete idolatry. Mary made it to heaven through the holy life she lived and maintained. The standard of God has not changed: Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by Him.

Thought for the day: Worship God and not His creative works 

Song for the day: I will never worship man-made god, man-made god…

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 38-39; 1 Peter 4

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
