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

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
