OH GOD OF JOSEPH AND MARY

“This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit. Joseph, her fiancé, was a good man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly. As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. Joseph, son of David, the angel said, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through his prophet: Look The virgin will conceive a child she will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means God is with us. When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife. But he did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And Joseph named him Jesus.” Matthew 1:16-25

A divine change, a divine commendation, a divine recommendation and a glorious divine reward will definitely come to you as you bring all of your decisions today under the voice of the living God in that very situation that you are facing and had been battling personally in ways you have never imagined. There will always be big rewards for every one with a willing heart to hear God; with an obedient heart to obey His voice; an acceptable will power and submissive mind to act on the voice immediately in every situation they may encounter in life even when it is painful at the initial time for them to do so. God will never speak aimlessly or seek to flatter any one with His voice; He will never lead any one astray with His voice; will never allow anyone to remain the same after hearing His voice and act on it decisively. God’s voice did set Joseph free from confusion and helped him reach a quick decision concerning Mary and her pregnancy and it will definitely set you free at the end, will definitely give you peace at the end, will definitely bring you out of confusion, shame and even the darkest situation and afflictions from the devil against you and your family.

Joseph was concerned and burdened with following traditions; he was burdened and concerned with what people will say of and to him publicly and privately; he was concerned and burdened with what people will think about his personality and how people will regard him thereafter with his decision in the society and in the community he lived in when he saw Mary pregnant with a Child of the Holy Spirit. The tradition of his time and tribe demanded he stop the marriage and put Mary away and annul all arrangement for marriage, but the Voice of God told him clearly to take Mary as his wife and to keep his promise to her. The voice of God that same day gave him the confidence to confront and overcome tradition and its stigma. The voice of God did silenced the voice of adversity, the voices of fear, the voices of opposition and the voices of shame that he was so afraid will affect his life thereafter. The voice of God gave him the confidence to ignore what people will say and do against him when he accepts his espoused wife Mary.

Joseph was concerned and burdened by his public image within the community and the society rather than his spiritual image before the Almighty God, but the voice of God totally changed his perspective from being concerned with self to being concerned with God’s plans and program for his life and his future. I am praying God to give His voice clearly in any uncomfortable issue in your marriage and personality. God’s voice gave Joseph peace in his decision, joy in his image and strength in his acceptance of Mary and the pregnancy. Oh Lord my Father, speak to me and speak to my situation now and today as you did for Joseph and Mary in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
