The Woman, Her Husband and Her City

From Our Pastor's Desk

“And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary...” Luke 1:26-28  

The Bible has records of divine visitations from the Old to the New Testaments. Many of us have read and listened to people’s testimonies of divine visitation. 

If indeed the Bible is true to you, then there is what is known as divine visitation.  The Bible in Luke 1 explicitly gave a full record of how a young and beautiful damsel from a little town was visited by an angel of God.  

From the passage above, it clearly showed that the divine visitation for uplift was for three: Mary, Joseph, and Nazareth - Matthew 21:11 – “And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee” 

The main character, the main objective of Heaven, the main reason & recipient of the angelic visitation and lifting up, was Mary. Brethren, I would like for you to go over the passage one more time, there was no visible qualification for this blessing except that she was a virgin. 

Nevertheless, heaven must have seen something else, apart from being a virgin, something we did not see or what is not visible to human perception, but only to God. 

My prayer is that, like Mary, the Lord will find in us that distinguishing trait that’ll single us out for divine visitation of upliftment, in Jesus mighty name. 

You will have good success this 2021. 

Remain blessed.  

Shalom.
