Topic: WITH GOD, NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE
Text: Luke 1:26-38
1:26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
1:27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.
1:28 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”
1:29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.
1:30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
1:31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.
1:32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.
1:33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
1:34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”
1:35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.
1:36Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.
1:37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”
1:38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
STUDY:
Never in the history of man had a woman been pregnant without sexual intercourse, until Angel GabrieI made a holy announcement to Mary. Mary expressed her shock in these words: “How shall his be, seeing Iknownot a man?” As difficult as it sounded, the Angel was very clear with the message from God. But as a direct answer to Mary, he said,“The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore, also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” As a way to address her doubts, the Angel also informed her that her cousin Elizabeth had conceived in her old age.
When people encounter situations that appear impossible sometimes, they go off the way of God to look for solution in the wrong places. The message from God to us today is that the power of the Most High is able to do all things. Although Mary found favour before God, yet it took the power of God to bring to pass what was spoken. All we need is to believe God like Mary, and say like her,”… be it unto me according to thy word….”
Prayer:
Father, grant me the grace to believe your word in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
