THAT IT MIGHT BE FULFILLED

Matthew 8:14-17

…when Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother …sick of a fever. …he touched her hand, and the fever left her: ….When the even was come, they brought unto him many … possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

There are so many occurrences that took place in the Bible; especially in the life of Jesus, simply to fulfill what God had declared in the scriptures through the prophets. Mary gave birth to Jesus to fulfil the prophecy of the scripture of the virgin birth of the Saviour, (Matt.1:21-23). Joseph and Mary had to flee to Egypt with Jesus when His life was threatened. This was to fulfil the prophecy of scripture that God will call His son out of Egypt, (Matt.2:13-15). After Herod’s death, an angel of God told them to carry Jesus to Israel and they ended up going to Nazareth. Unknown to them, this was also to fulfil a prophecy of scripture, (Matt.2:19-23).

There are so many things going on in your life and you may not be aware that they are happening to fulfill what God has prophesied in the scriptures concerning you. Scriptures cannot be broken, (John 10:35) and God’s word will not return to Him void. It will accomplish in your life, the purpose for which it was sent, (Isa.55:11). After Jesus read the prophecy of Isaiah in the temple, He said, “Today, this scripture is fulfilled in your ears,” (Luke 4:16-21). In other words, “I am the fulfilment of this scripture and I am fulfilling this scripture as you are hearing it.” Just as Jesus healed people in our text above to fulfil the prophecy of Isaiah, He is also manifesting God’s power in your life now.

Prayer:
Father, I thank you for the things Jesus is doing in my life right now to fulfil what you have declared concerning me in your word
