GOD HAS CHOSEN YOU FOR GREAT THINGS

Luke 1:26-30 (GNB)

…God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee named Nazareth. He had a message for a young woman … Her name was Mary. The angel came to her and said, “Peace be with you! The Lord is with you and has greatly blessed you!” Mary was deeply troubled by the angel’s message, and she wondered what his words meant. The angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary; God has been gracious to you.”

Unlike Zechariah, who was troubled by the sight of Angel Gabriel (Luke 1:12), Mary was instead troubled by the words that Angel Gabriel uttered in greeting her. Angel Gabriel told her, “Peace be with you! The Lord is with you and the Lord has greatly blessed you!” When he saw that Mary was troubled at his words, he assured her by adding, “Don’t be afraid, Mary; God has been gracious to you.” The truth is that even those words were an understatement for what Mary was about to experience. However, they were the best words that could have been used in that moment. Can you imagine the things that must have been going through Mary’s mind as Angel Gabriel began to unveil the full plan of what was about to happen through her? Mary must have previously heard wonderful things about the Saviour of the world that was to come, but until that moment, she had no idea that she was the one chosen by God to be the vessel through which this Christ would come to the earth.

In the same way, God is reassuring you today. Do not be amazed when you are informed of His glorious words which assure you of who you are in Christ and of the things that will happen both in and through your life because of Christ and His life that is in you. Psalms 87:3 says, “Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God!” Beloved, eyes have not seen, ears have not heard and minds have not imagined the kind of things that God has in store for you in Christ, and God will reveal them to you by His Spirit, (1Cor.2:9-10). There are great things that you have only previously heard about that, right now the Spirit of God is overshadowing you with the power of God to experience and manifest to this generation. Don’t despise God’s Word. Don’t limit Him. Yield yourself to Him.

Prayer:
I thank You Dear Lord, for the great things that You have chosen for me to experience and manifest in Christ. I release myself to Your Spirit.
