It Couldn't Have Been Any Virgin!


Some religious scholars believe in the school of thought that God randomly selected a virgin and the lot fell on Mary because of her chaste life. Well, at a point in my life, I agreed with those scholars. But hey! God is in the habit of revealing his word to ordinary people like me. *Winks(Permit me to brag in the Lord. He's aware that I love him too much).

Those scholars had a point but they missed it along the way. *I bet they didn't take a critical look at this portion of the Bible:
Mathew 1 narrates that Mary was betrothed to be married to Joseph before the angel of the Lord appeared to her. Interestingly, Joseph wasn't an ordinary man either, who ran out of luck, he was from the lineage of David!

Mary wasn't made the mother of Jesus by accident. Scripture also states in Jeremiah 1:5 as thus:
"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you."

Also, Mathew 10:30 reads, "And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered."

It couldn't have been any virgin! Before God acts, He plots.

Mary and Joseph were not mere instruments used to welcome the Messiah, they were carefully handpicked and consecrated by God.


Have a Fab day!

    After bragging in the Lord, don't feel guilty that your love for him didn't choose you to carry the son of God.

    Also many will read it this way: 'It Couldn't have been any Virgin- So Mary wasn't one after all, right?' or Why claim one when you said: 'IT couldn't have been any VIRGIN?'

    Rather she was chosen because God found no other Virgin like her and would be an endless debate to select one if there was no "her"!

PLEASE

Image
The word "please" is a subtle cry for mercy. It expresses one's vulnerability. The phrase 'please' has reinstated businesses, work, cordial and intimate relationships. In the same vain, it has clouded the thinking abilities of individuals, thus handicapping them. These "handicap" could entail compromising to illegitimate business deal, subscribing to peer pressure, or in serious occasion, giving up one's moral values. Some have contacted venereal diseases because of please . It is true that vulnerability is a bridge to connection. But never forget that vulnerability is one of the ways. There are others means of attaining it. Connection in this context means legitimate links to self purpose. Please can be used in harmless or harmful contexts. Stay woke! Ensure you're using the term "please" to achieve a purpose, not to attack a prey. If the eventual result of the use of your "please'' doesn't align with godly re

UNEQUALLY YOKED

Who is the unequally yoked person? One who is unable to partner with you at a particular level. Failure to disassociate yourself from them will lead to sinking and eventual drowning. Anchor Scripture: { Proverbs 27:17 } "Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.'' Ab initio, humans were not wired to live in isolation, they were wired to have companions who will help them in their daily lives. Everyone who accrues successes at different level was helped. Iron sharpens iron. Never been heard of that iron sharpen plastic or vice-versa, the iron will remain blunt and will be unable to operate at the realm it was designed to, while the plastic will be dissected into bitty parts. "Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what fellowship does light have with darkness?"( 2 Corinthians 6:14- NET Bible ) This Biblical portion is one to ponder upon. Partnerships , Relationships , and Courtships are sensitive SHIPS that shouldn&#
