Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 23 December 2023 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Saturday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Power Partners
Today’s Scripture
Luke 1:41, NIV – When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Today’s Word
Mary had God’s promise that she would give birth to the Messiah, but she had no one to come alongside her and encourage her in her dream until she visited her cousin Elizabeth. She was an older woman who had been barren her whole life but now had been pregnant with the baby John the Baptist for six months. Just the sound of Mary’s greeting caused Elizabeth’s baby to leap in the womb. Mary didn’t have to convince Elizabeth to believe for the miracle. They came into immediate agreement with each other, and they both saw something uncommon, out of the ordinary. Elizabeth gave birth to John the Baptist, and Mary gave birth to Jesus.
God has ordained that certain people will hear your dreams, see your vision, and come into agreement with you and believe for what you’re believing. You don’t have to talk them into it or hope they’ll help you; it’s a divine connection. God has orchestrated them to be a power partner to help push you into your destiny. Wait for the right person who believes for what God put in your heart.
Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for the divine connections You have ordained for me. Thank You for the power partners who believe for what I’m believing and encourage me to keep believing. Help me to get into agreement with the right people. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
About Joel Osteen
Raised in Houston, Texas, with a loving family of seven and world-renowned parents in full-time ministry, Joel Osteen never imagined that he would follow so closely in his father’s footsteps. As a young man, his training and interests were behind the scenes in television production, though he was close to his father in ministry.
“There’s no greater feeling than being able to help people rise higher and overcome something and feel better about themselves. I think that we’re all made to help others, to lift people UP.”- JOEL OSTEEN
His father always encouraged him to preach, but Joel would politely decline time and time again until one day in October 1999 when his father was admitted to the hospital with kidney complications. Joel finally agreed to preach the next Sunday, and his father passed the following week. Joel’s first sermon was the last his father ever heard. Joel and his wife, Victoria, were suddenly thrust into full-time leadership of Lakewood Church.
