TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Matthew 1:18-25
“But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.” (Matthew 1: 20)
Our Focal Scripture speaks of that moment when the Angel of the Lord turned up for Joseph and instructed him to proceed with his marriage to Mary. Beyond receiving divine revelation about his impending marriage, Joseph was that man that was willing to listen to what the Angel of the Lord had to say. He was willing to be spoken to by the Angel of the Lord, but more importantly, he was willing to yield to the dictates of the divine revelation.
Friend, as you desire to be divinely directed, also seek to be that man or woman that is willing to obey what the Lord has to say. Let the posture of your inner man be such that is willing to yield to the leadings of the Lord. Let the posture of your heart be such that is willing to be directed by heaven. Let the posture of your heart be such that is vulnerable to the word of the Lord. May it be said that God did not struggle to direct you rightly.
Joseph was not just a man who could be given revelations. His heart was instructable. His heart was willing to be directed in whatever direction heaven desired. Don’t ask for divine revelations when your heart is not willing to obey. Don’t verbalize your need for divine direction only to turn your heart away from the place of obedience to the word of the Lord. If you have not learnt to submit your heart to God in obedience to His will in small matters, how will you do same in big matters?
It’s time to take a posture of obedience to God. Be willing to obey God no matter what His instruction to you will be. Be willing to submit your ideas and will to the entirety of the direction of God. Let your heart be willing to obey when God speaks. Let your heart be willing to obey no matter what God says. Let your heart be ready to obey. Let your heart be willing to defer to divine direction. Let your heart be ready to listen to God.
Remember, it was not just a case of divine direction. It was first a matter of the posture of the heart of Joseph. Let your heart take the posture of obedience.
Isaiah 1: 19 says: “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:”
DECLARATION: I take the posture of obedience, in Jesus’ name!
