Theme: Immanuel
Text: Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:22-23
All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’).
Isaiah 7:14 NLT
All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through his prophet: “Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”
Matthew 1:22-23 NLT
Glory be to God for another grace to witness the end of another beautiful month. If it hadn't been for God where would we be, He is worthy of all our praise at all times, He is a mighty God.
Heavenly father we return all glory, honour and adoration unto you. We know that you are forever dependable and you brought us thus far only to keep reminding us that you are with us, thank you for grace to pray and wait on you. As we do lord we know you will visit each of us in Jesus name. Amen
Hallelujah!! glory be to God in the highest. Isn't it amazing knowing that God is with you always. To start with, whoever is with you will want your best interest always. The theme says Immanuel which simply means God is with us.
The Bible let us know "What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?"
Romans 8:31 NLT
This verse asks a question if God is for us who can be against us? As mentioned earlier whoever is with you wants your best interest. In other words, whoever is with you is for you, so if God is for you and I just imagine what kind of soup or trouble whoever is against you is going to find themselves.
Having said that, many of us might feel like is this true, how can I acknowledge that God is with me even in this state I am, even with all this challenges..
No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39 NLT
From the verses above nothing can separate us from God even those challenges cannot take God away from you except you literally say no more God, I don't want you in my life. Even at that He will still be God and your father always.
You and I must always know that our challenges in life is not a challenge to God. Okay let's put it this way your challenge doesn't challenge God because He is God. So even though you feel like you are walking in the valley of the shadow of death, God is still there with you.
Did I hear you say amen, He is Immanuel, the anchor texts says His name will be called Immanuel which means God is with us, practically, Jesus is with us. And do you know what the name of Jesus can do, remember what the Bible says about that name...
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
Philippians 2:10 NLT
Here it is glaring that the one that is with us even have a name that every other name or authority must bow to. I hope you are now seeing the importance of God that is with us.
Moving further the Bible says..
For the very glory you have given to me I have given them so that they will be joined together as one and experience the same unity that we enjoy.
John 17:22 TPT
When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
John 14:20 NLT
The Father and I are one.”
John 10:30 NLT
From the scripture verses listed above it is very clear that when God is with us we have the trinity inside of us, because God the father and son are one, and because He is one with the father we are also. Thesame glory given to Christ Jesus is inside of us because God is with us.
You may be saying but why this sickness, why this or that, you are overcoming that challenge no matter what the scale of it because He that is inside of you and with you is greater than the one in the world.
Beloved, don't be carried away by just what you see or hear, because the one who is with you controls everything. Always depend on Him because He never fail and He will never leave nor forsake you.
From now on I urge you to function in the consciousness that God is with you no matter what.
Let us Pray
Ancient of days thank you for privilege to partake of this month prayer and fasting
King of kings thank you for removing every clouding doubts that wants to stop me from seeing that you are with me
Lord thank you for not allowing the scale of unrighteousness to blind me from seeing who you are to me always

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
