Scripture Focus
Mat 1:18-25 · KJV
(18) Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. (19) Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. (20) 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. (21) And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. (22) Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, (23) Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. (24) Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: (25) And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Devotional Message
Meditate On The Message
Most of us have had various dream encounters that either exposed darkness, or gave us newer inspiration. In this Scripture, we notice an angel of the Lord appearing to Joseph in response to his worries. Mary had just been discovered to be pregnant, and Joseph who was a devout man had concluded plans to abort his marriage to Mary.
Mary had earlier had an angelic encounter during which Jesus Christ was promised and this encounter was private. God can manifest Himself to other people in their dreams for your sake. This same situation was seen in the case between Abraham and Abimelech in Genesis 20, Abraham had relocated to Philistia, and connived with Sarah to lie about her status as his wife to avoid being killed.
Abimelech had taken Sarah in as a possible concubine but was yet to know her at that point. Just before anything could go wrong, God visited Abimelech in a dream because of Abraham. God pays visits to people because of us when a covenant is active between us and Him.
Powerful covenants with God, unleash angels on our behalf. God can torment people through dreams because of us as can be seen in the case of Pilate's wife, all what is needed is a strong covenant with Him. God can equally appear to people and command them not to rescind from favouring us as can be seen between Joseph and Mary.
God wants to take the dream encounter to people for our sake. He wants to manifest to people who need to help us and to people who seek to harm us. Let the covenant between us and the ministry trigger heaven to torment our enemies and persuade our helpers through dreams in Jesus mighty name.
