YOU WILL BE CELEBRATED!

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE."When Elizabeth was full-term in her pregnancy, she bore a son. Her neighbours and relatives, seeing that God had overwhelmed her with mercy, celebrated with her." (Luke 1:57, 58 MSG)

Your life will not end this way. You will be celebrated in that same place where you have been despised! Your tomorrow is better than your today. The end of a thing is better than the beginning thereof. You will end your life well. In our opening scripture, Zachariah and Elizabeth were very old and people had given up on them,thinking they would die childless.
"But they were childless because Elizabeth could never conceive, and now they were quite old." (Luke 1:7 MSG).

In Hebrew Zachariah means "The Lord Remembers" while Elizabeth means "The Lord is a vow". In spite of their old age the covenant keeping God who never breaks a vow remembered them. Those who did not know they were a combination of remembrance and vow thought all hope was lost. They gave up hope of ever bearing children and their family, friends,medical science,brethren shared the same view. Unknown to them,as far as they kept calling their names they were calling the God of 'vow' and 'remembrance'.

Most people did not expect any form of celebration from their household but secretly awaited their death and burial as a childless couple. But the God of 'remembrance and 'vow' insisted that they must be celebrated. They were no longer praying for a baby but our faithful God remembered His vow.

An Angel of God came with the prophecy and Zachariah did not believe. When God says "YES" even "un belief" cannot say "NO". In due season, Elizabeth(God of vow) gave birth to a baby boy called 'John' meaning God is gracious. Hallelujah!
God cannot fail,His word must always come to pass. He will remember His vow to bless you abundantly and His grace will bring it to pass. The name of your miracle baby will be "God is gracious".

"Her neighbours and relatives, seeing that God had overwhelmed her with mercy, celebrated with her." (Luke 1:58 MSG) This year, your neighbours and all those who mocked and despised you will come to celebrate with you. In that same neighbourhood, you will prove to them that you serve a living God. The people who have been asking if your God is dead shall see evidence that He is a God of remembrance.

The Bible said all the relatives gathered because they saw that God had overwhelmed her with mercy. They celebrated her. Wow! The mercy of God is at work in your life. You will be celebrated this year. Get ready! It is your year of multiple celebration.

Today's Response.
Give thanks to God for His vow and remembrance of you, for grace and mercy for celebration in your life.
