 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD WEDNESDAY 1ST JANUARY, 2025 TEXT: Luke 13:6-9 [6]He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. [7]Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? [8]And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: [9]And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. TOPIC: ANOTHER YEAR OF MERCY      Our existence on earth today is not by accident, God kept us for a purpose , his desire is that all should be saved and not end up in hell . As days roll, he keep sending his word to us through different means so we can have a change of mind.

Understanding the divinity of Jesus

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD TUESDAY 31st DECEMBER, 2024 TEXT: Matthew 1:22-23 Matthew 1:22 [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. TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING THE DIVINITY OF JESUS       The greatest mystery about Jesus and the most contended about scholars is that “Jesus is God” . The whole book of the gospel of John was written as a thesis with seven evidences to prove that Jesus is God who came into this world to rescue people from their sins and give them his life to live. John was addressing believers then who fell into the error that Jesus was not God and till today some believers still fall to that error.         The writer of Matthew stated that the name of Jesus is Emmanuel meaning God is with us. God came as man to dwell with us. ...

Understanding the virgin birth of Jesus

  DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD MONDAY 30TH DECEMBER, 2024 TEXT: Matthew 1:22-23 Matthew 1:22 [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. TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF JESUS The coming of Jesus was prophesied before his arrival. The writer of the gospel made reference to Isaiah 7:14 as an evidence or proof to his audience that truly Jesus fulfilled the Scripture. One of the most contested truths about Jesus is his virgin birth and his divinity. These are more debated than his miracles. The virgin birth was a mystery, the more you ponder about it, the less you see. It is a mystery that can not be unravelled. Christianity is full of mysteries, and you just have to accept the mysteries as they are without questioning it.         The reason there is...

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD SATURDAY 28TH DECEMBER, 2024 TEXT: Matthew 1:19-20 [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. TOPIC: THINK BEFORE YOU ACT         It is natural for humans to act immediately they are confronted with unpleasant situations. Like Newton said Actions and reactions are equal and opposite. For every action there is always a reaction to it. Before you react when you hear unpleasant news about someone or you are faced with a slander. Take a breathe, relax and give it a thought.

When all hopes are lost, you can always count on him. In Christ, the promise of salvation was met, in him the hope of eternity was met, in him was fulfilment of laws, in him was the fulfilment of prophecies. All promises of God are met when we completely trust in him alone.        Simeon and Anna were of age , they were kept because they hope to see the salvation of God. They served God with all their heart and are model of faithful service to God in the temple. They...
