[Luke 2:6-14 KJV] “And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. [7] And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn”. [8] And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night”.
[9] “And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. [10] And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. [11] For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. [12] And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. [13] And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, [14] Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men”.
The story of Christmas is not a tale of Santa Claus and white horses dashing through a snow. The story of Christmas is a reenactment of the birth of a king; the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
The devil has sought to distort this story for many years to deny the truth that God came in the flesh and dwelt amongst men. The devil knows the power of this revelation and hence seeks to distort it so that it will lose its value to save the human race. We know that God came in the flesh and dwelt amongst men; he walked where we walk and felt what we feel, so He understands us perfectly and is now interceding for us.
Today, we remember the birth of a king; our king. It is my prayer that God will remember you and fast-forward the birth of your miracle. I pray that whatever Jesus Christ was anointed to do shall be done in your life as we celebrate Him. As we celebrate Christmas, may we soon celebrate your victory. May your miracle be born! May the Lord remember you and may your long-awaited miracle be born. You will not miss your miracle. You will see great change and blessings. May the Lord cause you to walk in blessings, health, and deliverance.
You will soon celebrate your breakthrough and blessings as we celebrate Emmanuel. You, however, need certain things for the birth of your miracle and breakthrough;
1. Holy Ghost:
You would need the Holy Ghost because you would conceive your miracle when the presence of the Most High overshadows you. You need the sweet influences of the Holy Ghost to conceive and birth the great miracle you’re expecting. The power of the Most High is what it takes to conceive the miracle you are looking for. You are not going to miss your breaking moments.
May you receive the power to pull through and until you breakthrough. You will never lack what it takes to win in this coming season. You will receive the change and touch of the anointing of the Most High. You will not miss your change and touch. When the Holy Ghost comes upon you, many of the things that seem impossible will become possible.
2. Men and women in the gap:
We all need men and women who will stand in the gap to make up the hedge and pray. We all need an Anna or a Simeon. We all need people who are fasting and praying and expecting the birth of our miracle. Simeon was praying; Anna was praying, and both were expecting the birth of Emmanuel.
3. A Forerunner.
You will need people who can be sent to prepare the way. Before Emmanuel was born, John was sent to prepare the way. Every one of us needs a way maker who doesn’t envy our increase and rise. Elizabeth was pregnant just like Mary but was not tempted once to raise her son as though John was the Messiah. Elizabeth understood her calling and raised John as John the Baptist and not as Jesus. We all need mentors and forerunners whose words can inspire our vision.
Some people are bad forerunners; they rather undo you when you send them. John understood his purpose and never got it twisted. He knew that Jesus must increase and he must decrease. The singing of the women did not get him to be stupid. John was more accepted by the Jews than Jesus. No Jew accepted Jesus, but John knew he was not the light.
May the Lord raise for you people who can represent and make a way for you! May the Lord fire out of your life people who backbite and undermine you! May He expose all false sons, false daughters, and false brethren. Unlike Israel, may no Gibeonites ever be able to deceive you! May you not be foolish enough to couch on your father‘s bed simply because he made a mistake! May you not take advantage of your calling to undo others! May the Lord release waymakers to prepare the way for the birth of our miracle!
4. A Nest stirrer:
Sometimes, we all need people who would be moved by envy to act in a way that will move us into our destiny when we miss the way. If Herod had not sought to kill the child Jesus, the part of Egypt and Nazareth would not have been fulfilled. There are some people that God will use to stir the nest to get you out of your comfort zone and into your prophetic zone.
5. Wise men in a field:
Wise men who can see the sign and worship with their substance when the miracle is born. We all need men in our company who can see and worship our miracle even before it becomes powerful.
6. Joseph:
We all need a Joseph; fathers who can see dreams and direct by wisdom. You need a father who can stop you, redirect you, instruct you, and order you about. Joseph was not the biological father of our Jesus Christ, but he became his earthly father and directed his life, and Jesus was subject to him. He was submitted to him.
I pray that as we celebrate the birth of Emmanuel, you will sooner than later celebrate your victory and miracle. You will give birth to your miracle and great change shall come.
Be blessed, I love you!

Prayer:
Father, please help me to honour those who stood in the gap for me to have a life. Help me to hold in high esteem fathers who directed me. Send wise men to speak into my life to give me hope, Amen!
