“And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.” -Luke 1: 31 That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today. In our Focal Scripture, the Angel told Mary that she would conceive in her womb and bring forth a son. The bringing forth of a son was to be preceded by conception in her womb. The word ‘conceive’ as used in that scripture is derived from a Greek word ‘sullambano’. One of the meanings of ‘sullambano’ is ‘to collect’. God had something to give, but it was Mary’s job to collect it. God had something to release, and Mary collected the divine release. If she later failed to bring forth a child, it wouldn’t be because God had nothing to give; it would just mean that she did not receive what she was given. Friend, it may be God’s assignment to give, but it is your job to collect what God has released. It is your job to receive the outpouring of God’s Spirit; it is up to you to receive and believe the words and prophecies God has spoken to you; it’s up to you to receive, believe and act on ideas you’ve been divinely given; it’s up to you to be open to the Holy Spirit, and collect divine deposits He has for you. Today, receive and believe every word that God has spoken to you; prepare yourself for what God is set to do; open up yourself for a manifestation of God’s agenda upon your life; make yourself vulnerable to God’s Spirit; be sensitive to notice when God is doing something new in and around you. God will not come down from heaven to implement the ideas He has given you, or have faith in His own word. You are the one who needs faith and action, not God. Mary collected what God gave, and she later brought forth an uncommon child. Collect what God has released to you and you shall have uncommon results. Pray With Me: Lord, I collect everything You have released unto me, nothing missing and nothing broken, in Jesus’ name! Follow on Twitter @jerrystreams. Have A Splendid Sunday.
