Luke 1 & John 1: 1-14 (1st October) - Kelvin

Before the Lord Jesus came onto this earth, a series of miracles had to happen. One of which was the birth of John the Baptist who would prophesied on the Son of God. The way God works often give His people the element of surprise.

Zechariah did not expect himself to talk to Gabriel the angel of God and for a moment he did not believe what Gabriel said - that Elizabeth and him will bear a newborn even at an old age. On the other hand, Mary was not expecting herself to talk to the angel of God as well and even question on how the Lord is going to make her pregnant as she is a virgin.

As a result, Zechariah was tongue-tied by God and could only display hand signals on what he had encountered to others and his wife. I guess many of us do not expect ourselves to be in such situations like Zechariah and Mary who were definitely stunt by what God was doing in their lives.

But always remember that whenever God wants to do a work in your lives, expect something extreme to happen to you. It may be something that you really do not wish to have or you may be in a circumstance that spells trouble. Nonetheless, God is saying He will transform you with the situation that you are in because God is able to do all things - For example: as long as God wants a newborn, no matter how old a woman is, He will ensure that the child is born through her ( Just look at Sarah and Elizabeth). Thats the extend of boundary that only God can do for us. Therefore, be prepared to see the incredible things in your lives if you want God to work something out of for you.
