MARY: A DIVINE SEED BEARER

 MARY: A DIVINE SEED BEARER

(The Teaching Ministry of Dr. Joel Dabbas)

Luke 1:31; 35 KJV

"And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."

One of the  many characters of of God is that He is the Giver of seeds. God has the nature of building great things from a seed.

In every generation, God puts His seed in men through whom He would eventually build greatness and His Kingdom. For instance through Abraham He planted the seed of covenant so has to raise a generation (Israel) that would carry His name on earth.

Mary carried the seed of God and birthed Jesus to the world. Matthew 1:23 KJV says that
"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." My focal point here is that, she gave birth to a son that men called Emmanuel meaning God with us. In essence she birthed the presence of God in her generation, she birthed the presence of God that the whole earth couldn't recover from the impact of that presence until today. She birthed Divine presence that the Bible recorded that if the prince of this world (the devil had known), he wouldn't have crucified the Son of Glory. Because the impact of the birth of Divine presence in Jesus was an eternal catastrophe to the kingdom of darkness.

Now, by extension Mary showed us that there is possibility in men carrying divine seeds in them.

1 Peter 1:23 KJV helps us understand that
"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever." The seed of God in a person is a change agent capable of bringing out in us the very nature of God. The word of God is God's seed that when it is sown into your spirit and your soul by the Spirit of Truth, you will be transformed into a new  creature.

Every regenerated Christian is forever saved by virtue of being endowed with the very life of the Lord Jesus Christ because, in the Bible, Christ is seen as God’s “seed (in Greek it is called sperma)” sown into every believer’s human “spirit of man.” Thereby they are “one spirit” with Christ (1Cor 6:17). The "sperma" of the Spirit carries all the nature, character and attribute of the Father. This is what was sown into you, that is why if the seed is truly in anyone, they act like God and manifest Him for the world to see.

As we celebrate Christmas I want you to note that Mary showed us that it is very possible to carry the seed of God in us and reveal God Himself into the world; we can also bear His presence, His nature, His character and person for the world to see and know.

You can reveal Jesus to your world to know. Glory!!!
