Image
  TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL WRITTEN BY DR JOEL DABBAS) EMPOWERMENT FOR MANIFESTATION SCRIPTURE: " Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, [22] And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Luke 3:21-22 KJV There is a strong link between empowerment and manifestation. If you desire to manifest in any area of your life, you must hunger for empowerment. Empowerment is to be enabled or equipped to do something or carry out a task. Empowerment can also mean to be equipped with power. In physics power is defined as the ability to do work. Spiritually also power is supernatural enduement to do work and generate effect or impact. While manifestation simple means to produce proofs, results or evidence.

THE VALUE OF DIVINE PRESENCE IN YOUR 2024 JOURNEY

THE VALUE OF DIVINE PRESENCE IN YOUR 2024 JOURNEY  Scripture: "The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” Exodus 33:14-16 New International Version (NIV) God is the Creator of years, time and seasons. And then gifts us all of them. That is why it is a privilege to be alive. David understood this in Psalm 3:5 KJV he said that "I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me." And in Lamentation 3:22 the Bible says that " It is of the  Lord 's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not." So in essence it is not your strength or some scientific functions that kept you alive to see this year. It is the sustainin...

The Divine Burden

Image
Title: "T he Divine Burden" Short story by Dr Joel Dabbas  In a quiet village, Mary found herself in the midst of an extraordinary journey that would forever alter the course of her life. A divine burden, she carried within her womb the promise of something miraculous. Yet, the weight of this revelation wasn't only felt in the swelling of her belly. Mary bore the silent shame of a tale too fantastical for those tethered to earthly logic. To them, her immaculate conception was a perplexing fairy tale, an enigma that invited whispers of doubt and judgment. As her belly grew, so did the burden of rejection and scorn. The skeptical eyes and hushed criticisms formed a storm around her, a tempest of humiliation that only intensified with each passing day. She became a parable of faith, a living testament to the unfathomable ways of the divine. Joseph, her betrothed, faced the internal struggle of a man torn between love and reason. Convinced of her betrayal, he contemplated ...

THE GENEALOGY OF JESUS THROUGH THE GOSPELS

THE GENEALOGY OF JESUS THROUGH THE GOSPELS (The Teaching Ministry of Dr Joel Dabbas) The most important birth was the birth of Jesus. If the world could correctly read the script of prophecy the best hospitals would want to have Him delivered in there. Probably they would've been so proud that the doctor who took His delivery would have it engraved on his epitaph. Imagine today, it would have become a sight for pilgrimage and tourism. The value of Christ's birth is so great that it affects both time and eternity. His birth was the factor for the restoration of man back to God. His birth showed that God is God of love, mercy and forgiveness. His birth shows the power of God and that there is no impossibility in God. So, that is why both the old testament and new testament spoke about Jesus and the four Gospels never started until they introduced Jesus. The four Gospels wrote remarkably about Jesus and presented diverse dimensions to the person of the Christ. Matthew  prese...

  MARY: A CHARACTER OF ABSOLUTE SURRENDER AND BELIEVE IN GOD (The Teaching Ministry of Dr Joel Dabbas) SCRIPTURE:  " And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. [31] And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. [32] He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: [33] And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. [34] Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? [35] 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. [36] And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was ca...

MARY THE VIRGIN (The Teaching Ministry of Dr. Joel Dabbas) Anchor Scripture: Luke 1:26-38 KJV "And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, [27] To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. [28] And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. [29] And when she saw him , she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. [30] And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. [31] And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. [32] He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: [33] And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there sha...

 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 Emman...
