TODAY'S RHEMA Luke 2:8-9 "And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. " Christmas is the celebration of Jesus' birth, the birth of the Saviour. However, there are more things to contemplate in the process of Jesus' birth, the story of a young woman named Mary who gave birth to the Messiah in a stable, many people would not have believed it. People who worked as shepherds, they are the epitome of hard-hearted people, the unbelievers. They faced hard reality almost every day. It might be difficult for them to believe in that miracle. When the shepherds met the angels, they were changed. They had a new vision. The divine encounter had made them see supernatural miracle beyond the natural phenomenon. They viewed everything differently, all things seemed possible. The unbelievers became believers. The shepherds believed the joyful news and ran to seek Jesus. You may face a similar problem dealing with your family, parents, sister, brother, or friends who do not believe in God. They may be hard to handle or sometimes they reject and mock you when you try to talk about God with them. Don't be sad and disappointed. Don't give up on your effort. Keep the fire burning, keep spreading the good news of Jesus, and keep on praying and fasting for them. Keep on believing that God is doing miraculous works on them. God will do the same to your family and friends like what He had done to the shepherds. The Holy Spirit will reach their hearts and they will open their heart to experience the real love of Jesus Christ. Those who once rejected Jesus will come and believe in Him. Those who once hardened their hearts will become enthusiastic about Jesus. Remember, you are not the one who makes them repent and come to God. Only the Holy Spirit can make them repent and change their hearts. The only thing that can make them change is a real encounter with God. The divine encounter is the beginning of divine harvest.
