SCRIPTURE READING: Matthew 2:1-16
1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi[a] from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. 5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:
6 “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for out of you will come a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel.’[b]”
7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”
9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
The Escape to Egypt
13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”
14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”[c]
16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 6-8, John 4:31-54
MESSAGE: OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 13TH MAY 2021 DEVOTIONAL
You are not too young to know that life is a battle-field. Jesus was only a baby when Herod wanted him dead. I remember the story of a family: the father had a heated argument with a man in the village, and the man vowed to destroy the entire family. First, he killed the man, on the way back from his burial, his first son who came from abroad and travelled in his new car had an accident with the car and died. When the mother heard the news, she also collapsed and died.
So, each time they travelled to the village to bury one person, another died on their way back until it was remaining only one child. The only child left was at the time studying Medicine at the University; he went to bury the last person who died and was seen by his late father’s adversary. The man the decided not to kill the last one so quickly, but make him suffer a little first. The boy got back to school and ran mad. It was in this state that he was brought to my office; I prayed a simple prayer and God delivered him.
Today, the judgement of God will come upon whoever has vowed to make you suffer in this life in Jesus mighty name. Stay with God so that He can fight all your battles.
PRAYER POINT: Father, please arise and destroy all my enemies.
