Birth of John the Baptist Foretold - Luke 1:5-25

 

Key Lessons:

1. Seek God and Request from Him for your needs. God should be the first and not the last channel to find answers to your needs.
2. It is OK to be prudent and ask for confirmation even though it is not the best.
3. We ask God and God answers, but we doubt! This is like the Disciples praying for Peter's release and yet did not believe the Maid's words in Act 16:23.  This is different from SCAM. With Scam, we did not ask for it. It was initiated by them to tempt or threaten us. We need to double-check such messages.
4. With John the Baptist's mission, we are reminded of our commission to share the gospels and make disciples of all nations. We are to rely on the Holy Spirit who empowers us.
