           The Birth of A Humble King

2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.

4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

Clue from the Lesson: The birth of a great man was prognosticated by many prophets before the mother Mary was even conceived. They came for census and didn't know that would be the day and period of delivery. Life has a way of surprising you at times you least expected. Though it was morally unjust for a lady to be pregnant before marriage, everything is possible with God and i urge you to persevere with what ever you are doing because you do not know the hour and season where you will be graced. Everybody may ridicule your business idea and initiative as bad but am encouraging you to take it up. Just as Mary was gifted with a baby boy so are you gifted in something that should and would elevate you to the next level. Mine is to write and inspire you, discover yours today, the birth of a humble king teaches us and unveils hidden mysteries.

Now focusing on the verse 7, she(i mean they) had no option but delivered this future king in a manger(his first sign of humility)because all the rest rooms were fully occupied possibly by men who were using the room at that point in time for something quite irrelevant. You have the potential and the ability to make life better, but you may lack the support and the push,do not focus on what you lack, keep it going and persevere for that excellence, the much you can do. The one cloth that people laugh at you as the only one you have would guarantee your prospects in the future(future can be tomorrow or few hours from now) when you are determined for success. The world may not know your struggles now but would remember you for trying and achieving that success in the future.

Have a great day and Merry Christmas.
