You don't want to miss this.

River of Life Christian Church ︳www.rolcc.net/english Matthew 2:19-23 After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, "Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child's life are dead." So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene. Jesus grew up in Nazareth. From a human perspective, Nazareth was not a famous place. No wonder the when Philip introduced Jesus to Nathanael, Nathanael asked, "Can anything good come from there?" Nevertheless, although men look at outward appearances, God looks at the heart. From the outside, David could not be the chosen King. When Samuel went to David's house to anoint one of Jesse's sons as King, Jesse called all his sons in, but Samuel could not find the one he was supposed to anoint and asked, "Are these all the sons you have?" Only then did Jesse realize that the youngest son David was still out with the sheep. Compared to his brothers, David seem to be neglected and even Goliath looked down on him. However, God does not look at the outward appearance. . The Bible tells us that But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. Although Nazareth was an unknown village, in the Lord's hand it became known. Even in the early church, they referred to the Lord as the "Jesus of Nazareth". When Peter, John were at the temple gate called beautiful, they said to the lame man, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." Nazareth became an instrument that the Lord used.   How is your future looking? A lot of people have an inferiority complex because they feel that they were not born into a good family, their looks are average, they do not speak good English. People look at the outward appearance, but God looks at our heart. As long as we are willing to place our lives in the Lord's hand, He can change our lives so that our lives become meaningful and be a help and blessing to others, just like the donkey the Lord rode. Pray with Pastor Tong Lord, thank you because you always choose the little known people in the world, and accomplish miraculous work through them. You chose Nazareth to be the place of your birth and in the same way, you can remove the inferiority complex in our lives, and teach us to depend on you. I thank you and pray in the victorious name of Jesus, Amen!  River of Life Christian Church | office@rolcc.net | ROLCC Website
