Grace For You Today
23rd December 2025
“The Father’s Glory — Christ in you reigns through you!”
“Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David.”
Luke 2:4 (NKJV)
“But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you shall come a Ruler who will shepherd My people Israel.”
Matthew 2:6 (NKJV)
After the angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would carry the greatest blessing of all ages—the Son of God, both Mary and Joseph had to move into alignment for prophecy to be fulfilled.
The announcement was glorious, but the promise required arrival.
Beloved, after announcement comes alignment.
After promise comes positioning.
You must align with the Holy Spirit to arrive at what God has declared over your life.
Bethlehem was considered the least among the cities of Judah—small, quiet, and easily overlooked. Yet it was from this humble town that the Ruler emerged. God chose the despised place to reveal divine kingship.
My beloved, despise not humble beginnings.
God’s pathway to your blessing may be hidden from men, ignored, or even despised but from that very place, Christ will reign.
Today, you are the Bethlehem.
From within you, Christ emerges as Ruler.
Because Christ lives in you, you reign in life.
This Christmas season reveals the reigning Christ from within you as you align with the Holy Spirit, agreeing with Him.
Prayer
Father of Glory,
I thank You for Christ in me—the hope of glory. As You aligned Mary and Joseph for the fulfillment of prophecy, align my steps with Your Spirit. Let every promise spoken over my life find expression and fulfillment. From places that seem small or overlooked, let Your rulership be revealed through me. I receive grace to reign in life through Jesus Christ. Amen.
Confession of Faith
I am God’s Bethlehem.
Christ lives in me and reigns through me.
I do not despise humble beginnings, for from within me the Ruler emerges.
I am aligned with the Holy Spirit.
I reign in life by Christ Jesus. The Father’s glory is revealed through me. Amen.
Praise the Risen Jesus
