NEWBORN KING Poem Devotional

About that time, some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.” – Matthew 2:1-2(NLT)
NEWBORN KING
A poem and essay by ILMA
There were three wise men who searched
They humbled themselves to give Christ praise
Who would ever think that they would bow down?
This baby in swaddling cloths they finally found.
“Where is the newborn king?”, they asked
They followed God’s instructions through the star
They kneeled and gave him gifts in adoration
They were humbled by this story of salvation.

Many stories about the wise men were said for thousands of years. These stories focused on the gifts they gave to the baby Jesus: gold, frankincense and myrrh. These valuable items were standard gifts to honor a king or deity in the ancient world: gold as a precious metal, frankincense as perfume or incense, and myrrh as anointing oil. The Book of Isaiah, when describing Jerusalem’s glorious restoration, tells of nations and kings who will come and “bring gold and frankincense and shall proclaim the praise of the Lord” (Isaiah 60:6).
The great thing about these wise kings is that they travelled far to come and give this baby Jesus the honor and praise that he so deserved. They followed God’s lead through the star and witnessed God’s promise of salvation.

HUMBLE KING COMES poem devotional

O people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you. He is righteous and victorious, yet he is humble, riding on a donkey. -Zechariah 9:9(NLT)
HUMBLE KING COMES
A poem and essay by ILMA
Rejoice! There’s good news to mankind!
A king comes very humble, riding in a donkey
He has been born from a poor family
Yet he is righteous and brings us victory.
The Lord Jesus Christ was given to us
God wants to free us from sin very fast
There is no time to waste, let’s abide in Him
It is the only way we can overcome sin.

Jesus came to this world and defied all traditions. He didn’t follow the ways of all the kings in the world. He chose to be born of a poor family instead of living in a palace and having all the worldly riches. No king has ever been born in a feeding trough for animals. No king was wrapped in swaddling cloths. No king had shepherds and lowly people witness his birth. Most of all, no other king was born of a virgin mother. That was a big dishonor for the traditions of his time. 1 Corinthians 1:27 says that, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. What a humble king we have in Jesus.

OF VIRGIN BIRTH poem devotional

She gave birth to a son who was to rule all nations with an iron rod. And her child was snatched away from the dragon and was caught up to God and to his throne.
– Revelations 12:5(NLT)
OF VIRGIN BIRTH
A poem and essay by ILMA
A son was born from a virgin mother
He is to rule all nations and be our Savior
This baby was born to bring peace and joy
He was given dominion to lead and to rule.
There is no other king who owns all kingdoms
Only Christ has the power to give us freedom
Jesus is ruler of all domains in heaven and on earth
Keep your eyes on the one who was of a virgin birth.
________________________________________
What makes Jesus so different from all of humankind? Although he was born of a woman, that person was kept pure and undefiled by any sexual impurity. Mary was a virgin when she conceived Jesus. That keeps her apart from all the rest of the mothers here on earth. Why did you think God chose Mary as a vessel for Jesus to be born here among us? The bible says that God is love and that out of that love, he gave his only son to us so we can have the life that he wanted for us all to enjoy. Jesus had to be born in an environment of purity and sanctity.

PRAYER
Lord, remind me to keep pure for you always as you are for me.
REFLECTION
Why is it important for us to keep our hearts pure at all times?
