Unto Us a Child is Born, a Son is Given

Isaiah 9:6 -For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government (the authority to make & enforce laws, the management or control of something) shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful (fantastic: extraordinarily great), Counsellor (an advisor on personal problems, somebody, usually a professional, who helps others with personal, social or psychological problems; an attorney, especially one who acts for a client in a trial), The Mighty God the strong, powerful, big & impressive supernatural being; the all knowing creator of the universe), The everlasting Father (never failing or never coming to an end; the beginning & the end founder, establisher, originator or leader;), The Prince of Peace (the royal ruler of freedom, tranquility, mental calmness & serenity, with no anxiety; harmony, the absence of violence or other disturbances).



The above has given us a clear picture of Jesus, within whom all power lies. Look what God has born and given unto us to complete every test and trial of life with victory until we land on heaven shores. We have every resource we need to fight the good fight, to war a good warfare, to finish our course, everything that pertained to life & godliness is in the Son. Are you in manifold tests & trials? Don’t lose hope because the government or authority, or control is on His (Jesus) shoulder. You need not fret or lose control. Just cast it on His shoulder. He is wonderful, fantastic, and extraordinarily great because He is our Counsellor, our lawyer, our advisor; who has never lost a case. He is the Mighty God, is there any one stronger or powerful than He. The Everlasting Father, founder and originator of everything. He is the Prince of Peace. Why should we worry, be cast down or why should we be perplexed? He is the royal ruler of mental calmness & serenity, with no anxiety; he is the very essence of harmony. And, if you’re wondering if these resources will ever be depleted, not according to Isaiah 9:7a, Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end…. No depletion here only an increase of His government and peace of which there is no end!!!!!!!!!!
