Rhapsody Of Realities 14 July 2025 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): The Virg1n Birth Confirms His Deity

TOPIC: The Virg1n Birth Confirms His Deity (Rhapsody of Realities 14 July 2025)

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us (Matthew 1:23).

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:

When we say Jesus Christ is deity, we’re affirming that He is God. This claim is significant, especially when you consider that many around the world view Jesus merely as a prophet or a great teacher. While it may seem respectful for some to call Him a great prophet or a remarkable teacher, these assertions fall far short of His true identity.

That’s the reason it’s important to understand who He really is by first examining the miracle of His birth. The Bible describes His birth as extraordinary, something that had never occurred in all of history. Matthew 1:18 says, “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.”

Mary’s conception was a miracle. Before she and Joseph were married or had come together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Ghost. Joseph, described as a just man and unaware that God was behind it all, intended to quietly end their engagement to avoid bringing disgrace upon her.

But as he pondered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him and explained that the conception was not of man but of God (Matthew 1:20). The angel also instructed Joseph to name the child Jesus, stating, “…for he shall save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).

What makes this account even more remarkable is that it was a fulfilment of prophecy. The Bible says, “Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us” (Matthew 1:22-23).

This prophecy was given long before Jesus was born, indicating that His birth was part of God’s divine plan. The name “Emmanuel” means “God with us,” clearly pointing to His divine nature. Jesus was not born through natural means. His birth, being purely divine, is evidence of His deity and also proves His divine origin.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for revealing the deity of Jesus Christ through the Scriptures. I acknowledge that Jesus is indeed God. I rejoice in the truth of His divine nature, and I celebrate His supernatural birth that brought salvation to the world. Thank you for making me a partaker of your divine life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY

Isaiah 7:14 – Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Isaiah 9:6 – For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Matthew 1:18-23 NIV – This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).
