Philip<\/a> found Nathanael<\/a> and told him,\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/i>We have found the one Moses<\/a> wrote about in the Law<\/a>, and about whom the prophets<\/a> also wrote – Jesus of Nazareth<\/a>, the son of Joseph<\/a>.<\/span><\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/i>Nazareth<\/a>! Can anything good come from there?<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0Nathanael asked.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/i>Come and see.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0said Philip. John 1 Verses 45-46<\/a> [NIV<\/a>]<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Nazareth was a despised town. That is why Nathanael was taken by surprise that Jesus<\/a> could have come from there. Nazareth was regarded as a desert<\/a>, where nothing useful was expected to grow.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nathanael’s surprise was quite revealing;\u00a0<\/span>“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked.<\/i><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>What a viewpoint!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

People could be viewing your country, city, or village in a similar light. “Can anything good come from there?” they may be wondering. Yours might be a locality that is expected to produce nothing good. Despite this, I encourage you to surprise people like Jesus did Nathanael by originating from Nazareth.<\/span><\/p>\n

I urge you to surprise people, for the glory of God.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some ‘Nathanaels’ could be looking at you and wondering whether anything good could become of you. You should surprise them by leading an exemplary Christian life<\/a> characterized by purpose, power, authority and focus! Why not?<\/span><\/p>\n

May you shake the world with the Word of God<\/a> from right from your Nazareth! May people notice and wonder where on earth you come from! And if they ask, tell them, “From Nazareth of course!”<\/span><\/p>\n

May you be an example of excellence<\/a> in a despised locality! May you be a role model<\/a> to many in a locality expected to produce mediocrity<\/a>. May you be the face of the possible,\u00a0against the odds, and inspire many to rise as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

I eagerly await the time when people shall look at you and exclaim, “Come and see!” Glory to God!<\/span><\/p>\n

DEVOTIONAL PRAYER<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n


<\/span>Apostle Paul<\/a> instructed Timothy<\/a>
\nto set the believers an example in speech<\/a>, in conduct, in love<\/a>, in faith<\/a>, and in
\npurity<\/a>. The instruction applies to me as well. I need to be a role model to believers
\nin all spheres of life.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n


<\/span>Father, I testify that my desire
\nis to live a life worth emulating, a life that is according to your perfect will and purpose for me. I will put all effort toward this, and vow to continuously
\nimprove in this regard.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
