Basic Scripture Daily Manna 9th December 2025 Prayer Points and Declarations

BASIC SCRIPTURE: LUKE 2: 40-52

Basic Scripture: Luke 2:40-52 (NIV)

The Boy Jesus in the Temple

40 And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.
41 Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover.
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the custom.
43 After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it.
44 Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends.
45 When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him.
46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.”
49 “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”
50 But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
51 Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.
52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

Key Themes from the Passage:

1. Holistic Growth (v.40, 52): Jesus grew in four dimensions—spiritually (“filled with wisdom,” “favor with God”), physically (“stature”), socially, and intellectually (“favor with man”).

2. Divine Priority & Purpose (v.49): Even as a youth, Jesus had a clear consciousness of His unique relationship with God and His primary mission.

3. Engagement with Spiritual Truth (v.46-47): He was found in God’s house, actively listening, inquiring, and engaging with Scripture, astounding others with His understanding.

4. Obedience in the Ordinary (v.51): After the profound declaration of His divine purpose, He submitted to His human parents and lived a life of obedience in Nazareth.

Declarations:

Speak these truths over your life and your household:

1. “I declare that I am growing—in wisdom, in spiritual strength, and in favor with God and people. God’s grace is upon my life.”

2. “My primary identity is found in my Heavenly Father. My first commitment is to His presence and His purpose for my life.”

3. “I have a teachable and inquiring spirit. I sit in God’s presence to learn, and He gives me understanding that amazes others.”

4. “I walk in obedience. I honor God by faithfully fulfilling my roles in my family, my work, and my community, just as Jesus did.”

5. “I declare peace over my household. Any anxiety is replaced with trust in God’s perfect plan for every member of my family.”

6. “Like Jesus, I balance divine purpose with daily duty. I am about my Father’s business in the mundane and the miraculous moments of my life.”

Closing Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for showing us the pattern of a life perfectly aligned with the Father. Help me to seek You first in all things, to grow daily in every dimension of my life, and to walk in humble obedience wherever You place me. May my life, like Yours, be a treasure in the Father’s heart. In Your holy name, I pray, Amen.

May your day be marked by a deep sense of your Father’s business and a faithful heart in your daily tasks.
