1. Relationship with God: Mary's relationship is so strong to a level whereby angelic encounters is not strange to her unlike zechariah that was troubled when he saw the Angel. Luke 1 verse 11 -13: and there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. And zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. But the Angel said to him, "do not be afraid , zechariah, for your prayer is heard.......

The encounter was strange to Zechariah but Mary wasn't afraid but she wondered what his words meant.... meaning that she is used to angelic encounters.

Luke chapter 1 verse 38: And Mary said, "behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord........ Before this can be said...it means Mary really know who God is.

2. FAITH:

In history, it is known that a man must impregnate a woman....but Mary have the faith to believe that she can be pregnant without a man. Hebrew chapter 11 verse 1-3: now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old received divine approval. By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear.

There is no success journey with God without faith. You can't walk with God if you don't have faith hebrew 11 verse 6 says and without faith it is impossible to please him. For whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Faith is the ability to take God at his word....faith is the currency in the spirit realm to transact with God.

Let's look at the story of Hannah in the book of 1samuel chapter 1 verse 13-18: Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard; therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman. And Eli said to her, "how long will you be drunken? Put away your wine from you." But Hannah answered, "No, my Lord, I am a woman sorely troubled; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the Lord. Do not regard your maidservant as a base woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation." Then Eli answered, "Go in peace, and the God of israel grant your petition which you have made to him." And she said, "Let your maidservant find favour in your eyes." And her countenance was no longer sad (FAITH).....

After this God remembered Hannah and she conceived and bore a son. If you want to see the glory of God in your life, career, business and family etc. It will be by faith. One thing that separates Joshua and Caleb from other guys is their FAITH in Numbers chapter 13 verse 1 to end..... Other guys brought an evil report based on what they saw....but Joshua and Caleb brought a good report based on their faith.....bible says we walk by faith not by sight.
