WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF DECEMBER 2022 – ENTITLED: EMMANUEL – GOD WITH US!
In God’s name in Christ Jesus, I hereby welcome you to MONTH DECEMBER, the month of enacting – The Commemoration and Celebration of God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION cause on Earth to ALL mankind. And month DECEMBER is entitled: EMMANUEL – GOD WITH US, which depicts JESUS THE CHRIST – The MESSIAH, The SAVIOUR and LORD – that’s BORN in our HEARTS.
The Month DECEMBER as all know, is the Month TWELVE (12) of the Julian and Gregorian Calendar Months. It happen to be the last in the numerical Monthly count of the yearly numbering. Besides this, there are other indications of the number TWELVE. Herein are few for your perusal:
** The number 12 is ubiquitous — it’s the number of months in a year, hours on a clock face and the number of members on a typical court jury.
** The number 12 is mentioned often in the New Testament of the Bible, such as Jesus’ selection of 12 apostles. That choice was deliberate, with each apostle representing one of the 12 tribes of Israel. In the most of cases number 12 is actually a representation of authority and perfection.
** This number can also represent the CHURCH and FAITH in general. It can be also used as a symbol of divine rule, actually the symbol of the perfect government of God.
Month DECEMBER is a unique month in many ways and respect in terms of been the twelve month as mentioned and described above. It’s also a gracious month to enhance the goodness and BLESSEDNESS of the BEAUTY of God’s work in humanity as per the Scriptural writ of the month DECEMBER as theme and entitled:
“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.
“For unto you is born THIS DAY in the city of David a SAVIOUR, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, AND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN” Luke 2:11-14.
“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST” Matthew 16:20.
Upon the basis of the SCRIPTURES above, I therefore say to you in the name of the Lord God, that by – THIS DAY – BEING TODAY, LET EMMANUEL – JESUS THE CHRIST – The MESSIAH, SAVIOUR AND LORD – BE BORN IN YOUR HEARTS as you do life to live godly. And upon this cached phrase this Month DECEMBER 2022 Themed is coined as:
“EMMANUEL” – GOD WITH US!
EMMANUEL – meaning – GOD WITH US – signifies God dwelling (or comes to dwell) with humanity – thereby creates a new passage for a new kind of RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP between us and Him. We lost this RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP in the Eden of Adam; but God in His LOVE at the Birth of JESUS THE CHRIST, has RESTORED this awesome FELLOWSHIP to enhance our RELATIONSHIP In Him, which was and is made possible, in the CAUSE of His REDEMPTION for us in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
God in humanity is JESUS in name; while CHRIST depicts Him as – the Messiah, the Saviour, the Redeemer and the Holy one of Israel for His cause on earth for human redemption.
We’ve been called into this FELLOWSHIP that we might enjoy God and the heavens RELATIONSHIP on earth again; so we can say that as “HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD” and can joyfully ask of HIS WILL to be done in our domain on this side of heaven call the earth, as it’s written in the Holy Writ of 1 John 4:17 and Matthew 6:10.
“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD” 1 John 4:17.
“Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN” Matthew 6:10.
This then is the REASON for the SEASON, the DECEMBER mood that comes along with CHRISTMAS which is:
“The Yearly and Annual COMMEMORATION and CELEBRATION of God’s LOVE In Christ Jesus And His REDEMPTION CAUSE On EARTH” for the good of ALL mankind.
And it is as we EXPLORE His PRESENCE in this RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP of JESUS – THE CHRIST, our God EMMANUEL, we can then ENACT Him in IN us, FOR us and WITH us; and when our PATH OF LIFE is ordered aright in this essence of God EMMANUEL, we can then enjoy to the FULNESS, the abounding PLEASURES of God in His grace and BLESSEDNESS forevermore. Amen. Psalms 16:11; Psalms 65:11-13; 1 Corinthians 1:9.
Today as in this Month DECEMBER that prelude the CHRISTMAS season, let’s take advantage of the indwelling EMMANUEL, JESUS the Christ, to enjoy continuously, God’s presence in fellowship and in our path of life to keep us thriving, blossoming and glowing with His pleasures in life and godliness.
Therefore Today, THIS DAY, I pray that EMMANUEL comes to be in your life, in this Month DECEMBER, this season that prelude the Christmas, in Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
