CHRISTMAS is a bonding time for families and those we care about. And one gracious and graceful great thing about Christmas and THIS CHRISTMAS – it’s a time to SETTLE SCORES, FORGIVE, JUSTIFY and EMBRANCE. But in some homes and families, it’s the opposite today and even now; for them it’s a time for in-fighting, counting wrongs, blames, confusion and such likes. These various failures ought not to be so – simply because of the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus that SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS your human (Sense) KNOWLEDGE has been shed and showed in our hearts by the Holy Spirit that indwells in us all – Romans 5:5.

I therefore PRAY as Apostle Paul for you today and even now – that you may KNOW and UNDERSTAND the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus that surpasses and transcends your human concept of five senses KNOWLEDGE of God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus that concerns you, family and those you care about. This is to enable you enjoy the FULNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Make THIS CHRISTMAS your NEW DAY and NEW BEGINNING of expressing daily the LOVE of GOD in CHRIST JESUS which surpasses and transcends your human five senses KNOWLEDGE concept in all you do to self, family, colleagues and your fellow human beings and mankind.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! BLESSED CELEBRATION AND COMMEMORATION!!

“And HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5

“For this CAUSE I bow my KNEES unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 of whom the whole FAMILY in HEAVEN and EARTH is NAMED, 16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 may be ABLE to COMPREHEND with ALL saints what is the BREATH, and LENGHT, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH KNOWLEDGE, THAT YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD. 20 Now unto him that is ABLE to DO EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL all that we ASK or THINK, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen” Ephesians 3:14-21.

“Let LOVE be without hypocrisy. ABHOR what is EVIL. Cling to what is good. 10 Be KINDLY AFFECTIONATE to one another with brotherly LOVE, in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 DISTRIBUTING to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. 14 BLESS those who PERSECUTE you; BLESS and do not CURSE. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. 17 REPAY no one EVIL FOR EVIL. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, LIVE PEACEABLY with all men. 19 Beloved, do not AVENGE yourselves, but rather GIVE place to WRATH; for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore “IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM; IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” 21 Do not be OVERCOME by evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:9-21 (Ref: Proverbs 25:21-22)

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: CHRISTMAS And CHURCH SERVICES – Find One Near You And Attend!

**What is CHRISTMAS – is the yearly commemoration & Celebration of God’s LOVE to mankind in the BIRTH of our Lord & Saviour Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on earth.

**What is the CHURCH – is the voluntarily gathering of people to FELLOWSHIP with each other and WORSHIP and SERVE God WORTHILY and ACCEPTABLY under a designated Shepherd – Pastor.

The service in the Church highlights the Christmas. In the MORNING or at start it is called the GATHERING or COMING TOGETHER – The MASS Service – Celebration and Commemoration – Hebrews 10:24-25; while in the EVENING or at closing it is called BENEDICTION – Professing, Declaration, Proclamation – which is the act of PRAYER in endorsing and invoking the divine Trinity. And that is: “The GRACE – which is The ACTS of Christ; The LOVE – which is The ACTS of the Father God; and The COMMUNION (Fellowship) – which is The ACTS of the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 13:14.

These BENEDICTION ACTS are often said after this manner occasionally: “May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit” be with you and those you care about – This Christmas. Amen.

Therefore, endeavour to attend to the Church services near you if there’s an opening of their door of services on Christmas day. And to know full well that:

“SELFISHNESS makes CHRISTMAS a burden but LOVE makes CHRISTMAS an INDESCRIBABLE celebration and commemoration of PEACE, HOPE, FAITH, JOY and GOODWILL to all mankind”

“And let us CONSIDER one another to PROVOKE unto LOVE and to GOOD WORKS: 25 not FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER of some is; but EXHORTING one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25.

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” 2 Corinthians 13:14.

The Christmas REASON

By Leave a Comment

The Christmas REASON: The Expression SEASON Of God’s LOVE to HUMANITY – In RELATIONSHIP And FELLOWSHIP!

By virtue of birth, my wonderful children have an awesome RELATIONSHIP with me. But if any is to enjoy a MORE THAN the usual, normal and generalised blessings, they have to engage in a constant FELLOWSHIP to know and understand the path to it, that’s their RESPONSIBILITY.

Much more in the same scenario, by virtue of God’s love in Christ Jesus’ we obtain RELATIONSHIP in our being born of God (comely called Born Again). But if we are to enjoy the fullness of God, we must endeavour to explore a FELLOWSHIP decorum with Him.

Adam lost his FELLOWSHIP at Eden and it cost him at Eden as we know. Jesus in humanity maximise His FELLOWSHIP in His humanity and He made all the difference as we know.

This is not about Church or special programs and busy prayer meetings and schedules, but how much of FELLOWSHIP you are having and engaging with Father God personally. This is good and necessary, in order to enhance and boost your worth in Him and for Him. This is what ‘THIS CHRISTMAS” in ‘THIS DECEMBER” and ‘THIS DAY” should be about – The REASON for the SEASON.

It is the FELLOWSHIP that strengthens RELATIONSHIP. Sin hinders the fellowship and in time destroys and erases the relationship as in Eden. Hence during this SEASON of Christmas, give room for the REASON, that is, God’s love in Christ Jesus in relationship for fellowship to count and account for you and your good.

Make time to be ‘ALONE WITH FATHER GOD’ and have your own ACQUAINTANCE with Him. For LOVE makes Christmas a gracious event while SELFISHNESS (SELF-CENTEREDNESS) makes it a burden and pain.

May you have an amazing Christmas in all you do I pray.

Every Blessing.

“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have FELLOWSHIP with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have FELLOWSHIP one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” 1 John 1:5-7.

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there PRAYED (FELLOWSHIP)” Mark 1:35 (Emphasis Mine).

“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Psalms 16:11).

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW creature (CREATION): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (Emphasis Mine).

ENQUIRING WISELY IN LIFE

ENQUIRING WISELY IN LIFE: IT’S SCRIPTURALLY UNWISE TO SAY – YESTERDAY IS BETTER THAN TODAY!

It’s Scripturally WISE to say that BETTER is TODAY Than BEFORE – That’s Wisdom in God’s and BLESSEDNESS.

One great error of errors, it’s when you pray or have prayed, is for you to be RULED afterwards, by what you see or what the circumstances around present before you; and you not being RULED and EARNESTLY garrison by what you wants to see happen in the LIGHT of God’s WORD in His grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Know for sure and certainly that between WHEN YOU PRAY to God and an ANSWER is come to fruition, your sense of focus in GRACE and FAITH is very important. Take note of it – Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7; Romans 5:1-2.

As long as you are focusing and affirming in statements of what you are seeing, you can never have what you wants from Father God in Christ. But when you stay assured and in confidence and focus on what you wants to see, and not ruled and governed by what you are seeing, there’s no force that will stop your request from not coming to fruition and reality.

That’s what happens when you go thinking and believing that your former days are better than your today and in some cases that your future will be in delusion. Such acts of thinking makes one unwise in receiving anything from God.

When one begin to say that their today is worst than their before you are not giving the heavens the opportunity to interfere in solving your earthly matters. Hence such attitude is considered an unwise reasoning in the kingdom operations to receive from God. For your attitude will unveil your altitudes in gratitude.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Surely OPPRESSION maketh a WISE man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart. 8 BETTER is the END of a thing than the BEGINNING thereof: and the patient in spirit is BETTER than the proud in spirit. 9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for ANGER resteth in the BOSOM of fools. 10 SAY NOT thou, What is the cause that the FORMER days were BETTER than these? for thou dost not ENQUIRE WISELY concerning this” Ecclesiastes 7:7-10.

“For I say, through the GRACE given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH INTO THIS GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“Let us HOLD FAST THE PROFESSION OF OUR FAITH WITHOUT WAVERING; (for he is FAITHFUL that PROMISED)” Hebrews 10:23.

Save yourself from every form of questioning on your justified REDEMPTION in Christ; and from SIN and it’s effect in terms of these: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH, by taking a STAND UP against the enemy and cohorts in order to keep them at bay; and holding forth steadfastly the affirmation of your Faith in Christ Jesus against all odds. Amen.

Let none keep you on the low or down by any means – to bring back the memory of sin, sinful nature, setback, failures and defeat and such likes. In Christ Jesus you are PRICELESS; and have an awesome, fabulous and gorgeous WORTH in grace.

Your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus is a DONE DEED – Period! STAND ON it And FOR it daily – no matter what. Be steadfast and steadily STANDING ON your REDEMPTION GROUND; and to keep STANDING AGAINST any contrary.

Meaning be more CONSCIOUSNESS of who YOU ARE in CHRIST JESUS, than of what SATAN and COHORTS are in SIN and FAILURE CONSCIOUSNESS.

When you give the enemy and cohorts NO ATTENTION, they will give you NO DIRECTION to travel along.

DON’T BE A WALK OVER BELIEVER BY ANYONE OR ANYTHING – RATHER – BE EMBOLDENED TO TAKE AND MAKE A STAND ON YOUR BELIEVE – NO MATTER WHAT.

Have A Blessed Day in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

HEREIN ARE SOME WISDOM NUGGETS – SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION:

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION of our FAITH without WAVERING; (for he is FAITHFUL that promised;)” Hebrews 10:23.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST in the FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of ALL GRACE, who hath CALLED us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGHTEN, SETTLE you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-12.

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST the WILES of the devil. . . 14 STAND therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness” Ephesians 6:11, 14.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW creature (creation, Person, personality): OLD things are passed away; behold, all things are become NEW . . . 21 For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who knew no SIN; that we MIGHT be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:17, 21 (Emphasis mine)

“Who hath DELIVERED us from the power of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:13-14.

“Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the promise of the Spirit through faith” Galatians 3:13-14.

MONTH DECEMBER 2020: EMMANUEL – JESUS THE CHRIST – BORN IN OUR HEARTS!

Month DECEMBER as all know, is the Month TWELVE (12) of the Georgian 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.

While Month DECEMBER is unique in many ways, in terms of been the twelve as mentioned above, it’s also gracious to enhance the goodness and blessedness of the BEAUTY in DECEMBER as per the Scriptural writs of the month DECEMBER theme:

“For unto you is born THIS DAY in the city of David a SAVIOUR, which is Christ the Lord” Luke 2:11.

“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST” Matthew 16:20.

“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.

THIS DAY – BEING TODAY – LET – EMMANUEL – JESUS THE CHRIST – BE BORN – IN YOUR HEARTS. Upon this phrase in terms that the Month DECEMBER 2020 is Themed.

EMMANUEL – mean – God With Us – thus signifies God dwelling (or comes to dwell) with humanity – thereby creates a new passage for a new kind of RELATIONSHIP between us and Him. We lost this FELLOWSHIP in Eden of Adam; but God in His LOVE at the Birth of JESUS The Christ, RESTORED this awesome FELLOWSHIP to enhance our RELATIONSHIP In Him, in the CAUSE of His REDEMPTION for us in Christ Jesus stead.

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 on earth again, so we can say that as He is, so are we in this world and can joyfully ask of His will in our domain on this side of heaven call the earth as it’s written in the Holy Writ – 1 John 4:17, Matthew 6:10. This is the REASON then for the SEASON, the DECEMBER mood that comes along with CHRISTMAS which thus is:

“The Yearly And Annual COMMEMORATION And CELEBRATION of God’s LOVE In Christ Jesus And His REDEMPTION CAUSE On EARTH”

It is as we EXPLORE this relationship and fellowship of JESUS The Christ and as our God EMMANUEL, who is now here living – IN us, FOR us and WITH us – that is when our PATH OF LIFE is ordered and we can then enjoy to the FULNESS the abounding PLEASURES of God in His grace and BLESSEDNESS forevermore.

Today as in this Month DECEMBER that prelude the CHRISTMAS season, let us take advantage of the indwelling EMMANUEL – JESUS the Christ, to enjoy continuously, God’s presence in fellowship with us 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’ name, Amen!

There Is The Need For A VOICE Not An ECHO In Today’s World

There Is The Need For A VOICE Not An ECHO In Today’s World: Especially In The WILDERNESS of Life – Be The VOICE!

God EYES is going to and fro through the earth and in the business of making and raising a VOICE that will speak forth graciously and gracefully to the worlds about them with an answer of the WORD of HOPE, FAITH and LOVE. I dare on you to join the journey today. But it known that God is not about the ECHO, CONFUSIONIST and NOISE MAKERS that are distorting or will distort the good will of the worlds about them and their community. For God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION; and where His Spirit is at work, there is LIBERATION, WHOLENESS, PEACE and FREEDOM; and not involved in the CONFUSION that’s resulting to SCHISM today. God is not confused neither does He confused His own. 1 Corinthians 14:33; 2 Corinthians 3:17; 1 Corinthians 12:3.

When people are in life VALLEYS and the MOUNTAINS and HILLS seems so high; and the life roads seems so ROUGH; and the path of life and path for life seems so CROOKED; what they need is a VOICE not an ECHO, CONFUSIONIST and NOISE MAKERS to speak into their life. They need a VOICE, such that the Mountain and hills becomes a plain, the valley is exalted, the rough road becomes smooth and the crooked path becomes straight.

And today I am asking you – Are you then a VOICE or an ECHO, CONFUSIONIST and NOISE MAKER? Won’t you love to be God’s VOICE to the worlds about you, especially your family and the community you surround yourself with? Examine within and make it right today. Be a VOICE in today’s world and not an ECHO, a CONFUSIONIST and NOISE MAKER. God is in the making of a VOICE as you. A VOICE with NO VILE in the MOUTH, but GRACIOUS and PRECIOUS within. And If you intend to be God’s MOUTH piece, His earthly VOICE vessel, there is the need to empty the VILE from the PRECIOUS within. For out of the abundance of the hearts, a VOICE is known by the heavens to be His MOUTH piece.

THERE IS THE NEED FOR A VOICE NOT AN ECHO IN TODAY’S WORLD – ESPECIALLY IN THE WILDERNESS OF LIFE – BE THE VOICE

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“A good man out of the GOOD TREASURE of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the EVIL TREASURE of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART HIS MOUTH SPEAKETH” Luke 6:45 (Matthew 12:34).

“And all bare him WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22.

“Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the PRECIOUS from the VILE, thou shalt BE AS MY MOUTH: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them” Jeremiah 15:19.

“For the EYES of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to SHEW HIMSELF STRONG in the BEHALF of them whose HEART is PERFECT toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars” 2 Chronicles 16:9.

“Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituræa and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, THE WORD of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the WILDERNESS. 3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; 4 as it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The VOICE of one crying in the WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 5 Every VALLEY shall be FILLED, and every MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be brought LOW; and the CROOKED shall be made STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH ways shall be made SMOOTH; 6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God” Luke 3:1-6.

“The VOICE of him that crieth in THE WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every VALLEY shall be EXALTED, and every MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be made LOW: and the CROOKED shall be made STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH places PLAIN: 5 and the GLORY of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and all flesh shall see it together: for the MOUTH of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11

WELCOME FRIENDS TO THE HAPPY, BLESSED AND EMMANUEL MONTH: A BETTER ENDING NOT A BITTER ENDING MONTH – DECEMBER 2020!

In this CONSUMMATION Month – DECEMBER 2020, it’s not over yet until God says its over. Therefore don’t postpone, give up, get angry, get upset, get worried, close in, close up and afraid to PROCRASTINATE your gracious and graceful ending by saying BETTER DAYS OR MONTH IS GONE, that’s not a WISE SAYING or statement to make in the FAITH in Christ Jesus stead wherein you stand in Him. 1 Timothy 3:9, Romans 5:1-2. Therefore, SAY TO YOURSELF:

I AM GOING TO HAVE A BETTER ENDING AND NOT A BITTER ENDING WITH DECEMBER 2020

And More importantly, the knowing that EMMANUEL – God With Us, will be COMMEMORATED and CELEBRATED in order to express – God’s Love in Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on earth. That should make you Jump up and shout joyfully with an exceedingly great joy, giving an outstanding Hurrah – HALLELUJAH; because you are still here to witness the day in and day out, as it unfolds graciously and gracefully – indicating your PURPOSE in life is still there.

Knowing You’ve been very great as a FACEBOOK friend through this days, weeks and years, I just wants to say ‘THANK YOU’ for being special and to let you know that – JESUS LOVES AND CARES ABOUT YOU, EVEN SO DO I, IN HIS STEAD. AMEN.

I am Praying that you will end and close the Year 2020 by MONTH DECEMBER in a – BETTER and STRONGER POSITION, and not in a BITTER and WEAKER POSITION. Say AMEN to God’s FAITHFULNESS with me if and when you believe.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
