GIVING GOD A MERRY CHRISTMAS THANKS: LET US COMMEMORATE AND CELEBRATE HIM – JESUS THE CHRIST – THE UNSPEAKABLE GIFT OF GOD!
“THANKS be unto God for his UNSPEAKABLE (INDESCRIBABLE) GIFT” 2 Corinthians 9:15 (Emphasis Mine).
Am emboldened to say that there’s NO CONTROVERSY to the birth of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. And, there’s no GIFT on the face of the earth that can match, quantify and qualify to the unspeakable, indescribable and unmatchable gift of God to all mankind in the person of – JESUS THE CHRIST.
Therefore, let us commemorate and celebrate Him with our hearts of THANKS-GIVING to our God for His undeniable and irrevocable gift to all mankind, that this day has been slotted and set aside to mark His birth in LOVE and His REDEMPTION cause on earth to all of mankind.
“For there is one God, and one MEDIATOR between God and men, the MAN CHRIST JESUS” 1 Timothy 2:5.
“Neither is there SALVATION in any other: for there is NONE other name UNDER heaven GIVEN among men, whereby we must be SAVED” Acts 4:12.
I pray you will make time today, this day, this Christmas day, to commemorate and celebrate in THANKSGIVING for your BLESSEDNESS in THANKS LIVING – the REASON for the SEASON in the person of – JESUS THE CHRIST. Amen.
Wishing you a gracious and graceful MERRY CHRISTMAS!

“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST (Messiah, Saviour, Anointed One)” Matthew 16:20 (Emphasis Mine).
“. . . 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall SAVE his people from their sins . . .” Matthew 1:18-25.
“For the Son of man is COME to SEEK and to SAVE that which was LOST” Luke 19:10.
“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God SENT not his Son into the WORLD to CONDEMN the WORLD; but that the WORLD through HIM might be SAVED. 18 He that BELIEVETH on HIM is not CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED already, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only BEGOTTEN Son of God” John 3:16-18.
“And this is the RECORD, that God hath GIVEN to us ETERNAL LIFE, and this LIFE is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” 1 John 5:11-12.
“And WITHOUT CONTROVERSY great is the MYSTERY of GODLINESS: God was MANIFEST in the FLESH, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.

THIS DECEMBER – IS ALL ABOUT THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS: LETS COMMEMORATE AND CELEBRATE HIM IN EVERYWAY!
“Now THE BIRTH of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost . . . 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins . . . 23 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 1:18-25.
CHRIST JESUS – He’s the reason for the season. He’s the reason for the celebration. Outside Him there’s no authentic and genuine reason that can be efficacious. And He’s THE WORD, the GOD MANIFEST in humanity. The WORD that’s able to do wholesome division and separation, of the human spirit, soul and body respectively; and all creatures are laid bare before Him in doing life and living godly. He’s THE WORD that the Holy Angel’s harkened unto in life and grace. He’s the sent one of the trinity God, who came for humanity good and goodness and there’s NO CONTROVERSY of any sorts about Him..
For me, when you take Christ from ‘CHRISTMAS’ you have ‘MAS’ which means ‘MAN AT SELF’ while with Christ it means ‘MAN AT SUFFICIENCY’.
CHRISTMAS means – A yearly commemoration and Celebration of God’s love to mankind in the birth of our Lord & Saviour Christ Jesus and His cause on earth.
CHRIST means – The anointed one, Messiah, Saviour, The Redeemer and more; while MASS means – to Celebrate, to observe and commemorate.
Therefore, in this Month DECEMBER, let’s commemorate and celebrate Him for He is indeed born in our hearts and in our being. His birth is the rebirth of:
*Peace and goodwill toward men
*Hope, Faith & Love for men
*Fellowship and Relationship
*Salvation for all mankind and more.
However, as wonderful as Christmas commemoration and celebration is, be it known that Christ is enthroned. He’s no longer:
* The babe in the manger
* The servant to death
* The limited one and
* The Christ on the Cross.
He’s now the:
* God on the throne
* Omnipotent- (unlimited, all powerful)
* Omnipresent – (ever present, everywhere the same time) and
* Omniscience (all knowing, all understanding and all wise).
May Christ be all above to you, this Day, this Christmas and this month December. I pray you have a blessed celebration and commemoration.

“For THE WORD of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, PENETRATING as far as the DIVISION of the soul and spirit [the COMPLETENESS of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and JUDGING the very THOUGHTS and INTENTIONS of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is CONCEALED from His sight, but all things are OPEN and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 Amplified.

CHRIST JESUS – THE WISDOM AND POWER OF GOD: MAKE HIM SAVIOUR AND LORD – THIS CHRISTMAS!
The crave for KNOWLEDGE to me is the LEGACY of STRENGHT – and only the WISE knows its WORTH!
A MERRY AND BLESSED CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND ALL YOU LOVE AND CARE ABOUT
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“A WISE man is STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth STRENGHT” Proverbs 24:5.
“WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.
“WHO IS AS THE WISE MAN? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE TO SHINE, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.
“For the PREACHING of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the WISDOM of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, AND THE WISDOM OF GOD. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 that no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.

GOOD SUCCESS: IT’S ABOUT BEING FULFILLED IN CHRIST JESUS!
“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED TO THE MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it.” Colossians 4:17.
My spiritual father and mentor in the Lord of blessed memory once said:
“SUCCESS WITHOUT A SUCCESSOR IS FAILURE IN DISGUISE”
Taking a stand on wisdom nugget stand above, it thus means, it’s not enough to wake up, count your chickens and say I’m a SUCCESS – that is to say, there is NO TRUE SUCCESS when you have not REPRODUCE yourself in the life of someone or others who goes to make others a SUCCESS in succession.
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy MOUTH; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE to do according to all that is written THEREIN: for then thou shalt make thy WAY PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” Joshua 1:8-9.
In the light of the Scriptures, GOOD SUCCESS begins with the WORD in your MOUTH and the Word content in your spirit-heart of meditation. THINK ABOUT IT. [Joshua 1:8. Romans 10:8-10; Psalms 19:14. Proverbs 18:20-21].
I know SUCCESS in terms is RELATIVE. But GOOD SUCCESS is about BEING FULFILLED in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, that is to say – laying hold to eternal reward from God, having reproduce your you in life, in the cause of God’s mandate and assignment in your life.
“A man’s BELLY shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT of his MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE: and they that LOVE it shall eat the FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.
“And all bare HIM [JESUS CHRIST] witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:23.
You need to THINK about FULFILMENT while you go concluding I AM A SUCCESS. Just a SUCCESS is not the FINAL, until you KEEP to the FAITH to the end in FULFILMENT of God’s PURPOSE. [Colossians 4:17; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11].
Every grace, wisdom and speed in Christ Jesus. Amen.

THIS CHRISTMAS: BE ALERT, SENSITIVE AND VIGILANT AGAINST HEROD’S PLOT!
“My son, attend to my words; INCLINE thine EAR unto my SAYINGS. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” Proverbs 4:20-23.
We do live in a challenging and difficult time, of various unprecedented and unpredictable happenings; it’s paramount that in course of this Christmas and afterwards, there’s the need to INCLINE your HEARING EARS to HEAR God – for THERE MAY BE HEROD’S PLOT knowingly and unknowingly toward you and or those you care about – and you don’t have to be a PREY and VICTIM for the ENEMY and COHORTS when the avenue to be safe and secure is made available to you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord APPEARETH to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and TAKE the young child and his mother, and FLEE into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for HEROD will seek the young child to DESTROY him. 14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: 15 and was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son” Matthew 2:13-15.
In Your MERRIMENT – It’s NEEDFUL and IMPERATIVE to HEAR God’s SAYINGS as Joseph did hear ahead of God sayings, against HEROD’S PLOT as enjoined in Matthew 2:13-15 for you to note in order to derive counsel by the wisdom nuggets below:
** Don’t be so carried away with this Christmas celebration and commemoration without being sensitive in your spiritual network towards God for you, family, loves one’s and those you care about.
** Don’t shut off or shut down the indwelling Spirit of God within you. The Spirit of God has made you and the breath of the almighty gives you life, understanding and sense of direction – Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Proverbs 20:27.
Know full well that Joseph ALERTNESS and VIGILANCE saves the day and the season for the reason. I pray you will be ALERT, SENSITIVE and VIGILANT to hear God when there’s a need and to obey accordingly also in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
This Christmas . . . This December, you need to incline your HEARING EARS to HEAR God – there may be Herod’s plot – DON’T BE A PREY OR VICTIM FOR THE ENEMY AND COHORTS.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
BLESSED CELEBRATION AND COMMEMORATION IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in LOVE, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to KNOW [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES [mere] KNOWLEDGE [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:17-19/Amplified.

MAKE YOUR CHRISTMAS – BE MORE THAN A DAY AND MOMENTARY EVENT: MAKE IT YOUR DAILY EXPERIENCE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!
“Blessed be the Lord, who DAILY loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah” Psalms 68:19.
The celebration and commemoration of God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus birth and His redemption cause on earth is what Christmas is all about. The act of Christmas should be a DAILY LIFE experience and not just A DAY EVENT – Psalms 68:19. For God is set to crown the year with His goodness and abundance day by day, and not for only one time as in month December by the Christmas.
“Thou CROWNEST the YEAR with thy GOODNESS; and thy PATHS DROP FATNESS” Psalms 65:11.
I know that as one live daily to acknowledge the purpose of God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus birth, and His redemption cause on earth, the BENEFITS of God in this intent will accompany such an individual. That’s the essence of the awakening that THIS CHRISTMAS brings – A DAILY Experience and not a MOMENTARY experience. Hence, in your acts of CHRISTMAS – even This CHRISTMAS, it’s wise to make it your daily habits and benefits – it’s your rights in life in Christ Jesus stead. For God’s mercies and steadfast faithfulness in love for you and all are refreshing and new each day.
“It is of the Lord’s MERCIES that we are not consumed, because his COMPASSIONS fail not. 23 They are NEW EVERY MORNING: great is thy FAITHFULNESS. 24 The Lord is MY PORTION, saith my soul; therefore will I HOPE in him” Lamentations 3:22-24.
It thus mean that God’s love intent for mankind in Christ Jesus at Christmas commemoration and celebration, should become a daily life DOING and EXPERIENCE; it should not become where you have to await for another year again to – look good about yourself, to put on gorgeous outfits, to appear elegant, to eat a very good healthy meal, to pay homage to family’s, friends and the love ones that you care about, to enjoy the best of God in life and to do many other charitable causes for fellow men as God have given you opportunity.
I pray you DAILY experience the goodness of God as you enact the essence of Christ Jesus in THIS CHRISTMAS, for our God do indeed CROWN the years with His goodness and abundance for our BLESSEDNESS.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
“Blessed be the Lord, who DAILY LOADETH us with BENEFITS, even the God of our salvation” Psalms 68:19.
“Thou CROWNEST the YEAR with thy GOODNESS; and thy PATHS DROP FATNESS. 12 They drop upon the PASTURES of the WILDERNESS: and the little HILLS rejoice on every side. 13 The PASTURES are clothed with FLOCKS; the VALLEYS also are COVERED over with CORN; they shout for JOY, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13.
“It is of the Lord’s MERCIES that we are not consumed, because his COMPASSIONS fail not. 23 They are NEW EVERY MORNING: great is thy FAITHFULNESS. 24 The Lord is MY PORTION, saith my soul; therefore will I HOPE in him” Lamentations 3:22-24.
“Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF, in departing from the living God. 13 But EXHORT one another DAILY, while it is called TO DAY; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made PARTAKERS of Christ, if we HOLD the beginning of our confidence STEDFAST unto the end; 15 while it is said, TO DAY if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation” Hebrews 3:12-15.

THIS CHRISTMAS – Do it without DEBT: Don’t be INDEBTED in the name of Commemoration and Celebration!
“Every man shall GIVE AS HE IS ABLE, ACCORDING to the BLESSING of the Lord thy God which he HATH GIVEN THEE” Deuteronomy 16:17.
“Every man ACCORDING as he PURPOSETH in his heart, so let him GIVE; not GRUDGINGLY, or of NECESSITY: for God loveth a CHEERFUL GIVER” 2 Corinthians 9:7.
I know in essence that carrying out the UNWRITTEN DEMANDS we place on ourselves during this Christmas season in respect of GIVING, RECEIVING and SHARING GIFT and or FOOD is enormous; you must know and understand, that though it’s a good intent which I do agree and believe totally with all graciousness and gracefulness as I cherish doing, but it known also, that it’s an unhealthy demand to place on yourself to accomplish when you don’t have the resources to act accordingly.
I hereby suggest to you – let your actions be done with what you have as the scriptures enjoined; and then act accordingly, when and where you can but not in debt and indebtedness that ends you in the sickening of your well-being. For it’s MORE gracious and graceful when you can do it cheerfully without murmuring, complaining and subjecting yourself to any form of psychological and emotional unrest.
And worst still, let not giving and sharing be done while you know that your being is spiritually disarmed to handle challenges, especially when you are behind in the repayment of some incurred indebtedness, and you know that when debt letters and or calls and or the visit of debt collectors comes knocking at your door, that the signal of depression, anguish, wrath, bitterness, regrets and such like will trigger along with other side effects.
I don’t think Christ Jesus would APPROVE all the indebtedness that people indulge themselves in the name of Christmas celebration and commemoration. Nobody is entitled to put you into debt and indebtedness in order to keep such a person happy at your expense; for you are the CUSTODIAN of your peace and happiness and none else – so guard jealously your well-being happiness without compromise to please any before you. It’s best to live within your means – that is, within your FAITH – in the joy, happiness and grace of God in Christ Jesus. For the just in Christ shall live by his/her faith in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Galatians 3:11; Romans 1:17; Hebrews 10:38].
Always know in hearts of thoughts that Jesus is risen and Enthroned. He’s no longer:
* THE BABY IN THE MANGER
* THE SERVANT ON THE CROSS
He’s the Lord God on the THRONE and He LIVES, REIGNS and RULES over ALL in ALL.
Therefore be MERRY, enjoy yourself with what you can and have available to yourself no matter how little, in the peace and grace of God in Christ Jesus stead; and where there’s more overflowing, you can then share in grace, love and peace in good will and joyfully in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS WITHOUT DEBT AND INDEBTEDNESS!
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
