WELCOME TO EMMANUEL MONTH – DECEMBER 2024: MONTH OF ENACTING – “EMMANUEL – THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US” – IN CHRIST JESUS!

“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 breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 and TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH [TRANSCENDS] KNOWLEDGE [SENSES], that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19/Emphasis Mine.

I sincerely welcome you to the EMMANUEL month – DECEMBER 2024; It is the Month to experience the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus, that transcends the reasoning of the senses [see, hear, feel/touch, smell and taste] – that’s the LOVE OF GOD WITH US that’s beyond sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation; and it’s the month of experiencing, expressing and enacting the genuity of – THE LOVE OF GOD THAT’S BEYOND KNOWLEDGE – in Christ Jesus that’s dwelling WITH us as IN us and FOR us. So therefore, under God and in God’s divine names in Christ Jesus, I hereby WELCOME you with the hearts of love in Christ Jesus stead, to join me in EMMANUEL MONTH – month DECEMBER 2024 that’s entitled “THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US” in Christ Jesus; it is the month for us to KNOW THE LOVE OF GOD THAT TRANSCEND SENSE KNOWLEDGE as we do life and godly living in the Month with this knowing and understanding that it is also:

THE COMMEMORATION AND CELEBRATIONS OF GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS AND HIS REDEMPTION CAUSE ON EARTH TO ALL MANKIND.

I am fully persuaded and excited, knowing and understanding by God’s enabling grace that the month DECEMBER as entitled – “THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US” in Christ Jesus, is beyond the beyond human sense knowledge. And it is about EMMANUEL, the God WITH US and the God IN US and the God FOR US, which is the person of JESUS THE CHRIST – The MESSIAH, The SAVIOUR and The LORD – that’s BORN in our HEARTS by the Holy Spirit that’s given and lavished to us, in order to express the God’s love that’s beyond knowledge – senses in our being.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE OF GOD is shed [lavished] abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN UNTO US. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ DIED for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5-8.

The Month DECEMBER 2024, as we 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 – THE LOVE OF GOD IN JESUS THE CHRIST – The MESSIAH, THE SAVIOUR AND LORD GOD – BE BORN IN YOUR HEARTS as you do life to live godly as themed:

“EMMANUEL! THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US”

The theme as stated is of EMMANUEL – The GOD WITH US. For EMMANUEL indicates – THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE that’s WITH US – and thus signifies God dwelling (or had come to dwell) with humanity – thereby creates a new passage for a new kind of RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP between us and Him that’s built on love and the love of the Fatherhood of God, making a family in Christ Jesus. For 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.

“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” Ephesians 3:14-16.

God in humanity is JESUS in name; while CHRIST depicts Him as – the EMMANUEL, 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 of GOD’S LOVE in Christ Jesus, so 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 LOVE in His PRESENCE in this RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP of JESUS – THE CHRIST, who is our God EMMANUEL, we can then ENACT Him in IN us, FOR us and WITH us; and when our PATH OF LIFE is ordered alright 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/NLT; 1 Corinthians 1:9].

Therefore today, as in this Month DECEMBER that prelude the CHRISTMAS season, let’s take advantage of the indwelling LOVE of God in EMMANUEL – JESUS the Christ, in order 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 – THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US – in the personal of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, comes to be in your life, in this Month DECEMBER, this season that prelude the Christmas, in Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Be BLESSED in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.
