THIS DECEMBER – THIS CHRISTMAS: LIVE WITHIN YOUR FAITH BY GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!
“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by HIS faith” Habakkuk 2:4.
“Therefore I tell you, STOP BEING WORRIED or ANXIOUS (perpetually uneasy, distracted) about your life, as to what you will EAT or what you will DRINK; nor about your BODY, as to what you will WEAR. Is LIFE not more than food, and the BODY more than clothing? . . .” Matthew 6:25-34/Amplified.
In this Month DECEMBER – during the cause of this CHRISTMAS, it’s wise and expedient that you LIVE within your FAITH of God in Christ Jesus; that means, you must avoid, endeavour to run away and to completely keep at bay, the attitude of living beyond your resources in the name of celebrations; that means also to ENSURE that you do apply this prudence principle that assures good decision for your own good and goodness:
“RUN AWAY FROM THE DRIVE TO BUY TODAY IN DEBT – AND TO PAY LATER [TOMORROW] IN WORRY, PAIN, DEPRESSION, FEAR AND SUCH LIKE”
It’s PEACE and GOOD WILL toward men, we are promised in the scriptures and not a BROKEN, TROUBLED, TRAUMATISED, ANXIOUS and DEPRESSED spirit because of the INDEBTEDNESS and INFIGHTINGS within oneself and with others – all in the name of CHRISTMAS bad decisions – which results from the spirit of, the buying in INDEBTEDNESS to end up having no rest of the mind and of the PEACE, GOODWILL and TRANQUILITY as SCRIPTURALLY promised.
“And the angel said unto them, FEAR NOT: for, behold, I bring you GOOD TIDINGS of great JOY, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is BORN THIS DAY in the city of David a SAVIOUR, which is Christ the Lord . . . 14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth PEACE, GOOD WILL toward men” Luke 2:10-14.
“Do NOT be ANXIOUS or WORRIED about ANYTHING, but in EVERYTHING [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And the PEACE of God [that peace which REASSURES the heart, that peace] which TRANSCENDS all understanding, [that peace which] STANDS guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]” Philippians 4:6-8/Amplified.
You need not let what you can’t have or give ruin your faith and faithfulness because of – This CHRISTMAS in this DECEMBER. Therefore, in this Christmas, don’t be indebted, live within your faith and enjoy a peaceful life for the moment.
“LET NOT THE SPIRIT TO BUY IN DEBT TODAY AND KEEP WORRYING AFTERWARDS TO RUIN YOUR JOY AND RELATIONSHIP IN VIEW”.
Your HAPPINESS, JOY and PEACE are within your reach, don’t mess it up with a BROKEN, TROUBLED, TRAUMATISED and DEPRESSED spirit of indebtedness. Be in control and custodian of your WELL-BEING and let not COMPARISON of others and the LUST to show off, ruin your gracious happiness in Christ Jesus and family you love and care about, in such a time as – THIS CHRISTMAS!
Let it be ‘MERRY CHRISTMAS’ and not a ‘SADDENED INDEBTEDNESS CHRISTMAS’ for you, family, love ones and all those you care about.
LIFE IS WORTH LIVING – ONLY BY FAITH FOR THE JUSTIFIED IN CHRIST JESUS.
A MERRY AND BLESSED CHRISTMAS I WISH YOU IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“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; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:17).
“And the angel said unto them, FEAR NOT: for, behold, I bring you GOOD TIDINGS of great JOY, which shall be to all people. 11 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 2:10-14.
“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN his INFIRMITY; but a WOUNDED (BROKEN) spirit who can bear?” Proverbs 18:14 (Emphasis Mine).
“A MERRY heart doeth GOOD like a MEDICINE: but a BROKEN spirit DRIETH the bones” Proverbs 17:22.
“Therefore I tell you, STOP BEING WORRIED or ANXIOUS (perpetually uneasy, distracted) about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, as to what you will wear. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow [seed] nor reap [the harvest] nor gather [the crops] into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they? 27 And who of you by worrying can add one [a]hour to [the length of] his life? 28 And why are you worried about clothes? See how the lilies and wildflowers of the field grow; they do not labor nor do they spin [wool to make clothing], 29 yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory and splendor dressed himself like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive and green today and tomorrow is [cut and] thrown [as fuel] into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! 31 Therefore do not worry or be anxious (perpetually uneasy, distracted), saying, ‘What are we going to eat?’ or ‘What are we going to drink?’ or ‘What are we going to wear?’ 32 For the [pagan] Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; [but do not worry,] for your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also 34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” Matthew 6:25-34/Amplified.
