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.
