The Christmas REASON

The Christmas REASON: The Expression SEASON of God’s LOVE to HUMANITY – in RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP!

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

“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.

This December . . . and in This Christmas, the season is more than just celebrations and commemoration season. It’s about you enacting and authenticating your LOVE to God as He does toward you in Christ Jesus in order for you to fulfill your life given purpose in Him.

“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.

“But as it is written, EYE hath not seen, nor EAR heard, neither have entered into the HEART of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE Him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things, yea, the DEEP things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

And I know, that, by the 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 BLESSEDNESS beyond the right to birth-marked, they have to engage in a constant FELLOWSHIP to know and understand the path to it – and that path undertaking, it’s their RESPONSIBILITY to make it happen.

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 the FELLOWSHIP decorum with Him in Christ Jesus stead. For Lord and Savour Jesus Christ, though He’s God’s son in relationship, has to learn OBEDIENCE through FELLOWSHIP in same scenario in order to obtaining of God all it takes to be, while in humanity as us today.

“. . . 5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 7 Who in the DAYS of his FLESH [HUMANITY], when he had OFFERED up PRAYERS [FELLOWSHIP] and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to SAVE him from death, and was heard in that He FEARED [REVEREND]; 8 though he were a Son, yet LEARNED HE OBEDIENCE by the things which he suffered; 9 and being made perfect, he became the AUTHOR of eternal salvation unto all them that OBEY him; 10 CALLED of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec” Hebrews 5:1-10/Emphasis Mine.

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

“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.

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

Hence Month December and this Christmas 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.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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).

“But God FORBID that I should glory, SAVE in the CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is CRUCIFIED unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16.

“I am CRUCIFIED with Christ: nevertheless I LIVE; yet not I, but Christ LIVETH in me: and the LIFE which I now LIVE in the flesh I LIVE by the faith of the Son of God, who LOVED me, and GAVE himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21.
