THIS CHRISTMAS – THIS DECEMBER – MAKE IT YOUR FAMILY TIME

THIS CHRISTMAS – THIS DECEMBER – MAKE IT YOUR FAMILY TIME: MAY YOU KNOW THE LOVE OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS I PRAY!

“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 . . . 17 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 BREATH, and LENGHT, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH (TRANSCENDS AND SURPASSES) KNOWLEDGE (HUMAN SENSES), THAT YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD . . .” Ephesians 3:14-21

CHRISTMAS is a bonding time for families and those we care about. And one gracious and graceful great thing about Christmas and THIS CHRISTMAS – it’s a time to SETTLE SCORES, FORGIVE and JUSTIFY others, EMBRACE and STRENGTHEN relationships. Although in some homes and families, it’s the opposite today and even now – for them it’s a time for in-fighting, counting wrongs, blames, creating more confusion, retaliation and revenge and such like. These various failures in human limitations ought not to be so any more – simply because of the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus in us today and always should be; and this Love of God in Christ Jesus in us, thus SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS our human (Sense) KNOWLEDGE;  and this Love of God in Christ Jesus has been shed and showed in our hearts by the Holy Spirit that is given to us, and that indwells in us also, in all of God’s redemption, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth His LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

I therefore PRAY as Apostle Paul for you today and even now – that you may KNOW and UNDERSTAND the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus that SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS your human concept of five senses KNOWLEDGE through God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus that concerns you, family and those you care about. May this love of God captivates you to give the needed leverage and enabling for you to enjoy the FULNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Make THIS CHRISTMAS your NEW DAY and NEW BEGINNING of expressing daily the LOVE of GOD in CHRIST JESUS which SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS your human five senses KNOWLEDGE concept in all you do to self, family, colleagues and your fellow human beings and mankind.

I WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS – AND A BLESSED CELEBRATION AND COMMEMORATION OF GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

“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; 17 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 BREATH, and LENGHT, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH (TRANSCENDS AND SURPASSES) KNOWLEDGE (HUMAN SENSES), THAT YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD. 20 Now unto him that is ABLE to DO EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL all that we ASK or THINK, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen” Ephesians 3:14-21/Emphasis Mine.

“Let LOVE be without hypocrisy. ABHOR what is EVIL. Cling to what is good. 10 Be KINDLY AFFECTIONATE to one another with brotherly LOVE, in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 DISTRIBUTING to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. 14 BLESS those who PERSECUTE you; BLESS and do not CURSE. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. 17 REPAY no one EVIL FOR EVIL. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, LIVE PEACEABLY with all men. 19 Beloved, do not AVENGE yourselves, but rather GIVE place to WRATH; for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore “IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM; IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” 21 Do not be OVERCOME by evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:9-21.

“If THINE ENEMY be HUNGRY, GIVE him BREAD to EAT; and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him WATER to DRINK: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . .13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, BUT BY LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER” Galatians 5:6, 13.

“When a MAN’S WAYS PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that COMETH to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.
