God Came For Us
“But the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people . The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today” Luke 2:10-11[emphasis added].
Since Christmas is about good news, what then is the good news about Christmas? Is the good news the supernatural birth by a virgin? Or is the good news the fact that there is a lot of feasting in this season? Or is the good news the gifts you have received or are about to receive? What is the good news about Christmas? I will illustrate this with a story. I went to a boarding school in Read the rest of this entry
The Focus
“But the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David” Luke 2:10-11 [emphasis added]
If we all agree that Jesus came to this world, then, I submit to you that the exact day is not important. In fact, we can celebrate Christmas every day and it will still be relevant! So why would we allow a tradition that started up from a non-Christian background and we would adopt it as a day to celebrate Christ? It is simply because you need to meet the culture where they are Read the rest of this entry
He Is Jesus!
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” Isa.9:6 [KJV]
We can never thank God enough for what Christmas represents to every believer. I pray that the purpose of Christmas will be fulfilled in your Life, in Jesus Name. It is so powerful to go into God’s Presence and to celebrate the reason for life – Christ, the Son of the Living God. Christmas is the reason really for living because of what it signifies. It is because of Christmas that we have Read the rest of this entry
For Love
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16
The most popular scripture in the Bible is, “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16 [emphasis added]. What actually motivated God to give Jesus to us was love. Jesus said, “For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost” Luke 19:10 [emphasis added]. Please Read the rest of this entry
Heart Affairs IV
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him” John 4:23 [emphasis added]
Worship actually starts with what you cannot bring to God. Our hearts are ushered into true worship with the honest confession that we are empty. We cannot begin to enter and access true worship if we do not get to that honest confession that we are actually empty and there is nothing we can really bring to God. Worship does not start with what you can bring, it actually starts with what you cannot Read the rest of this entry
Under New Management
‘For Scriptures say, “As surely as I live’, says the Lord, ‘every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will confess and give praise to God. Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God’ Rom.14:11-12
Accept that Jesus is God. Believe that Jesus is able to make you all that God has called you to be. Believe that He is able to break every bad thing in your life. Believe that He loves you and that He is in control of your life. Believe totally that He is in control. If a bird in the air cannot fall to the ground without my Father’s permission, my life is not by chance [Luke 12:6-7]. Commit to following Him. Commit to obeying the words from His mouth. Commit to living according to His will and purpose for you. You must commit the rest of your life to following His plan for your life. If you have a problem with Read the rest of this entry
Just For You II
‘…My purpose is to give then a rich and satisfying life. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep’ John 10:10-11.
Jesus showed up for you! Jesus bore the gift of heaven for you. You have heard it said that Jesus is the reason for the season, right? And that is true but the greater truth is that you are the reason for the season. You are the reason Jesus came. Think about it, why else did Jesus come? Why would God leave heaven and come if we didn’t need help? On that day when I stood alone at visiting day and all the cars were disappearing one after the other, it dawned on me that the reason for the visiting day was me – the student. The parents that came, came to refresh us. I know that religious people Read the rest of this entry
Just For You I
‘This is real love – not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins’ 1John 4:10
The All-Powerful God became helpless, at the “mercy” of Joseph and Mary, the amateur parents. Secondly, God came as a human being because man messed up and man had to fix it up. God became a human being because it will take man to put straight what man messed up. Christmas is such a big deal because of the relevance of Christmas. Christ, God came to earth and became a man. The Bible puts it this way; ‘For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin’ Heb.4:15 [NKJV]. Jesus understands the Read the rest of this entry
Glad Tidings
‘Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people’ Luke 2:10 [NKJV]
In this season and always, we trust that the Lord Jesus Himself will breathe upon us Himself. We thank God for Christmas. Christmas is a very fantastic time of the year. A lot of us get the buzz of Christmas then after a while we loose the buzz of Christmas. For some other people, they do not even understand what Christmas is all about. And the question that arises is, what is the big deal about Christmas?. What is the big deal about Christmas anyway? In the culture that we Read the rest of this entry
God Found You!
‘The woman left her water jar beside the well and ran back to the village, telling everyone, “Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could he possibly be the Messiah?’ John 4:28-29
One of the best ways of saying thank you to Jesus is to follow Jesus step by step and to grow. Growing people change. And when you follow Jesus your life changes and it oozes out an aroma to God. Your life becomes a living sacrifice to God. The second way in my opinion of saying thank you to Jesus is to bring others to Jesus. In fact it is difficult to be really saved and to be quiet about it because found people find people. It is very difficult to keep quiet because if you are saved, you will have people that you love and you will be Read the rest of this entry
