CHRIST, THE REASON FOR THE SEASON

ISAIAH 9:6

MERRY CHRISTMAS to us all. I wish everyone of us a wonderful celebration. 


All thanks be to JESUS who has kept us from January till this very moment, I wouldn't have made it without Him, I don't know about you?


Thank you JESUS, you have done all things well, you have crowned the year with goodness and I am not ashamed to declare it boldly before the world.


Before the schools closed for the year, my daughter was asked to perform a role in the end of the year party. 


A number of them were asked to represent a letter of the word CHRISTMAS and recite a short poem on what each letter stands for. She was chosen to be letter 'I'. 


For many days before the day of presentation, she would recite the poem for me over and over again and ask me to listen to it. 


Something really touched my heart in that poem each time she recited it for me. 


She would say, "I am letter 'I', I stands for Israel, the land where He was born. Christ may be born a thousand times but it would be in vain if He is not born in me". 


That later part always touched me, how true it is that even if He is born a thousand times it will all be a waste if He is not born in each one of us personally. 


I hope the audience she recited the poem to really got the message that poem was trying to convey to them and not just see it as a child's recitation at the end of the year christmas party and clapped the message off? 


I hope it had the same effect on them as it had on me each time she recited it for me? It was a serious message she was trying to pass across hidden in a child's poem.


Christmas is here again and the festive mood is in the air, a lot of preparations here and there, hypes and excitements. 


Are we really getting the message this season is trying to pass across to us? We are actually celebrating the birth of a Saviour who is alive and active in us not just a Saviour born some 2000 years ago. 


JESUS is alive and very active now as He was when He was born many many years ago. 


But is He alive in you? Has He been born in you or you are still seeing Him as the one born in a manger in Bethlehem. 


If that is how you still see Him, you are missing the most vital message of this season. 


Truly, He was born in a manger in Bethlehem but has He been born a second time in you? When they say Christ is the reason for the season, this is what it means. 


Don't just enjoy the excitement and hype of this season and forget the message it is meant to convey, HAS CHRIST BEEN BORN IN YOU? 


Salvation is found in none else, for there is no name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved, except the name of Jesus. 


You may be reading this post and you have not yet given your life to Jesus. 


This is another opportunity for you to make that decision for Jesus by saying this prayer and mean it genuinely from your heart: 


Lord Jesus, I love You with all my heart. I believe that You are the Son of God that died and she'd His blood for my sins. 


Today, I receive Your life and I declare that I am Yours. Congratulations you are now born again.


PEACE


SALVATION PRAYER


Anything short of you being born again and living a life of holiness and purity hurt Jesus so much. But you can make things right here and now by saying this simple prayer and mean it genuinely from your heart:


 Lord Jesus I come to you today. I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I cannot help myself. I repent of all my sins and I forsake them. Jesus, I invite you into my life, be my Lord, be my Saviour. 


Wash me by your precious blood, forgive my sins and write my name in the book of life. From this day, I promise to follow you all the rest of my life. Help me Lord, in Jesus name, Amen. Congratulations you are now born again!


PEACE

LESSONS FROM THE SHIPWRECK  Acts 27&28 Sometimes God brings about deliverance painfully slow. He seems to take all His time. It is because what God wants you to get out of that situation is far more than just being delivered.  Sometimes what you come out with is not just the testimony of deliverance or promotion, an anointing comes upon you on the other side of it.  It is not just an affliction, it is also your test. So instead of God bringing you out at once, He makes you walk through the length and breath of the situation and then brings you out on the other side. If you can get and sustain God's perspective on any situation the problem is 50% solved.  You can't enter the house of a strong man and spoil his goods without first binding the strong man, Mark 3;27 You are a strong man and satan cannot spoil your goods without first binding you and his first weapon for binding people is fear.  He uses fear to paralyze people. It is his chiefest weapon, Hebrews 2:15 If God can

THEY THAT BE PLANTED Psalm 92:13&14 Sometimes in life we hurry and move from place to place only to find out we have never really left one spot.  But atimes we remain in one physical location for long, only to find out that we have reached the world even from that one spot.  The Bible talks about being planted in one spot and from that spot the shadow of your branches will spread and cover the hills and mountains and you will spread your boughs and root to the seas and rivers, Psalm 80:8-11. The blessings of God are not place dependent they are His will dependent.  People keep making that mistake over and over again and till tomorrow they will keep making it but you can exempt yourself from that statistics. You cam be in one spot and kings of the earth will come and meet you in that one spot and bring you out, that is the description of a man God is working it.  People will seek out the grace from wherever it is hiding whether in the wilderness, desert or bush.  They remain at thei

GAINING MASTERY OVER CHANGES IN TIMES AND SEASONS Genesis 8:22 Spiritual seasons comes to an end as well as Natural seasons. One thing you must learn early in your walk with God is flexibility. Flexibility and alignment goes hand in hand. This is why...... God is dynamic (John 3:8), life is dynamic and we should also be dynamic.  Seasons change but a Christian that will live above the changing times and seasons is the one that has the flexibility to be evolving above the demands of the times and seasons.  God doesn't change but He moves and his strategies and methods change from time to time to match the changes in times and seasons.  That you are moving doesn't mean you are changing. Change and movement are two different things entirely.  In the minds of many it means the same thing especially where God is concerned.  Sometimes the changes in times and seasons are caused by demonic orchestrations and marshalled as attack against our spiritual life, Exodus 5:7 The victory lies
