The Reason For The season

Text : Luk 2:10 KJV 

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

Though the handwriting is big on the wall, yet there's need to sound the trumpet so loud over and over again about the reason for the season. Year in year out, people celebrate Christmas which actually is the celebration of the birth of Jesus. But are we really celebrating Christ? 

The angels who heralded the news about the birth of Jesus proclaimed that Jesus is *GOOD TIDINGS* of *GREAT JOY* and this shall be to *ALL PEOPLE.*

You are included in that 'ALL PEOPLE'. Have you received the good tidings? The good tidings is summarised in John 3:16.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,a but have everlasting life.

God demonstrates his love for us by the fact that the Messiah died for us while we were still sinners. Rom. 5:9.

The love of God is fully expressed towards us in Christ Jesus. This is the good tidings. If this did not culminates into great Joy in you, it simply shows that you have not received the good tidings.

Jesus is the only source of true Joy. Let His joy continually fill your heart.* 

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.Phi 4:4

Bible reading: Luke 2:8-20.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
