SO MUCH MORE

 Text: Isaiah 9:6.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given;   and the government will be upon his shoulder,   and his name is called   Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,   Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Two days ago was Christmas day. Yesterday was tagged boxing day and today, you may be tempted to think the celebration is over. No, the King of kings can't be boxed into two days celebration. He is to be celebrated and praised forever.

When Herod heard about His birth, he took him for just any child he can kill at his command. No, He is more than a child. He was not just a child, He is a child that carries the government on His shoulder. 'And of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end.' Isaiah 9:7.

He is so much more than the new dresses you bought for this festive season. He is so much more than the special delicacies. He is so much more than all the decorations. He is so much more than the beautiful carols and lightings. He is so much more than jamboree and carnivals. 

He is the ever reigning King. He is wonderful, Counselor,  the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. When the wise men saw Him, they worshipped Him. Matthew 2:11.

If the Prince of Peace is in your life, you are to worship with your life. *Your highest worship is your total submission to His will.* He is much more than a child, He's a lamb and a Lion. Let your life be your utmost worship unto Him.

Bible Reading :

Matthew 2:1-12.


PRAYER FOCUS


1.) Lord, I yield the totality of my life to you in total surrender.

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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
