GOOD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY

TEXT: Luke 2:10

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

Today may not be the exact date of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, but one thing is certain: He was born on a day like this into our world.

His coming marked a turning point in human history. Heaven broke the silence, and the earth received a message of hope.

The angel’s announcement to the shepherds was not one of judgment or fear, but of good tidings and great joy. This joy was not reserved for kings, priests, or the wealthy alone, it was declared for all people. From the lowly shepherds in the field to every generation after them.

The message remains the same: a Saviour has been born!
The joy Christ brings is deeper than seasonal excitement or material celebration. It is the joy of salvation, forgiveness, restoration, and eternal life. Even in uncertain times, troubled economies, personal losses, or unanswered questions, this joy remains unshaken because it is rooted in God’s faithfulness.

As we reflect on the birth of Jesus, we are reminded to respond as the shepherds did, with humility, obedience, worship, and a willingness to share the good news. 

Christmas is not only a celebration; it is a call to live out the message of Christ in love, peace, and gratitude.

May this season remind you that fear has no place where Christ reigns, and joy is always available to those who believe.

 *WISHING YOU A JOY-FILLED CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION.* 

 *BIBLE READING:* 

Luke 2:8–20.

 *PRAYER FOCUS:* 

Father, thank You for the gift of Your Son. Help me to trust Your faithfulness, walk in humility, and stand firm in Your promises. Let the joy of Christ rule my heart, regardless of circumstances in Jesus name.

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...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
