CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS !!! ALL BUT MASS AWARENESS ABOUT CHRIST
The day Jesus was born in Bethlehem Judea; His parents laid Him in a manger (an open box for feeding animals) because there was no room for them in the village inn. People occupied all the rooms, not knowing that THE
SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD has been born in the
same place where they stayed.
I often ask, “how come no one in the inn was
spiritually sensitive enough to vacate a room
for them knowing that an extra-ordinary child was to be born?’’, even after he was born, they were still so passive; not knowing that a great child has been born. They were all busy,
too occupied with their own lives. The
evidences were there; the wise men from a
faraway country saw the special star in the sky and they followed it to Jesus, shepherds in
the field received the good news and went to
see Jesus, yet the people staying in the same
place where He was born didn’t know what was happening or they chose to ignore the
child and His poor parents.
The star was there for all to see, but only
those who were wise, watching, waiting; those
who truly love God could see and they
followed. Just as the people at the inn ignored
and despised Jesus, so also the people in our days have continually ignored, despised,
rejected Jesus and His teachings, although
some claim to know and celebrate Him.
If Jesus wanted His birthday celebrated, would He like the way some people celebrate Him?
Some commit all kinds of atrocities in order to
make money to celebrate Christmas. Christ
was born to set us free from sin, how then can someone be celebrating Christ in sin;
living lifestyles that are not pleasing to Him.
The CHRIST in Christmas has been replaced with ‘X’ written now as Xmas; a deliberate act
by the inventors to take the focus away from
JESUS CHRIST, giving allowance to all kinds of interpretation and meaning to the seasonal celebration.
The reason Jesus was born and He gave
Himself to death on the cross is to give us a new life, a life delivered from the bondage and power of Satan; He died to set us free from
the power of sin and to bring us into a close fellowship with God with no barriers anymore, so we can show forth the glory of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvellous
Light and to inherit God’s kingdom in heaven-what a privilege! To them that believe.
No one still living in sin or celebrating
Christmas in sin is wise. Take this opportunity to reflect on your life and call on Jesus to give
you a new life. Make room for Him in your
heart so you can begin to celebrate your
deliverance from darkness to Light.
Let Jesus deliver you from the works of
darkness: FORNICATION, ADULTERY, IMPURE
THOUGHTS, HATRED, FIGHTING, JEALOUSY,
ANGER, SELFISH AMBITIONS, PREJUDICE,
ENVY, MURDER, DRUNKENESS, WILD
PARTIES, DISHONESTY, CHEATING, STEALING,
LYING, IDOLATORY, SPIRITISM and the like.
Let Him live that New life of His spirit through
you, making you live in: LOVE, JOY, PEACE,
PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS,
FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS AND SELF-
CONTROL.
This should be the whole essence and focus
on CHRISTMAS.
PRAYER : Dear Lord Jesus, I believe you were
born and you died to give me a new life that
will please God always. Please give me this
new life, and live your life through me. Help
me keep my focus on You always- Amen.
If you are already saved then pray like this:
My Lord, I thank you for saving me from sin
and giving me a new life. Help me in this
season and at all times to keep my focus on
you and to be a good example of a Christian
in this world in Jesus name-Amen.
