REMEMBER AND CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST

-

Luke  2:10-11
_"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."_

The Bible didn't specify the month and the particular day our Savior, Christ Jesus was born. However, as Christians we know and believe that Christ was born for our salvation and redemption. The beginning of the work of redemption was right after the fall of man but the physical manifestation began from the birth of Christ. Therefore there is the need to  celebrate and rejoice in remembrance.

Christ was not born in December but He was born to redeem us.  It's written, "The Savior - yes, the Messiah, the Lord - has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!... Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others - the armies of heaven - praising God and saying, “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.” - (Luke 2:11, 13, 14, nlt). If the Angels rejoiced and celebrated His birth, then we who were made in HIS image and likeness must remember that glorious moment and celebrate.

Beloved, we are not celebrating the *birthday of Christ* for it is not known, but we are celebrating the *birth of Christ*. Let's celebrate God's love for us (John 3:16). The celebration of Christ's birth is not meant for fornication and drunkenness but for love and giving. Let's make merry in a season like this but we shouldn't forget this verse; "...whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God" - 1 Corinthians 10:31 (nlt). Amen.

*MERRY CHRIST'S BIRTH!*
*A SEASON OF LOVE.*

PRACTICALIZE YOUR CHRISTIAN FAITH

📓1 Peter 2:21 _For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: (KJV)_ Christianity is more practical than theological. Knowing about God; studying everything in the Bible doesn't make a Christian. Instead, what makes a Christian is living (practicing) what is studied and known about God through Christ Jesus. Although it is important to study or listen to God's Word, it is more important than one can take a stick at to obey and practice what it says. Therefore, professing to be Christians without godly effect on our behavior and attitude is futile. From our open verse, it obvious that we are called to live as Christ lived. Christ is our ultimate example. We are to walk in His footprints. So, not only by our mouth confessions, we are to practicalize our faith in Christ by giving ourselves to Him as living sacrifices which is holy and acceptable; allowing Him to transform our minds (Romans 12:1-

THE UNCHANGEABLE DEPENDABLE GOD

📓Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (KJV)_ David said, "the heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork" - Psalm 19:1. Despite all the evidences the nature (creation) reveal about God and His supremacy, many people still have shallow knowledge about God and even some don't believe in Him at all. They therefore limit the power of the Lord in situations. They face difficulties and think they are too big for the Lord to handle. However, our thoughts are not the thoughts of the Lord, neither are our ways His ways (Isaiah 55:8). The Lord is greater and bigger than everything and we are to know that. "Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and  we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture" - Psalm 100:3. Beloved, the Lord Jesus never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Though we live in a changing world, you can hope and trust the Lor

WHAT COMES TO THE MIND

📓Romans 12:2 _And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (KJV)_ Always, there are many thoughts that come to our mind that we don't expect. These thoughts come due to mainly what we see and hear. Sometimes, the devil also brings some thoughts to our mind just to tempt us. The mind always receives and works on our senses; what we see, hear, feel, smell and taste. It therefore, begins to work on what is received from any of the senses whether good or evil, but we can set guard over its works. It is said, "you can't prevent the birds from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from constructing a nest on your head". Likewise, we can't keep or prevent thoughts from coming to our mind but we can decide not to ponder (meditate) on them. Anytime we dwell on evil thoughts, our actions also become evil. Therefore, we need to delete s
