MY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS DIGEST LETTER TO YOU!

MY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS DIGEST LETTER TO YOU!

Dear Friend,

SOME TEN GOLDEN RULES TO ASSIST YOU IN THIS CHRISTMAS

WHAT’S CHRISTMAS: A yearly commemoration and Celebration of God’s love to mankind in the birth of our Lord and Saviour – Christ Jesus and His cause on earth.

Some Ten Golden Rules I Love You To Observe:

1ST RULE:

You shall prepare your soul for Christmas – Romans 12:1-2.

We need to prepare a room in the Inn of our heart for the Lord in this Christmas –Revelation 3:20; Luke 2:7b

2ND RULE:

You shall not over burden the Sale Clerk with your worries – Matthew 6:25-34 (note especially vs. 33 – the need to seek right).

We need not let the worry of gifts – Shoes, games, transport, groceries, clothing’s, jewelleries and other shopping and shoppers to weigh us down and get into debt.

3RD RULE:

You shall give yourself with your gift – 2 Corinthians 8:1-5; 2 Corinthians 9:7-11; Psalm 49:6-9.

Give God your heart before your material gains and gifts: Give me your heart, the Lord requires first before anything. Your life is worth to God than your gift.

4TH RULE:

You shall not value gift by their cost – Luke 21:1-5; Matthew 2:11.

The least expensive gift may speak LOVE and with great hearts than the costly.

5TH RULE:

You shall not leave (keep) Christ outside Christmas – Matthew 2:13.

Joseph was with Christ on and in Christmas mood hence he could hear God of the enemy plan – King Herod’s – against baby Jesus. Don’t let Christmas be used for evil work to you and your family.

6TH RULE:

You shall not allow Father Christmas to replace Christ in your heart and that of your family – Ephesians 3:13-14; Colossians 1:27; Luke 2:11.

Some has put up some masquerade acts to display in devilish mood, terrorising and frightening people in the name of Christmas. Don’t get people hurt please.

7TH RULE:

You shall not forget and neglect the needy – James 1:27; 2:14-20.

Christmas is a very good time to extend God’s love to you to the needy around you. For the have not will always be among us the scriptures says – Deuteronomy 15:11; Mark 14:7.

8TH RULE:

You shall not neglect your Church of gathering for Fellowship and Worship – Hebrews 10:25.

What is the Church? It is the voluntarily gathering of people to fellowship with one another and to worship God in spirit and truth. The service in the Church highlights the Christmas. In the morning it is called MASS – Celebration and Commemoration while in the evening – it is called BENEDICTION.

9TH RULE:

You shall be as a little Child – Mark 10:15

It takes a childhood heart to embrace the spirit of Christ birth called Christmas.

Hence it’s a time of childhood spirit and not childish attitude which we see on our streets during this period.

10TH RULE:

You shall worship and give your heart to Christ – Matthew 2:11; John 3:16; Revelation 3:20; John 1:12.

Let Christ be at the top of your Christmas. Prepare and decorate your hearts much more to your house.

AND FINALLY:

SELFISHNESS makes Christmas a BURDEN but LOVE makes Christmas – PEACE, LOVE, GOOD WILL and JOYFUL.

BLESSED COMMEMORATION and CELEBRATION

Merry Christmas and Blessed Regards

In God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus,
