THIS CHRISTMAS – WHAT IS IT TO YOU: IS IT – CHRISTMAS Or XMAS 

By Leave a Comment

THIS CHRISTMAS – WHAT IS IT TO YOU: IS IT – CHRISTMAS Or XMAS – I Know It’s “CHRIST” For “CHRISTMAS” And Not An ‘X’ For “CHRIST” As In “XMAS”! 

“And WITHOUT CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the FLESH (HUMANITY), JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16. 

What is CHRISTMAS? It is the treasured and memorable yearly commemoration and Celebration of God’s LOVE to mankind in the BIRTH of our – Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus, and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on earth for all mankind. 

Beloved, BELIEVE not EVERY spirit, but TRY (EXAMINE) the spirits whether they are of God: because MANY FALSE PROPHETS ARE GONE OUT INTO THE WORLD. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that CONFESSETH that Jesus Christ is COME in the FLESH (HUMANITY) is of God: 3 and every spirit that CONFESSETH NOT that Jesus Christ is COME in the FLESH (HUMANITY) is NOT of God: and this is that spirit of ANTICHRIST, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now ALREADY is it in the WORLD” 1 John 4:1-3. 

It’s imperative to commemorate and celebrate Christ birth. In being objective, I have sectioned the word Christmas in this way. That is, CHRIST and MAS. Wherefore, Christ – means, the anointed One, the Messiah, the Saviour, the Holy one of Israel and the Redeemer. And ‘MAS’ for ‘MASS’ means – The Gathering – To Celebrate, Commemorate and Observe. Hence CHRISTMAS in this context is the yearly commemoration and Celebration of God’s love in the birth of Christ and His REDEMPTION cause on Earth to all mankind. 

This thus signifies “CHRISTMAS” as the sharing of that GRACE and the benediction of the triune God which is expressed through their LOVE to mankind in COMMUNION – FELLOWSHIP – as it’s written: 

“The GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ and the LOVE of God, and the COMMUNION of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen” 2 Corinthians 13:14. 

Some have replaced the ‘Christ’ of Christmas with an ‘X’ for Xmas. Probably because they are ignorant or they can’t comprehend and imagine the good that Christ brings into Christmas, hence they chose the use of the negative connotations that ‘X’ represents. You see it in advert through the media, Christmas cards and such like places to undermine the true essence for which Christ was born and named in Christmas. 

CHRIST is not the same as ‘X’ connotation. It is not a worthwhile abbreviation either by any margins. 

However, there are other opinions about Christmas, while some say Christmas is not important and is not worth any form of commemoration and celebration because  

it’s a heathen day, a pagan holiday. Others indicate that December 25th is not the day on which Christ was born and some even claimed it’s in October. Some people also say that He was born spiritual and not with physical nature – not in humanity. According to some it is for pagans and Satanists due to the glamorous events and activities that are now associated to this date especially with the financial indiscipline and indebtedness people entangle themselves into as a result of the celebration, and commemoration in quote. 

May I say that just because the enemy perverts and distorts the meaning and essence of the celebration of Christmas, does not mean that we should let go of that which we believe is of God – that is, that Christ was BORN for us all according to the scriptures irrespective of individuals or selective few indignation of Christ birth in humanity. 1 Timothy 3:16; 1 John 4:1-6. 

For me and every supposed Spirit born child of God, what is vital in the whole scenario of indifference is that Christ was born in the flesh – humanity. This is without controversy  

as endorsed in 1 Timothy 3:16. Dates and times not withstanding and should not be an issue, but the act of acknowledging this very fact and truth of God in the light of the Holy Scriptures makes the journey of the Christian FAITH meaningful and fulfilling to anyone that believes in Christ Jesus as saviour and Lord as in the scriptures.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And WITHOUT CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the FLESH (HUMANITY), JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16. 

“Beloved, BELIEVE not EVERY spirit, but TRY (EXAMINE) the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that CONFESSETH that Jesus Christ is COME in the FLESH (HUMANITY) is of God: 3 and every spirit that CONFESSETH NOT that Jesus Christ is COME in the FLESH (HUMANITY) is NOT of God: and this is that spirit of ANTICHRIST, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now ALREADY is it in the WORLD. 4 Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5 They ARE of the WORLD: therefore SPEAK they of the world, and the world HEARETH them. 6 We ARE of God: he that KNOWETH God HEARETH us; he that is NOT of God HEARETH NOT us. Hereby KNOW we the spirit of TRUTH, and the spirit of ERROR” 1 John 4:1-6 (Emphasis Mine). 

“I marvel that ye are so soon REMOVED from him that CALLED you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: 7 which is not another; but there be SOME that trouble you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any OTHER gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any OTHER gospel unto you than that ye have RECEIVED, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9. 

“Beloved, when I gave all DILIGENCE to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are CERTAIN MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY men, TURNING the grace of our God into LASCIVIOUSNESS, and DENYING the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4. 

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7. 

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were MADE by HIM; and without HIM was not anything MADE that was MADE. 4 In HIM was LIFE; and THE LIFE was the LIGHT of men. 5 And THE LIGHT shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . 14 And THE WORD was made FLESH [HUMAN, HUMANITY], and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of GRACE and TRUTH . . . 17 For THE LAW was given by Moses, but GRACE and TRUTH came by Jesus Christ” John 1:1-5, 14, 17. 

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD thing which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

THIS CHRISTMAS – THIS DECEMBER – MAKE IT YOUR FAMILY TIME

THIS CHRISTMAS – THIS DECEMBER – MAKE IT YOUR FAMILY TIME: MAY YOU KNOW THE LOVE OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS I PRAY! 

“For this CAUSE I bow my KNEES unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 of whom the whole FAMILY in HEAVEN and EARTH is NAMED . . . 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 may be ABLE to COMPREHEND with ALL saints what is the BREATH, and LENGHT, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH (TRANSCENDS AND SURPASSES) KNOWLEDGE (HUMAN SENSES), THAT YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD . . .” Ephesians 3:14-21. 

CHRISTMAS is a bonding time for families and those we care about. And one gracious and graceful great thing about Christmas and THIS CHRISTMAS – is that it’s time to SETTLE SCORES, FORGIVE and JUSTIFY others, EMBRACE and STRENGTHEN relationships. Although in some homes and families, it’s the opposite today and even now – for them it’s a time for in-fighting, counting wrongs, blames, creating more confusion, retaliation, revenge and such like. 

The various failures in human limitations ought not to be so any more – simply because of the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus that’s poured into us and lavishly given to us and embedded in our hearts for our today, tomorrow and always, by the power of the Holy Spirit that dwells in us and by which we are saved in the grace. 

“Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s LOVE HAS BEEN POURED OUT IN OUR HEARTS through the Holy Spirit Who has been GIVEN to us . . . 8 But God shows and clearly proves His [own] LOVE for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us” Romans 5:5, 8/Amplified Classic Edition. 

And this LOVE of God in Christ Jesus that’s poured in us, SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS our human [Sense] KNOWLEDGE comprehension; and this SURPASSING and TRANSCENDING LOVE of God in Christ Jesus, dwells in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. An indescribable gift of God to all born of Him in Christ Jesus. What an awesome gift that’s given to us, and that dwells in us also, in all of God’s redemption, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And it’s my wish that the consciousness of God’s love will overwhelm you in Christ Jesus; to enable you live and love far above the limitations of human sense knowledge love, that’s full of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.  

“May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be ROOTED DEEP IN LOVE AND FOUNDED SECURELY ON LOVE, 18 That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; 19 [That you may really come] to KNOW [practically, through experience for yourselves] THE LOVE of Christ, which far SURPASSES mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be FILLED [through all your being] unto all the FULLNESS of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:17-19/Amplified Classic Edition. 

I therefore PRAY as Apostle Paul for you today and tomorrow and even now – that you may KNOW and UNDERSTAND the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus that SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS your human concept of five senses KNOWLEDGE through God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus that concerns you, your family and those you care about. May this love of God captivate you to give the needed leverage and enabling for you to enjoy the FULNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

Make THIS CHRISTMAS your NEW DAY and NEW BEGINNING of expressing daily the LOVE of GOD in CHRIST JESUS which SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS your human five senses KNOWLEDGE in all you do to self, family, colleagues and your fellow human beings and mankind. 

I WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS – AND A BLESSED CELEBRATION AND COMMEMORATION OF GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5. 

“For this CAUSE I bow my KNEES unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 of whom the whole FAMILY in HEAVEN and EARTH is NAMED, 16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 may be ABLE to COMPREHEND with ALL saints what is the BREATH, and LENGHT, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH (TRANSCENDS AND SURPASSES) KNOWLEDGE (HUMAN SENSES), THAT YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD. 20 Now unto him that is ABLE to DO EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL all that we ASK or THINK, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen” Ephesians 3:14-21/Emphasis Mine. 

“Let LOVE be without hypocrisy. ABHOR what is EVIL. Cling to what is good. 10 Be KINDLY AFFECTIONATE to one another with brotherly LOVE, in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 DISTRIBUTING to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. 14 BLESS those who PERSECUTE you; BLESS and do not CURSE. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. 17 REPAY no one EVIL FOR EVIL. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, LIVE PEACEABLY with all men. 19 Beloved, do not AVENGE yourselves, but rather GIVE place to WRATH; for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore “IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM; IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” 21 Do not be OVERCOME by evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:9-21. 

“If THINE ENEMY be HUNGRY, GIVE him BREAD to EAT; and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him WATER to DRINK: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22. 

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . .13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, BUT BY LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER” Galatians 5:6, 13. 

“When a MAN’S WAYS PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7. 

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that COMETH to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

However, as wonderful as the CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION and COMMEMORATION is, be it known that Christ is enthroned and He rules and reigns supreme in all. And He is no longer: The babe in the manger /The servant to death /The limited one / nor the Christ on the Cross. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a WORKMAN that NEEDETH not to be ASHAMED, rightly DIVIDING (APPLYING) the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15 (Emphasis Mine). 

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN), not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29 (Emphasis Mine). 

“And ye shall KNOW the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:32. 

“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast LEARNED them; 15 and that from a child thou hast known the holy SCRIPTURES, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for INSTRUCTION in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE, FULLY), thoroughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17. 

“18 Now THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was ESPOUSED to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is CONCEIVED in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US. 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him and took unto him his wife: 25 and knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS” Matthew 1:18-25.

THIS MONTH DECEMBER

THIS MONTH DECEMBER: THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS – IS BEING COMMEMORATED AND CELEBRATED! 

“And without CONTROVERSY great is the MYSTERY of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the flesh, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16. 

CHRIST JESUS – He’s the reason for the season. He’s the reason for the celebration. Outside Him there’s no authentic and genuine reason that can be efficacious. And He’s THE WORD, the GOD MANIFEST in humanity [John 1:14]. The WORD that’s able to do wholesome division and separation, of the human spirit, soul and body respectively; and all creatures are laid before Him [THE WORD] to do life and live godly [Hebrews 4:12-13]. He’s THE WORD that the Holy Angel’s harkened unto in life and grace [Psalms 103:20]. He’s the sent one of the trinity God, who came for humanity good and goodness and there’s NO CONTROVERSY of any sorts about Him. 

“Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4 but when the FULNESS of the time was come, God SENT forth His Son, MADE of a woman, MADE under the law, 5 to REDEEM them that were UNDER the law, that we might RECEIVE the adoption of sons” Galatians 4:3-5. 

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God SENT not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16. 

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7. 

For me, when you take away Christ from ‘CHRISTMAS’ you have ‘MAS’ which means ‘MAN AT SELF’ while with Christ it means ‘MAN AT SUFFICIENCY’. 

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

CHRIST means – The anointed one, Messiah, Saviour, The Redeemer and more; while MASS means – to Celebrate, to observe and commemorate. 

Therefore, in this Month DECEMBER, let’s commemorate and celebrate Him for He is indeed born in our hearts and in our being. His birth is the rebirth of: 

  • Peace and goodwill toward men 
  • Hope, Faith and Love for men 
  • Fellowship and Relationship  
  • Salvation for all mankind and more. 

However, as wonderful as Christmas commemoration and celebration is, be it known that Christ is enthroned. He’s no longer: 

  • The babe in the manger 
  • The servant to death 
  • The limited one and 
  • The Christ on the Cross. 

He’s now the: 

  • God on the throne 
  • Omnipotent- (unlimited, all powerful) 
  • Omnipresent – (ever present, everywhere the same time) and 
  • Omniscience (all knowing, all understanding and all wise). 

May Christ be all above to you, this Day, this Christmas and this month December. I pray you have a blessed celebration and commemoration.

It is sharper than any two-edged sword, PENETRATING as far as the DIVISION of the soul and spirit [the COMPLETENESS of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and JUDGING the very THOUGHTS and INTENTIONS of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is CONCEALED from His sight, but all things are OPEN and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 Amplified. 

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30. 

“Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the PRINCES OF THIS WORLD, that come to nought: 7 but we speak THE WISDOM of God in a MYSTERY, even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 which NONE OF THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.

THIS DECEMBER – THIS CHRISTMAS: IT’S GOD’S LIGHT IN OUR DARKNESS!

“At MIDDAY, O king, I SAW in the way a LIGHT from heaven, above the BRIGHTNESS of the SUN, SHINNING round about me and them which journeyed with me” Acts 26:13.

Am absolutely delighted to know and equally inform you, that the Birth of Christ Jesus that brought about the reason for the season called CHRISTMAS – even This CHRISTMAS, was and is, God introducing LIGHT again into the world. The SON LIGHT of God that SURPASSED the SUN LIGHT of the human senses.

“For God, who commanded the LIGHT to SHINE out of DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our HEARTS, to give the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

It’s that SON LIGHT of God that Apostle Paul experience at MIDDAY. At Midday of SUN LIGHT, Apostle Paul saw and experience two lights – the SON LIGHT and the SUN LIGHT. And instead of the known SUN LIGHT, which supposedly should be at the full beam heights of the human SUN brightness, he saw the SON LIGHT beam on him, which was way beyond measure, that surpasses his known – Acts 26:13. It’s simply because JESUS is the SUN of RIGHTEOUSNESS. His presence dispels DARKNESS and ILLUMINATES beyond all known lights – Malachi 4:2.

I pray that the SON LIGHT light of God will shine in and through you in such a time as This CHRISTMAS, that every indication of darkness will be brought to light and surpass in everyway.

“But unto you that fear my name shall the SUN of RIGHTEOUSNESS arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth and grow up as calves of the stall” Malachi 4:2.

I pray that you find an EXCEEDING GREAT JOY, as you let Jesus becomes your DAY STAR in each DAWN DAY as the SHEPHERD experience and was led towards Him by Him the DAY STAR in guidance at Christ birth – 2 Peter 1:19/Matthew 2:9-10.

May you have a DELIGHTFUL SON LIGHT CHRISTMAS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

THIS DECEMBER. . . THIS CHRISTMAS: BE CAREFUL OF THE CHOICE YOU MAKE IN EVERYWAY!

THIS DECEMBER. . . THIS CHRISTMAS: BE CAREFUL OF THE CHOICE YOU MAKE IN EVERYWAY!

“Ye have not CHOSEN me, but I have CHOSEN you, and ORDAINED (ANOINTED) you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you . . . 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have CHOSEN you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you” John 15:16, 19.

YOU ARE GOD’S CHOICE – HE HAS CHOSEN YOU. THEREFORE CHOSE WISELY AS GOD CHOSE YOU IN LIFE AND GODLINESS, IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

To some, choice or to chose is so smooth and easy, but for those who knows and considers the consequence and end result of their intent in matters of choice and to chose, lots are put into considerations. And for an imminent decision with repercussions, it takes a deep thought in making a choice, knowing the effect of such choice needs to worth everything that might affect your today and tomorrow. For making a choice demands careful thinking through, pondering and meditations because it’s one’s life and all. This I found intrigued in Apostle Paul that worth noting in all the phases of our wanting to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead in everyway.

“For to me, to LIVE is Christ [He is my source of joy, my reason to live] and to DIE is gain [for I will be with Him in eternity]. 22 If, however, it is to be life here and I am to go on living, this will mean useful and productive service for me; SO I DO NOT KNOW WHICH TO CHOOSE [IF I AM GIVEN THAT CHOICE]. 23 But I am hard-pressed between the two. I have the desire to leave [this world] and be with Christ, for that is far, far better” Philippians 1:21-23 Amplified.

You must know for sure that you are the product of your choice. The choices you make in life defines you. The friends you chose and keep will make and define you. Your attitude to your choice will determine your altitude. So, as God’s chosen one, you need to scripturally THINK through, PONDER through and MEDIATE through, before making a costly CHOICE in – THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS.

Therefore, I repeat pleading with you in God’s name in Christ Jesus, that in THIS DECEMBER . . . and in THIS CHRISTMAS, be very careful of the CHOICE you make – because it will define you in everyway, in your path of doing life and living godly in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

I admonish you now as in always, to choose God first, so that He may help you and together, makes sense of the good choices to define your today and tomorrow in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

I truly pray that you make your choice by the scriptures that you might by PEACE promise of God at Christ Jesus birth, you can live through every phase of your CHOICE without murmuring and complaining and questioning. For we WALK by FAITH and not by SIGHT – SENSES. 2 Corinthians 5:7. And Faith is of the WORD to overcome the world pressure and challenges. Romans 10:17; 1 John 5:3-5.

Shalom! Blessed regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH READING AND PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your MOUTH, but you shall MEDITATE in it day and night, that you may OBSERVE to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will MAKE your way PROSPEROUS, and then you will have GOOD SUCCESS. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” Joshua 1:8-9 NKJV.

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you LIFE and DEATH, BLESSING and CURSING: therefore CHOOSE LIFE, that both THOU and thy SEED may LIVE: 20 that thou mayest LOVE the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest OBEY his voice, and that thou mayest CLEAVE unto him: FOR HE IS THY LIFE, and the LENGTH of thy days: that thou mayest DWELL in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to GIVE them” Deuteronomy 30:19-20.

“Now therefore FEAR the Lord, and SERVE him in SINCERITY and in TRUTH: and PUT AWAY THE GODS which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord. 15 And if it SEEM EVIL unto you to SERVE the Lord, CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY WHOM YE WILL SERVE; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, we will SERVE the Lord” Joshua 24:14-15.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are TRUE, whatever things are NOBLE, whatever things are JUST, whatever things are PURE, whatever things are LOVELY, whatever things are of GOOD REPORT, if there is any VIRTUE and if there is anything PRAISEWORTHY—MEDITATE on these things” Philippians 4:8 NKJV.

“For we WALK by FAITH, not by SIGHT (SENSES)” 2 Corinthians 5:7 Emphasis Mine.

“So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS (IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER, DIFFICULT, HARD WORK). 4 For whatsoever is BORN of God OVERCOMETH the WORLD: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5 Emphasis Mine.

“But we are bound to GIVE THANKS ALWAY to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from THE BEGINNING CHOSEN YOU to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 whereunto he CALLED you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ” 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14.

“But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his MARVELLOUS light: 10 which in time past were NOT A PEOPLE, but are now THE PEOPLE of God: which had NOT OBTAINED mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10.

THIS CHRISTMAS – THIS DECEMBER – MAKE IT YOUR FAMILY TIME

THIS CHRISTMAS – THIS DECEMBER – MAKE IT YOUR FAMILY TIME: MAY YOU KNOW THE LOVE OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS I PRAY!

“For this CAUSE I bow my KNEES unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 of whom the whole FAMILY in HEAVEN and EARTH is NAMED . . . 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 may be ABLE to COMPREHEND with ALL saints what is the BREATH, and LENGHT, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH (TRANSCENDS AND SURPASSES) KNOWLEDGE (HUMAN SENSES), THAT YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD . . .” Ephesians 3:14-21

CHRISTMAS is a bonding time for families and those we care about. And one gracious and graceful great thing about Christmas and THIS CHRISTMAS – it’s a time to SETTLE SCORES, FORGIVE and JUSTIFY others, EMBRACE and STRENGTHEN relationships. Although in some homes and families, it’s the opposite today and even now – for them it’s a time for in-fighting, counting wrongs, blames, creating more confusion, retaliation and revenge and such like. These various failures in human limitations ought not to be so any more – simply because of the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus in us today and always should be; and this Love of God in Christ Jesus in us, thus SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS our human (Sense) KNOWLEDGE;  and this Love of God in Christ Jesus has been shed and showed in our hearts by the Holy Spirit that is given to us, and that indwells in us also, in all of God’s redemption, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth His LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

I therefore PRAY as Apostle Paul for you today and even now – that you may KNOW and UNDERSTAND the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus that SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS your human concept of five senses KNOWLEDGE through God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus that concerns you, family and those you care about. May this love of God captivates you to give the needed leverage and enabling for you to enjoy the FULNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Make THIS CHRISTMAS your NEW DAY and NEW BEGINNING of expressing daily the LOVE of GOD in CHRIST JESUS which SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS your human five senses KNOWLEDGE concept in all you do to self, family, colleagues and your fellow human beings and mankind.

I WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS – AND A BLESSED CELEBRATION AND COMMEMORATION OF GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

“Let LOVE be without hypocrisy. ABHOR what is EVIL.

Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. 17 REPAY no one EVIL FOR EVIL. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, LIVE PEACEABLY with all men. 19 Beloved, do not AVENGE yourselves, but rather GIVE place to WRATH; for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore “IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM; IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” 21 Do not be OVERCOME by evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:9-21.

“When a MAN’S WAYS PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that COMETH to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.
