I do know that a man\u2019s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free. Hence I am leaving you with the undermentioned scriptures in this note to give you a line of food for thought as a way to indicate how the theme of the month will be approach. I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on them in prayers (Acts 20:32)<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luke 19:10<\/strong> “10<\/sup>For the Son of man is come<\/strong> to seek and to save that<\/strong> which was lost.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Romans 5:8<\/strong> “8<\/sup>But God commendeth his love toward us<\/strong>, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Matthew 1:16-25<\/strong> “16<\/sup>And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17<\/sup>So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. 18<\/sup>Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise:<\/strong> When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19<\/sup>Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. 20<\/sup>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<\/sup>And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.<\/strong> 22<\/sup>Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23<\/sup>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<\/sup>Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25<\/sup>And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.”<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Luke 2:1-20<\/strong> “1<\/sup>And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 2<\/sup>(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3<\/sup>And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4<\/sup>And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5<\/sup>To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6<\/sup>And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7<\/sup>And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 8<\/sup>And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9<\/sup>And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10<\/sup>And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11<\/sup>For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12<\/sup>And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13<\/sup>And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14<\/sup>Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. <\/strong>15<\/sup>And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 16<\/sup>And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17<\/sup>And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 18<\/sup>And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19<\/sup>But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. 20<\/sup>And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

However, this theme will be expanded in course of the SERVICES & TIMES<\/strong> in all meetings through the month in “Scripture Pasture” <\/strong>Study and “Pastoral Messages”.<\/strong> I gladly welcome you, your friends and family to be with us in Fellowship <\/strong>and Worship<\/strong>. I promise you that you can never be the same again as you ponder over the truth of these unadulterated, inspiring, revealing and empowering living word of God.<\/span><\/p>\n

Until then, have an amazing, majestic and awesome MONTH<\/strong> of Commemorating & Celebrating God’s Love in Christ Jesus & His Cause on Earth for you and all mankind.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Christ Love,<\/span><\/p>\n
