Seek and Find?

'Whose knocking at the Door!

The Christmas story is about a set of miracles and events that are a pivot of human history, when Jesus came into our world in human flesh from Eternity! Born of the Virgin, seen by the outcasts of society, rejected by a Royal family and gifted by foreign leaders, this is the story of the Messiah and Saviour of the world.

He was born in a humble place a symbol of His human nature that we would later see in his ministry and His going to the cross for all believers by faith!

But Christmas may have many aspects family, presents, the special meal, loneliness and rejection, homelessness and more? But it also brings to us the opportunity of Eternal Salvation through our repentance and faith in this child Jesus!

Jesus said, 'I stand at the door and knock, He who asks will receive!

Will you ask Him this season to come into your life? You have to ask to receive, will you open that cold hard door of your heart to His love, care and concern for your wrong direction?

Revelation 3:20,    Amos 5:4,    Matthew/Levi 7:7-8,    Luke 15:24,   32,    James 2:24,   26.

The Harvest Festival?

'A time to give thanks to the Lord!

Harvest time is traditional in the western Churches, because it gave a time to be thankful for the provision of God on the land even when it was not so good it was better than nothing?

But we may not fit in culturally to this set up, but still we can give thanks to God for His salvation and the great changes He has made for us in our New Lives!

There is always something to thank Jesus for in this New Life, daily miracles, children, blessings, deliverance, healing and the list could be endless?

Deuteronomy 8:10,   Psalm 44:8,   Jeremiah 33:11,   Mark 6:41,   Luke 2:28,   Romans 14:6, Colossians 4:2,   1 Timothy 4:4.

CHRISTMAS. Part-Four

VIRGIN BIRTH.

Still today many people cannot believe in this miracle of God, they make all sorts of excuses for it based on what is in their own hearts.

But it did happen as the bible tells us so, we do need to have faith to believe it?

When we have faith in the death, resurrection of Jesus for our failures then nothing is limited to us.

The world promises so much, but it hardly ever delivers even a little!

Luke 1:26-38,  Matthew 1:20-21,  2:13-22.   John 12:46-48.

Preparing for Christmas.

Care and Concern.

Christmas is perhaps the biggest holiday season in the world, it comes but once a year and lasts for about one month. This depends on which tradition you belong to, but most of this season today is more about things than the central message.

Jesus came into our world by two miracles, one He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Jesus was not born in a palace as the wise men or Magi thought, searching for the New Born King. Jesus was born in a dirty stable and laid in an animal feeder.

There is a big difference between being a traditional Christian and a Born-Again or Converted believer. We may be preparing our food, drinks and presents, and everything else such as presents, decorations and the tree.

But Jesus warns us that we need always to be looking out for others, who are in need!

Matthew 25:35-46,  Hebrews 6:10-12,  13:2,  James 1:27,  2:14-16.

Wicked. Part-Two.

A New Way.

Traditionally we associate wickedness with witchcraft and Voodoo or similar beliefs, but today we face new names in our plural world for the same evils.

Humanism, Rational explanations and secular thinking are these three new ways that turn our minds away from believing in God.

They set the agenda for equality that includes sexuality which opposes Gods will, doubts at to did God really say that and that science has the answers to explain way all the awesome events and miracles in the bible!

Genesis 3:1-3,  Psalm 73:11-13,  Hosea 7:2-3,  John 3:15-18,  Romans 3:23,  6;23,   Ephesians 2:1-4.
