CHRISTMAS DAY

-
1 John 4:14.
"And [besides] we ourselves have seen (have deliberately and steadfastly contemplated) and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son [as the] Savior of the world."

Dear friends, today, Sunday December 25, 2016, Christians the world over commemorate and celebrate one of the greatest spiritual events this universe has seen - the birth of the Messiah Jesus Christ, Who left His glory in heaven to become a human being for one singular purpose - to die for the sins of mankind, redeem mankind from the works of the devil and reconcile mankind back to God.

I tell you, this is worth celebrating. However, majority of Christians today are only focused on the commercial and material side of the celebration and not the spiritual side, which is most important.

Please go to Church with your families today and thank God for what He did when He sent His only begotten Son to this sinful world for the reason I have mentioned above.

If you choose to celebrate in sin, too bad because not only are you offending God, you run the risk of losing your soul in eternity. Don't waste your time and money drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and dancing to worldly immoral music.

Rather, spend time meditating on the significance of Christmas and discuss this significance as you sit down to feast with family and friends.

If a non-Christian asks you what it is you celebrate today, Christmas Day, please use the opportunity to share the Gospel of Repentance and Salvation with the person.

God bless you as you do so.


Merry Christmas!

Gabriel Ama.

ARE YOU A STUMBLING BLOCK TO THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST?

Romans 14:12-13 (AMPC)   “ And so each of us shall give an account of himself [give an answer in reference to judgment] to God.   13 Then let us no more criticize and blame and pass judgment on one another, but rather decide and endeavour never to put a stumbling block or an obstacle or a hindrance in the way of a brother.”   Dear people of God, a few years ago, we were asked to share invitation flyers to the public in an area where one of our local church parishes was to open newly.   I recall giving one of the flyers to a lady who asked me the name of the church and when I mentioned it, she said “God forbid.” When I asked why she rejected the flyer, she did not respond.   Obviously, some member of the church she knows must have caused her offence and this stirred up hatred in her for the church.   Recently, a friend told me how in his church the pastor made a commitment towards a church project but never fulfilled it.   It ha...

HOW DO YOU CONTROL VIOLENCE IN PEOPLE?

Hebrews 12:14 (AMPC)  “ Strive to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration  and holiness without which no one will [ever] see the Lord.”   Dear people of God, I read sometime in December 2019 ago of a police inspector in Nigeria who shot and killed his colleague, a corporal, and the same shot injured another colleague, a deputy Superintendent of police after which the police inspector took his own life.   What could have led to such violence?   I also read of another unfortunate story of a lady killed December 25, 2019, Christmas Day, by her husband who had beaten her to a coma and then ran away after discovering what he had done. The police have since found and arrested him.   Reports have it that the man was fond of beating his late wife at the slightest provocation, which has eventually led to her death in this latest incident.   Again, what could have caused this incessant violence?   Medical experts claim that humans have 2 s...

GOD CANNOT VIOLATE HIS WORD

-
  Psalm 89:34  “My covenant I will not violate, nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.” Dear people of God, today’s lead Bible text in Psalm 89:34 is a profound statement by God Almighty and Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. What this statement from God means is that there is nothing He has said in His Word that He will fail to perform. A sensible Christian who understands this will look for what God has said by careful, meditative study of God’s Word found only in the Holy Bible, thank God joyously for it, claim it and God will surely perform what His Word has stated. I make bold to say here that the Christian who does not study the Word of God in the Holy Bible to claim the promises therein is only cheating himself of herself. Jesus Christ in one of His divine visits to late Pastor Kenneth E. Hagin (while alive on earth) told him that there are many Christians who are sincere and living right but they do not get what they ask for in pra...
