The Savior is Born - Merry Christmas!

The Savior is Born – Merry Christmas! Christmas is not for all – Shocking? A savior only comes to save. Save from what? Christ the Messiah came to save us from the wrath and judgment of God. Only God can save us from Himself. The miracle of Christmas is that I recognize by the mercy and grace (favor) of God that I am a sinner needing a Savior. Shocking! Christ did not come for all but only for sinners. 14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” Luke 11:14. It is goodwill to people that are favored by God to know that they are sinners (the poor in spirit). Have you been favored to know that you are a sinner needing a Savior? “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him…” —John 6:44. Then Merry Christmas to you otherwise there is nothing merry about Christmas. Christ came to seek and to save the lost. He came for sinners and not for the self-righteous. Let’s give God all our self-righteousness and take Hi...

How Can This Be?

How can this be? Something Bigger than You I love Christmas. The impossibilities happen especially if you are a child or childlike. My kids love Christmas. The impossible happen for them. For example, one day they are here in the States; the next day they are thousands of miles away in another continent Africa. Last year, I told them we were going to Nigeria for Christmas. They asked some questions but overall they got excited and expected it. When I informed my children, I was just telling them what mom and dad have already decided to do. They were not being told so as to decide. They went along with us and had the greatest Christmas (80 degrees weather, lots of cousins and friends to play with and share some goodies and etc.). The almighty God was just giving information about His arrival through an angel to Mary. Yes Mary asked question but God had already made up His mind – God was coming down to earth through Mary. It was at the fullness of time. It is okay to ask God questi...

The "S" Word

The “S” Word I am not cursing today or ever in this forum or any other. We are talking about the dreaded word in the society and unfortunately in the Church. The “S” word is submit and submitting. There are ongoing demonstrations all across the major cites of USA for justice. "I can't breathe" because I am too proud to submit in the first place. Was excessive force used on Eric Garner? Based on the video, yes. This is why many are crying for justice. However, we must never forget the root of it all - pride and lack of humility and submission. We must all speak to that as well. Submit is all over the Bible. In fact there is no relationship with God or any human without submission. Submit to God and resist the devil we are commanded. In our current study, Paul by the Holy Spirit commands the Ephesians as follows: “But be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 20...

Letter of Intended Divorce from Jesus

Letter of Intended Divorce from Jesus My Dear Bride I am considering divorcing you for the following reasons. First I took you as my bride and you agreed to our relationship after you had believed me. It was not forced on you and you willingly said yes. I have always loved you. However, I have noticed that we have irreconcilable differences. In fact we have always had irreconcilable differences. The truth is that we had it before I met you. I am holy and will always be. I have never sinned nor will ever sin. For a period, I took on sin and died for sinners like you to reconcile you to my Father. You were born a sinner and right there begins our differences. I have always known it but I had mercy and grace on you and took you on as a bride. Of late I am tired and can no longer tolerate your attitude towards me and how you treat others. In my relationship with you, it has always been about you and what you can get from me. You only come to me when you are in need. There is no i...
