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 His Righteousness.

There is no Savior apart from the Christ crucified on the Cross who takes away the sin of the whole; but also the Christ who has risen and reigns as King forever. We must bow and surrender to the King of Kings. The best wish for people at Christmas is that they will recognize their sins and see their need for a savior. Let this be our prayer for all people.

Let us rejoice greatly for "It is finished" and “complete”. Christ is no longer a baby lying in a manger.
Joy to you a favored sinner who now knows and has relationship with the Savior and God of the whole universe.

Let's enjoy Christ forever.

Merry Christmas to you and your Family! You are Highly Favored!

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

THANKSGIVING

THANKSGIVING Happy summer friends. My eyes were opened to this Scripture I have never seen before. I thought to share: " The Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah who was in charge of the songs of thanksgiving and praise, he and his brothers." - Nehemiah 12:8 AMP. Context: Nehemiah and the Jews from the Babylonia exile of seventy years have just finished rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem despite all attacks and intimidation of their enemies. It is now time of dedication. Thanksgiving and praise were so important that some Levite priests were appointed for this purpose. Look who was in charge, "Mattaniah" which means "God’s gift or Hope." It speaks volumes to me. You and I are "in charge of Thanksgiving and Praise" to God in our lives. God is our gift and Hope. In Thanksgiving, we acknowledge, honor and worship The Source - God. Gratitude will elevate your attitude and altitude to God and people. Apostle Paul sums u...

Forgive My Arrogance of Unbelief

  Forgive My Arrogance of Unbelief It just dawned on me that we literally die daily at night and we call it sleep. Then, in the morning, God in His mercy wakes us up to live for another day, perhaps. Please stop and think about it. "Selah."  While asleep, we are temporarily in a different world. When we truly understand what God has set in motion from the beginning of time, how dare us not to trust Him for every second. I now see my foolish arrogance not to wholeheartedly trust, depend and rely on God's love, mercy and kindness for every second. What can we brag about that God has not given us? You may be thinking about material things. No, I am thinking about life itself. Without life, there are no things to acquire and accumulate. Moreover, we only acquire and accumulate what already exists and provided by God in His mercy. I will confess that it has never hit me (with a four by four) to this level before. The words of Jesus, the Creator, in John 14:1 did it. In fact, i...

My Best Compliment "Idiot"

While preaching and evangelizing in the streets today, I got my best compliment. A man in his car shouted, "Stop wasting your time, idiot." I shouted back to him, "God bless you." Then he retorted, "Shut up idiot". He was vexed by the two-sided gospel signs I was carrying that said, "Jesus is Lord, Repent and Believe." On the other side it said, "All have Sinned. Repent, Turn, And Trust Christ.” It's an honor to be called “idiot” for Christ’s sake. Lord, I thank you. Please Lord, bless this man and reveal yourself to him and many others who were today, confronted with the truth of the gospel, and save them. Maybe this vexed man has seen me on previous Sundays preaching at the same spot. This is a confirmation that I should not stop, and especially at this location.  Saints, please join me to pray for this man that we will see him in heaven by God’s mercy and grace. In heaven, he can then apologize and hug me and other Saints. Lol. ...
