FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN (1)

By -

 “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace”. Isaiah 9:6

The world's greatest gift of all time is Christ's birth, which was carried out because of God's love for us. The Bible declares that 'the government will be on His shoulders'.

What are the definitions of government? Firstly, it is the group of people with the authority to govern a country or state, a particular ministry  office. This means that Jesus has the authority to govern the earth and everything that is on it. Matthew 28:18 says ‘Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth’.

Another definition of government is the system by which a state or community is governed. Jesus is an authority, the righteous system, and can never fail. It's in Him that we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28). He advises us to look up to Him, as He is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). The reason why Christianity is not a religion but a way of life.

In addition, government is defined as the action or method of managing or governing a state, organization, or individuals. The ability to control, regulate, and organize is only granted to those with wisdom. Scripture affirms that Christ is God's wisdom and power (1 Corinthians 1:24).

The world's current chaos, problems, and troubles are a direct result of our failure to submit to Christ Jesus' authority. We do not keep his command in Mark 12:30-31 ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’There is no commandment greater than these. The world would be a better place if this could be kept.    

Give your life to Jesus, submit to His authority, and see how blessed and peaceful your life will be on this earth and in the eternal.

WITHOUT PRESCRIPTION

November 16th-22nd is designated as World Antibiotic Awareness Week, what is the reason behind it? Antibiotics (Greek anti, “against”; bios, “life”) is chemical compounds used to kill or inhibit the growth of infectious organisms. Originally, the term referred only to organic compounds, produced by bacteria or molds that are toxic or other microorganisms. The term is now used loosely to include synthetic and semisynthetic organic compounds. Although these drugs are excellent, they are being utilized improperly due to the lack of prescriptions, which is harmful and dangerous for our health. This is exactly what most Christians do. We seldom go to God to inquire before embarking on a project, but instead go ahead on our own strength. This is contrary to the Bible's advice to trust in the LORD with all your heart and not depend on our own understanding. Seeking his will in everything you do will guide you to the right path. ( Proverbs 3:5-6 ) The Gibeonite deceived Israel in Chapter 9...

THE HIJACKED LIFE

  The 9/11 attack, where two planes were hijacked and flown into the North and South Towers of The World Trade Center in New York City, resulting in both towers collapsing, remains one of the unforgettable occurrences in the world.   The attack was not planned by the original pilot of the plane, but it happened because some terrorist hijacked the plane from them. The Scripture mentions a demon-possessed man who lived in a tomb in Gadarenes. Despite being naked and unable to be held by a chain or shackles, it was discovered that an army of unclean spirits was inhabiting him. They are the ones controlling his life. They've hijacked it from him and make him do whatever they want. After Jesus removed them from his life, the man became still and free and began spreading the Gospel of the Lord ( Luke 8:26-39). Most of us are living a life that we don't want or like to live, but we can't control it. It's because our life has been hijacked by the devil or his agent in human for...

YOU STILL HAVE ACT IT OUT (THE MARVELOUS JOURNEY)

After viewing the documentary on Giannis Sina Ugo Adetokumpo titled ‘ The Marvelous Journey ’ from Prime Video. I was reflecting on how he grew up in a slum in Greece and achieved success as a basketball player for  Milwaukee Bucks  in NBA and his country. I inquired with God, 'Have you composed all of that?', The answer was, "Yes, but you still have to execute it." I recalled the vigorous practice, workout, discipline, and deep love for God and his family. Having a script written for you by the producer is not enough; you must show up and perform your role. “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might” (Ecclesiastes 9 : 10). It's possible for you to be chosen to bring your family out of poverty, just like Giannis, or do some great things, but if you don't rise to the occasion. Someone else will be chosen by God. Remember, King Saul was replaced by little David just because of his disobedience. 1 Samuel 13:14 “But now your kingdom must end, for th...
