BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY “...the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David.

CAN GOD USE YOU?

Dearly Beloved, CAN GOD USE YOU? “...the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, ‘Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!’” (Luke 1:26-28 NKJV). The Christmas season for the year has come and gone. Regardless of the debate of some people that Christmas is not “Christian,” let me draw out a lesson from one of the personalities of the biblical stories related to the season. The Virgin Mary was the second most important personality in the Nativity stories. God specially used her to be the vessel of the delivery of the Baby Jesus. The virgin birth of the Messiah had been prophesied hundreds of years before it actually happened (see Isaiah 7:14). There were many virgins in Israel during the time of Mary. She was highly favoured to be the mother of the Savior. However, some qualities in her distinguished her from all virgins and women of her time. She was pious. She was virtuous. She was humble. She was faithful. She was not doubtful. She was ready to be an instrument in the hands of God, even when it seemed that such readiness would bring possible rejection from her fiancé and disgrace from the society. No wonder, she was highly favored and blessed (see Luke 1:28, 48). God is still looking for people that He will use for His plans and purposes today. Can He find you useful for His service? Are you pious? Are you humble? Are you faithful? Are you not doubtful? Are you ready to be an instrument in His hands regardless of the seeming bad consequences this may bring you in the world? God is ready to highly favored and blessed you. Be ready to be of good use to Him as we are about to enter another year. Make yourself available to Him. You will not regret doing so. In His service, Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor). Prayer Point: Pray that you will be available for God's good use as you are about to enter another year.

He put you here so you can get to know him. - Rick Warren ************ PRAYER/ACTION FOR THE DAY Pray that you will continue to know more of God in your life.

WHAT DOES THE CHRISTMAS MEAN TO YOU?

Dearly Beloved, WHAT DOES THE CHRISTMAS MEAN TO YOU? “And [Mary] will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21 NKJV). One of the most celebrated seasons in the year is the Christmas season. The season is here again. Many people, especially the children, have been caught the “fever” of the season. There has been this controversy about the origin of season. Many are of the opinion that it originated from a pagan festival. This has made some Christian denominations and sects to distance themselves from the season. Other people would argue that there is no such celebration in the Bible. Many people believe that the Christmas day is the birthday of Jesus Christ, although, this has been disproved from many evidences. However, what does the Christmas mean to you? Christmas is just a festive season to some people. Therefore, such people are ready to celebrate it just as they celebrate any other festive period. They see the season as a time to entertain themselves. Among such people are the ones that believe in taking their children to visit Father Christmas who will entertain the children and gives them gifts for a token. Christmas season is a period that some people feel they can make quick profit in their business or enterprise. Therefore, they inflate the cost of their wares and services. Most people, especially Christians, attach the season to the first coming of Jesus Christ into this world. However, some people are indifferent. To them, Christmas season or even the Christmas Day is like any other season or day. However, one has to consider the popular opinion about Christmas – the birth of Jesus Christ. Why did He “made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness” (Philippians 2:7 NIV) by coming to this wretched world? The main reason is to save people from their sins (Matthew 1:21; John 1:29; Acts 13:38-39; 1 John 3:5; Revelation 1:5-6) so “that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16 NIV). This singular act entails many other things that give Christmas different meanings to different people. Regardless of any other meaning attached to the Christmas or any controversy about it, the paramount thing is that Jesus Christ came to this world in a time in history for the salvation of humankind. Have you been saved by Him? What does the Christmas season mean to you? In His service, Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor). Prayer Point: Pray that the real meaning of Christmas will not elude you this Christmas season.

WHY CHRISTMAS?

Dear Beloved, WHY CHRISTMAS? “And [Mary] will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21 NKJV). The Christmas season is here. It is the most popular and most festive of all seasons. Companies and other institutions celebrate the season in a grand style. Kids always long for the season because of its merriment, especially the visit to “Santa Claus” – who gives them gifts. Many people send greeting cards and gifts to their loved ones. Nevertheless, why Christmas? Why celebrate it? Christmas commemorates the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ in a manger in Bethlehem some two thousand years ago. What made Jesus who is in very nature God became like us? What made Him appear like an ordinary person? The Bible unveils at least eight reasons. Jesus Christ came to the world for many reasons. One, He came to save people from their sins (Matthew 1:21; John 1:29). Two, He came to call sinners to repentance (Matthew 9:12, 13; Mark 2:17; Luke 5:32; 1 Timothy 1:15) and save the lost (Matthew 18:11; Luke 9:55; 19:10; John 3:17). Three, why some people thought that He came to abolish the Old Testament laws, He actually came to fulfill them (Matthew 5:17). Four, His coming to the world physically is to set people free from the darkness (John 12:46). Five, He came to preach the gospel (Mark 1:38) and bear witness to the truth (John 18:37). Lastly, He came to the world to do the will of God (John 6:38). From the above points, Jesus Christ came to restore us to God. What about you? Have you come to God? Have you accepted Him as your personal Savior and Lord? Celebrating Christmas is meaningless if you have not accepted Jesus Christ into your life. The purpose of Christmas is the eternal salvation of you and me. Let this historic season fulfill that purpose in your life. In His service, Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor). Prayer Point: Pray that the purpose of the first coming of Jesus Christ to the world will be fulfilled in your life.

O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL

Dearly Beloved, O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL “Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, 'Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him’” (Matthew 2:1-2 NKJV). The Christmas season is here again! It was like yesterday that we celebrated the last one last year. Thanks be to God for sparing our lives to witness another season. While some people are indifferent to the season and its cause, many people would have started planning on how to utilize the season to their advantage. Unfortunately, most of these people will still commit the error of leaving the Reason for the season, Jesus Christ, out of the season. The season is to be used to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ by adoring Him in all way we can. The Magi from the east came to Jerusalem to worship the new born King. The concept of adoration of Jesus Christ the Lord during Christmas season, and even all seasons, might have prompted the writer of one of popular Christmas hymns, “O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL” (Adeste Fideles) who many people believed to be John Francis Wade (c. 1710-1786) to invite people to come and adore the Christ the Lord. Wade summoned all the faithful to come joyfully and triumphantly to behold the King of angels and adore Him. Wade used the hymn to describe who this new born King is: “True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal... Son of the Father, begotten, not created.” As the shepherds and the Magi came to adore the new born King, we also ought to come and adore Him. We should give all glory to Him now and forever. Amen. Any celebration or activity during this Christmas season that does not give glory to Jesus Christ is not pleasing to God. He wants us to use the season to worship Him. “O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.” In His service, Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor). Prayer Point: Pray that your activities during this Christmas season will indeed give glory to Jesus Christ.
