PRIDE OF BETHLEHEM

PRIDE OF BETHLEHEM

Matthew 2:6.

“‘ But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.
--------------------------------------------
 A small town in the south of Jerusalem is unheard of. It was not the greatest town in times before the Messiah. Bethlehem was a humble land before God drew it on the map.

But humble as it was, God made His signature appear from there. A ruler was to be born from that land. One who would change all that Israel had become. It was the pride of Bethlehem. It was their season to prevail.

And of course, people started to know the town just after the great story had transpired. Even upto date, people go there to have the feel of what it is like to be in the land where the Messiah was born.

From Grass to grace. 
There is something that God can use to lift you to somewhere your dreams couldn't reach. There is a simple element that God can use to draw your name on the globe. He is not a limited God. He has all the connections on the earth and all the resources. It doesn't take Him hard time to lift the humble.

Even when you are humble, know that God's time to lift you will come. Even when no one knows about you, God knows the time He will lift you to be known by those you may never know. The pride of Bethlehem is a root of humble beginnings. We see that many times within scripture, God has brought up many people who were humble and unheard of. From the times of Abraham through Moses through Esther; God has showed his ability to lift anyone He wishes.
One thing to learn in this season is that if God could lift the others; Bethlehem inclusive, He can lift you also.

                       GOD BLESS YOU

HOLD IT

SUNDAY SERVICE  SERMON:                           HOLD IT   INTRO :  It is easy to go through life and feel embarrassed. And because of such embarrassment, it also easy to feel like throwing out something to compensate for your bad feelings. You feel you should throw out a word at someone, you feel you should throw off the relationship, you feel you should throw off the patience.  There is something that happens behind the scene that we never know about. And if we knew it, we would understand the power of holding it to our selves.   PROB : The problem we have is that we want to seek for compensation in short times, for revenge within no times...and never want to hold reactions for long.   PURP :  To enable us hold our emotions and anxieties in a world of intolerance.       >>> Christ was a man who faced a lot of persecution. He was always sought for by his enemies. They wanted him dead at all cost. Reaching a point of shamelessly paying one of his disciple to bet

THE GREAT BLISS

THE GREAT BLISS Isaiah 42:9  See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” -------------------------------------------- When there is something God is yet to do, He has to get tools within you to accomplish it. And one tool to use in you is the mind you got. God cannot accomplish great things when the mind and heart are stuck in former things...in former years. Before He made Mary have the great son He had to make her forget the former things and focus on the new things. When the Bible clearly says that God has a good plan for us and it assures us that God has no harmful plan for us; this means that what could be holding us back is not up to God!. He has the good plan already. But the nature of our minds may be holding onto the former and never letting it go. Because of the pains you had in the last year, you still revise that and experience pains again.  But there is something new. The Lord has tol
