WESTERN STAR OF IMMANUEL

WESTERN STAR OF IMMANUEL

 Matthew 2:1

 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”
--------------------------------------------
The three wise men are at one evening in their eastern territories. Behold, huh...a bright blue "sun" in the night sky. It is there running from the East to West. Ohh...!. 
At this exclamation they stepped forward to pursue the star west wise. 

The bright star Shone clearly. It was the western star of Immanuel.

Being ones who have studied stars and known their relationship to humanity and different births, they well knew that what was born this time is a never heard of thing. It is something they needed to reach out and behold it's glory.

Have you ever wondered what the wise men thought about before embarking on the great journey to the West? Well you may say that they thought what I have said above. But there is something deeper than that...

They could never have seen the wonderful future if they never set out. One thing I learn from them is a future that God sets clearly before our eyes to follow still needs us to set out on a journey to the "west"...a journey to the future. 
The future of the Messiah is here. His reign starts from here. He brings good tidings. 
Immanuel "God with us"... meaning the birth of Christ was one seal for the fact that we are never alone. There is a power that cares for us. There is a person that is there watching us. There is a kingdom that is for us. Immanuel;God with us.

He that was born by the virgin Mary is here with us. He has set His walls in us that no enemy can be able to overcome. He has set His great seal on us that no one can claim possession of us the chosen ones.

Celebrate the great miracle...Mary's little boy...the holy infant...the treasure in a manger...the first Noel. Ride the great ride to the star... through embracing the great salvation brought unto us. Follow Christ. Follow the star. 
                Merry Christmas

                     GOD BLESS YOU

TRIBE OF LENDERS

TRIBE OF LENDERS   Proverbs 19:17  He who is kind and generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life with the mind of "it's not enough...it's not enough". By nature, we were created to recognize the fact that it's we first then .... We were created to survive and always know that there is not enough. Our genes have been made to think about ourselves alone and how we survive in the world of scarcity. This fact that thrives within us is not supposed to be proved true. There are several results that God has set for those that prove such rules wrong. You know, when you try to go against human nature and try to mimic the nature of God, you attract more of what God has set for the cause. As the human nature is self centered and self seeking, stepping out of such to pursue kindness and open hands attracts God's attention...it attracts the rewa...

OLDEN STRENGTH

OLDEN STRENGTH Psalm 77:1 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life thinking about the future and forgetting the past. Craving for the future is one thing I have realized does not end. Even the very rich still have cravings. There can not be a moment where cravings end and the mind is inactive only thriving in gratification. Such a moment is only created by us. Anyway, that was a by- the- way. Our point starts from here. The future does not hold the roots but the past does. The roots are not from the sky but are from where the tree started. What makes the tree strong are the roots .  What makes the future strong are the roots. They are the past. You cannot know where you should go unless you know where you came from. How typical you may know where you came from is another factor.  Knowing that God is great is not knowing the future that holds. Knowing that Go...

FORWARD

FORWARD Luke 13:33  In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—... --------------------------------------------    A Levite in the desert thought was cunning. After killing the Egyptian, he sauntered back to the community. Little did he realise that he was noticed by his fellow and that the news had gone about faster than it could. Knowing this, he fled to Midian where he met the Lord. And being asked by the Lord to rescue his people from slavery, Moses refused. He thought that role was better with someone more superior. But after the Lord insisting, he took the task. The people who were thought as slaves were no lesser to stubbornness and disrespect. They gave Moses hard time. But one thing that happened was forward movement.  Even the Lord used lots of wonders to sustain them through the journey and yet many died from their stubbornness. But regardless of their deaths, the journey went forward. God moved forward. Moses faced the worst of trial...
