INCARNATE DEITY   John 1:1, 14  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning.  14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth -------------------------------------------- Before the world was made, Jesus existed. Before the universe was formed, He was formed. He is the first born of all creation. He was brought forth as an overseer of all creation. He lived with God more than any other creation. He studied at the throne and is endowed with greater wisdom than all creation.  Being God's child; one in the likeness of God the Father, He was given more access to heavenly resources than any other creature. He had the most love, most knowledge, most command power. And that even through Him, all things were made. When it came to the project of human extinction, Immanuel intercepted. He suggested

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

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN   Isaiah 52:7.  How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!” --------------------------------------------  It is not good to receive good news and you decide to keep it to yourself. There is a purpose as to why God set you to receive the good news. Not everyone receives news at the same time. One person will receive first and is expected to supply it to others. It is a season of great news, the Messiah who was born 2000 years ago reigns. His birth is a mystery to many. He was born of a woman who was a virgin. It is salvation to all nation. Not just for you but to all. Go tell this on the mountain that Jesus was born. There are several people who still think that the Messiah is yet to be born. This is so especially in the Jewish community. They still wait on the king that was promised. They are the people you are to p

ODYSSEY OF THE GODLY 2 Corinthians 7:10  godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 11 See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter. -------------------------------------------- When he was born, he was a young and an admirable son. He was liked by all that knew him. And that because he was born of a woman who was a virgin, Jesus was known even in his youth hood by many. The time came , it was time for him to exibit all that that God had sent him to do. He started to preach in the temples as young as 12 years. He however started his ministry when he was 30 years of age. When he started to show who he was, the world started to hate what he was. His journey started being rough when he showed

GLORIFIED Romans 8:30  And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. -------------------------------------------- There is a path that we move through. It is small and rough to us. It seems not easy. It goes against common conscience. It is painful in this generation.  There is a belief that we behold that is controversial to common beliefs. It is right but a little hard to move along with.  Moving through the realm of salvation is not an easy project. It is filled with ups and downs. Even within scripture, it is said that Christian suffering are not a strange ideas. It is common happenings. That in as much as Christ suffered in this world, we too must suffer. We must carry the cross similar to what He carried...we must carry our own cross.  However, like Peter asked a question to Christ, "what do we gain from following you after we have left our families and our children and our business."; I

JEHOVAH NISSI Exodus 17:15  Moses built an altar and called it The Lord is my Banner. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life and forget about anyone who cares . It's easy to walk through the matrix of this world and never think of somebody. But there is a fact here; whether you think there is or there is not, the eye that sees all knows you. A person is watching you and directing you where he knows you cannot. There is no fact as to believe that we exist all alone. There is no fact to believe that no body cares about you. There is fact as luck. There is some force that is behind progress. A man that came to die for your sin never gave up. Even when he said it is finished on the day of crucification, it is not all finished. He stands before the presence of God to intercede for you day and night. He is Jehovah nissi; a banner that is there for you and me. When you are weary, God is your warrior. When you are hopeless, God is your hope.

ROSE OF SHARON   Songs of Solomon 2:1  I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. -------------------------------------------- He thinks about her all the time. It is time for dinner, what food should she have. And that it is Christmas, she needs the best of outfits. Even when she is asleep, He thinks of what good dreams she should have so that her night is not a waste of time. He loves her with an eternal love. To the greatest length, He sent His only son to save her. She the rose of Sharon. Beauties in the plain. Have you ever thought about the magnitude of love that God has for you.? Do you know the number of times God calls your name each day as He summons Angels? Well, you might not know the number of times and amount of love. Mere fact that at one point we complain of not having received this or that means we quickly forget of eternal love. Even the Israelites were of the same Gene. God did marvelous things to them to the extent of dividing the sea but they quickly
