HIS APPOINTMENT AND PURPOSE

The birth of Jesus Christ
was an appointment
and it had a purpose attached to it.
It was preceded by various prophecies,
and the visitation by the Angel Gabriel.

Angel Gabriel is a messenger of God
delegated to visit the virgin Mary.
And he said to her, behold you shall
conceive by the Holy Ghost
and bring forth a Son,
and you shall call His name Jesus,
He shall be great,
and He shall be called the Son of the highest,
and of His kingdom, there shall be no end.
He shall save His people from their sins.
And His name shall be called Emmanuel
meaning God with us.
Jesus also means Joshua/Jeshua - Saviour.

This prophecy came to fulfilment.
Jesus Christ was born in a manger,
in the city of  Bethlehem.
The birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ
is in celebration in many parts of the world,
but Jesus Christ is much more than this.

Jesus Christ was born for a particular purpose,
And that purpose is to reconcile
the fallen man back to God.
He came to be our sacrificial lamb.
He was born, so that one day
He would begin to stand between God and man
for the forgiveness of sins.
For everyone has sinned,
we all fall short of God's glorious standard. ~ Romans 3:23.

Jesus Christ our Lord
had to pay the price
by going to the cross
to shed His blood for mankind,
For God said in His Word
that without the shedding of blood,
there is no pardon for sins. ~ Hebrews 9:22

Jesus Christ has finished
the work of redemption for us
on the cross of calvary.
God said that whosoever
shall believe on Him
should not perish,
but have everlasting life. John 3:16.

Anyone can find forgiveness of
their sins through our Lord Jesus Christ.
True peace and real joy
can only be found
in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ will give hope to the hopeless,
He will mend the broken heart,
restore those who have been down trodden.
For anyone that calls upon the
name of Jesus Christ,
He will save and deliver from sin.
and eternal destruction - Romans 10:13.
Freely Jesus has given,
freely anyone can receive,
Jesus Christ says,
Come to me, all of you
who are weary and carry heavy burdens
and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

You can really get to know Jesus Christ,
by entering into a relationship with Him.
You can receive the life of Jesus Christ
and begin to live a victorious life over
Satan, sin, sickness, depression and oppression.
For this is the reason Jesus Christ came,
that you might have life,
and have it more abundantly. ~ John 10:10.

You can call upon the name of
the Lord Jesus Christ
and ask Him to take control
of your life and He will,
if you do so sincerely.

The bible makes us to understand
that every good gift
and every perfect gift
comes from above. James 2:17.

Jesus Christ is the perfect gift
that has come unto us
from our heavenly father.

Would you like to receive Jesus Christ
as the perfect gift from God this Christmas?
You would be glad you did.
Wishing you and blessed and merry Christmas.

OPERATING THE WORD OF GOD WITH CONFIDENCE

The mind of a person can sometimes be filled with doubt and lack of confidence after praying to God concerning certain issues.

 

1 John 5:4 makes us to understand that: "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

 

How can a person develop confidence in the Word of God? Listen:

 

You need to know how to operate according to God's system.  First of all, you get into the Word of God.  Secondly, you believe His Word, and thirdly, you stand on His Word.  One can do no better until one knows better. 

 

Faith is a practical expression of the confidence that you have in God and in His Word.  The key word is 'CONFIDENCE'.  Faith is going to require confidence, full trust, total reliance, and total commitment.  Be rest assured that confidence grows as you begin to exercise it.  You must spend time with God's word and experience His Word in order to develop that confidence.  When trouble or situation arises, you quickly go to the word in which you have built your confidence and have trust in.  The enemy will try to get you to throw your confidence away.  Hebrew 10:35-36 declares "Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.  For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

 

Do not let what you see, feel, or touch change what you say you have confidence in.

 

MAY YOU CONTINUALLY BE ESTABLISHED ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD IN JESUS NAME.
