The true gift of Christmas

A baby boy born in a lowly manger
In a small town called Betlehem

A King, coming down to earth
So we could have a place in Heaven
Holy is His name, Jesus.

Galatians 4: 4-5
But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.

Do you have a gift?

“Do you have a gift” this is a phrase we often hear as Christmas is fast approaching. It made me ponder on what would Jesus think if He were in the same room as I was. What would it mean if He were to be the One who ask me the question?

As a Believer, Holy Spirit has given us talents. Don’t hide it out of false humility or the misconception that you are never good enough to use it to bless others around you. Are you good at making people laugh? Are you good at baking/cooking with minimal ingredients? Do you have green thumbs? Perhaps you are a good communicator with children or you are a gifted with craft making? Each of these are gifts you could use to bring glory to God. Do not dismiss any talents you may have no matter how insignificant you may deem them to be. Determine your God given gift and share that gift to others.

Please remember that nothing could be given in perfection or of utmost quality but everything gets better with practice, trust the Lord as you learn to improve your gift/ talent.

1 Peter 4: 11
If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

- John W.

Jesus has unimpeachable authority. “He sustains everything by the mighty power of his command” (Heb. 1:3 NLT). “God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name” (Phil. 2:9 NIV).

The Roman government tried to intimidate him. False religion tried to silence him. The devil tried to kill him. All failed. Even “death was no match for him” (Acts 2:24 MSG).

Jesus spoke the truth when He declares, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me” (Matt. 28:18 NIV). He stopped the waves with a word. He spoke, and a tree withered. He spoke again, and a basket became a banquet. Economy. Meteorology. Botany. Food supply. “All things have been handed over to me by my Father” (Matt. 11:27 NRSV).

When we pray in the name of Jesus, we come to God on the basis of Jesus’ accomplishment. Since we have a great high priest [Jesus] over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith. As our high priest, Jesus offers our prayers to God. His prayers are always heard.

Pray. Since God works, prayer works. Since God is good, prayer is good. Since you matter to God, your prayers matter in heaven. You’re never without hope, because you’re never without prayer
