A time to share God’s Goodness

Christmas is here again. Everyone is excited about this wonderful season of the year. But the truth is that not everyone understands this life changing gift that was given at Christmas. It is the gift of salvation.

The Bible tells us in the gospel of Luke chapter 2. 8-20, that when the shepherds had heard the news of the birth of Jesus, they went in search of the baby. Many times, in our generation, if we lose something, yes, we do look for it. But if we cannot find it, we will let it be. The many parables that Jesus told about the lost was that it was eventually found. This Christmas gift of salvation calls us to live a fruitful, meaningful and blessed Christian life. This is our spiritual challenge. May we become like the shepherds telling everyone that Jesus Christ is born.

This Christmas help someone find Jesus!

What is your motive in serving?

Some gems from my weeks devotion. Any voice that draws people away from God and prevents them from seeing the work of God in Christ, according to the Apostle John (John 10.1-10) are “thieves and robbers” This is a great challenge for us who are in leadership.

“It is not great talents God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an aweful weapon in the hand of God” Robert Murray M’Cheyne (1813-43)

Thought for the Week

Our relationship with God can influence a whole generation. How awesome! But it would be sad if the next generation did not know of this and went after other Gods. The first commandment given would be the first commandment broken. We pray that God will give us the wisdom to use what’s in our hands today and seize the opportunities that God has created for serving Him. (Encounter with God)
