The Ultimate gift came in swaddling clothing, wrapped up in the love of God.
A gift from God himself, we call Him Immanuel. This beautiful child came with one purpose which was to die for humanity. This gift of life is why we celebrate Christmas. This gift saved my life and can save your life too.
Would you lend me your ears, when no one will listen my child says the LORD. I'll give you ears to hear, to hear what the Spirit is saying. Give me your ears and hear what the heavens are declaring. They utter mysteries and secretes since eternities past. I am He, the revealer of secretes and truths. I reveal what is hidden in the dark places, in the hiding places. It is of my glory the hide a matter, it is the glory of Kings to search it out. Search the things of me, the one who sits in the secret place. Just lend me your ears, hear what the Spirit is saying.
Most of us would agree that God is good, I mean He is good all the time. We can take it even further and say God is so good that He is incapable of doing evil, which I strongly believe.
My message today basically is that, God will take good care you you; who ever you are, no matter what you do or what situation you find yourself in, know that He will take care of you. Why? Because He is good like that and He is your heavenly Father. I have seen Him do it times without number in my life, where I think there is no hope even giving up sometimes, He then steps in.
No matter the difficulty or how evil the situation may be remember that not only is He is good all the time but also, the devil is bad, all the time. We live in a fallen world where everything leans towards negativity and destruction, so we are caught up in between two realities which war against each other constantly. Yet God's reality that is the Kingdom of Heaven is far superior to the kingdom of the demonic realm, how do know this? Because He takes what was meant to destroy us and turns it for our good, that sickness or those hard times, He completely flips it giving us the victory in turn.
So trust God, pray with out ceasing and remember that the plans He has for you a good ones, plans to give you a hope and a future.

" From the crimson stain upon you robe, with every nail with every pounding blow, with every strip and every bruise upon your back"..........all that was done so that a way would be made for us, to enter into the Holy place so I could come face to face with God!
The cross is the greatest irony mankind will ever know, the death of one brought life to all those who accept. And so here is what I am getting to; His death brought life, Jesus came that men could have life not just any life but life that is sourced from the very source of life itself, Jehovah. To live in such a manner that the world has never seen, walking in love, holiness steadfastly day by day.
So after Easter, after all the lamenting, mourning and celebration what will life be for you after the cross, will Jesus need to go to calvary again for you or will you be continuing the journey to immortal life, because like i said, the cross is an irony, it is not the end of things but a means to an end of something greater than ourselves.
So I ask you what is you final destination, when it is all said and done and time has run it course, what would the finished work on Jesus on the cross have done for you? Will you be seated in heavenly places or will you soul be tormented for eternity knowing you had the chance your pick you your cross and follow Him?
For me the cross is an invitation to a place not many have been and many will never see and that is to know and be with God face to face....
Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed;He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”
Easter is around the conner and it is a time Christians around the world celebrate the death and life of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Because of Christ when can say "death where is your sting, grave where is you victory", this wonderful and beautiful man, this Jewish carpenter single handedly changed the course of History as we know it, but the world does not know this, they do not know about the Saviour that died for them too, He didn't just die for Christians; He died to save the whole planet and its inhabitants (John 3:16).
The question is now how do we let the world know that He died for them too? Or do they already know and just don't care? because Christians, we are good at talking and condemning the world, we have been doing that for centuries. But I think its about time we went back to how things were done which won people to Christ and this is shown all through the book of acts. We can tell the world that Jesus died for them through loving them and through acts of power that change peoples lives! Because in this day and age there is Power, all kinds of power from many different sources, so people even get power from God and use it to harm and destroy the lives of others. I'm talking about power that when displayed it will be a sign to make people wonder about Who God really is, it will completely mess with the way they think but create in them a hunger to search out God. It is the glory of God to hide a matter, it is the Glory of Kings to search it out ( Proverbs 25:2). What I am saying is that Jesus didn't Just die so we could have eternal life, His death did more than that, the cross was so that the human race which was orphaned by the fall of Adam could return the the Father who loves them and restored to a place of Kingship and Right standing!
"Seek me now that I can be found says the Lord!", He is coming soon, sooner than you or I think. Time is running out, but many of us do not feel the urgency. Let us turn from all our sins, change the way we think and align ourselves with God, because He will return, He is not man that He should lie! But He who is faithful and is true has made a way for us to come,Through Jesus Christ. No matter what your past has been and no matter what you have done. This sacrifice of love was so that would not go to hell and That we can be with Him!
He has more for us, He has greater things planned for us, He wants us to reign and rule with Him in the age to come, eye has not seen, ear has not heard the things the Lord has for those that Love him! He is asking us to come and join righteousness, to live for another age entirely, not of this world, but walking steadfastly day by day by day, living like its gonna be your last day! Walking in love and in truth. Walking away from all the jealousy, the strife and the contention. Saying yes to love all day and every day, loving your neighbor as yourself, love is not selfish, it is kind and does not keep records of wrongs. He wants us to take this narrow road and walk it, because when you choose this road, you Choose Him, when you say I repent, I will not be envious, I will forgive, I will love, I walk in Holiness, what you are really saying is God I choose you!
I strongly believe that choosing God, choosing the Kingdom of Heaven over anything that has ever or will ever come your way is the best decision you will ever make, simply because you will never regret it! You will never regret choosing GOD!
Matthew 5:8 Blessed (happy, enviably fortunate, and spiritually prosperous--possessing the happinessproduced by the experience of God's favour and especially conditioned bythe revelation of His grace, regardless of their outward conditions)are the pure in heart, for they shall see God! (Amplified Bible)
Do people really know how much God loves them? I often wonder about that, I mean if more people knew what the mind and the heart of God really felt for them would things be very different in the church and in the world. Well I certainly think so, the reason for this is because I think God is good, i mean really good, I think Good is so good that He is incapable of doing evil, I really think He is that good. Jesus said if you have seen me, you have seen the Father (John 14:8-11). All that Jesus did was good, think about it, how many storms did he release? how many people did he make sick and how many hungry people did he turn away? NONE! Everything Jesus did is what The Father taught Him, so it safe to say that God taught Jesus that healing the sick, rebuking storms, feeding the hungry was a good thing! The Father does not plan evil for anyone but we should remember that we do live in a fallen world, where naturally everything leans towards negativity and evil. When things look like they are bad and they are going to get worse, just remember God loves you and He is faithful to the end, He loved you to the point of death, so tell me if God is for you, who can be against you!
I believe it is possible for anyone who longs for, thirst and hungers for it; that they may know God and be Known by Him, to have a face to face encounter with Him, simply put to dwell in His presence. To talk/discuss things with God as a friend would Face to Face.
Matthew 5:6:Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Exodus 33:11:The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend.
