Who are we Celebrating This Season

23 Dec 2016 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}      

Christmas is drawing near. It has become fashionable to get into a season of celebration, but do you know, who you are celebrating? Well, if you really know, you will celebrate forever.  

 Picture this. Right now, if you dismantle every piece of your mobile phone, and put the pieces in a bag, and shake it, do you think, for a moment, that it will become, your mobile phone again?  

As absurd as it sounds, likewise there are some who claim that the universe, multiple galaxies, stars and this world, all just happened by chance, without an intelligent design and a creator, but with so much precision and detail, let me say macro-detail, to such accuracy, to coincide and synchronize, to be the present universe and world. For example, just focus your mind on the intricacies and perfection of the human body only. Can ‘you’ just happen? While medicine and biology can explain the process of how it happened, and is very good and helpful, we have to realize that medicine and biology didn’t make you.  

Many people live, without ever acknowledging, or giving any thought, to a creator God. Some even would say, that believing in a Creator God is a fairy tale. But the biggest fairy tale is to say that everything just emerged or evolved without any intelligent design, a Creator.

If one would give thought to this truth, I am sure, you will acknowledge a creator. And that is God!
God is One being, but three in person, God The Father, The Son Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit .   

God (Father, Son Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit) pre-existed the Creation. He was life itself, and had independent life.  

 The Holy Bible, the word of God, says, God created the heavens and the earth and all within. But pride enters the heart of an archangel Lucifer, also known as Satan. Satan wanted to take God’s place. This Pride/iniquity is SIN. God and Sin cannot co-exist.  

God then banished Satan from his presence, into Hell, and his army of spiritual beings, which was under Satan, and worshiped Satan. Hell was made for Satan and his demonic angels, not for Man. But Satan’s intention is to spoil God’s plan in any possible way, and he wants to drag whoever he can to Hell with him.  

God in the meanwhile creates a perfect Earth, and made everything in this earth, including darkness, light (Night and day), the seas, the sky, the vegetation, the stars, the moon, all species of fish, birds and animals. Lastly he made Man in his own image - A spirit man. He made all things to be perfect.   
God created man in his own image, in Spirit form and then he formed a human body formed out of the dust of this earth, and then breathed his very breath, his Holy Spirit, into his nostrils, and the first man became a living soul, that is Adam. God breathed his own spirit, so that man could be connected to God, and he can have and walk in the power of God, and have full control of the earth and all within.   

 God loved man so much that he gave man a complete free will.  

Then formed a partner for Adam. That is Eve. He gave them an order to multiply, and subdue this earth, and to have dominion over all other species. God gave all authority to control the whole earth to man. Man and the earth given to man was perfect.  

 God had told Adam and Eve, not to eat the fruit of one particular tree, the tree of knowledge of good and evil. But Satan cunningly entices them to disobey God.  

 Sin entered the hearts of Adam and Eve. SIN separated man from God. This is spiritual death.    Thereby, Adam basically handed over the authority which man had to rule the earth, now to Satan. And now the earth and man fell under the power of Satan.  

The earth, man and all within are now inflicted with so much negativity and physical death.    Even at conception inside the mothers womb, this negative influence of Satan can afflict man. Sin nature which was birthed in Adam and Eve, now comes down the generations, to all of mankind, forever. So we have to understand that when you are born into this world, you automatically are born with Sin nature. For example, a small baby becomes angry or jealous. It is not that they learnt that from someone, but it is in them, in  their nature.   

All human kind, has been exposed to the tree of good and evil that Adam and Eve ate, because of the fall of man.   

One can live a life, free of evil, and do only good deeds. There is a blessing that God has set in order from the beginning of this earth, which will happen automatically, and your life on earth will be blessed, but when it comes to salvation and life after you leave the physical body, all those acts are not going to be able to save one from eternal hell, where Satan tries to drag you. Only God can help you, by removing you from the darkness of Satan.  

 God so loved the world and his creation, that he loves man, and wants each of you to reconcile with him in spirit, by joining into the Holy Spirit.  

God sends his Son, Lord Jesus Christ (he is the second person of God, who created everything ) to earth. He humbled himself to become a mere human being, as Jesus of Nazareth, in his blessed Mother Mary’s womb, through the Holy Spirit, without any influence from his mother Mary or earthly father Joseph, while Mary was still betrothed to be married to Joseph, and was still a virgin.  

Jesus, was totally of God, but through an earthly mother’s womb, in the order that God had pre-ordained for earthly beings to be born into this world.  

Jesus grew up completely sin free. He didn’t have SIN nature, as his DNA had nothing to do with the earthly parents, but he had God’s very own DNA - Thereby made possible, to be totally Sinless.   
At the age of thirty years, Jesus went through the waters of Baptism, to fulfill the Jewish law at the time. He had an amazing ministry on earth for three years, where he did so many miracles, including many healing miracles, deliverance from demonic powers, and even raised the dead.   

But at the age of thirty three, the most important mission which he had to come to accomplish on earth, was to get back the power and authority of this world from Satan, and hand it over to God the father, was to be fulfilled, as the scriptures had predicted. So Jesus went through the persecution, the torture and finally, the death on the cross.  

This was so that he could beat Satan in his own game. Jesus Christ, as a man, won victory over Satan, hell and the grave. Death lost its power, as the Holy Spirit resurrected Jesus Christ back to life. Jesus Christ had eternal life. He is God, and He is Alpha and Omega. 

The Resurrected Lord Jesus Christ, had fulfilled his mission on earth, as a human, and took back, all power and authority, lost by Adam to Satan. Jesus Christ gives this power to the believer, through his Holy Spirit. Jesus was witnessed by many, as he ascended after forty days to heaven, in front of over 400 witnesses. He had promised to send his Holy Spirit. That is why he said he will be with us forever.  

The bible clearly says that Jesus declared that I am the way, the truth and the life, and no man can come to the father, but by me.

Jesus came into this world to give you abundant life, with healing, restoration, and prosperity in every way, just as he did when he walked this earth, he is still doing similar miracles through his believers, who have his Holy Spirit in them,and are walking in line with his word and way of living. But above all, the biggest miracle is the salvation of a soul, where the soul is taken out of darkness, out of the clutches of Satan, into the glorious light of God. 

If you repent for all your sins from birth and believe Lord Jesus Christ is God, and in his death on the cross, the resurrection, and that he has ascended back to heaven where he came from, and you invite his Holy Spirit to come and live in your heart, by speaking it out loud, you will be saved. Till then you have only been his creation, but now you will be a child of God.  It is the entitlement for a child of God, to have an abundance of life, and most importantly, with the dwelling presence of the Holy Spirit living in you, you will not perish in an eternal hell, where Satan was trying to drag you, but you will have life eternal with God. 

Once again I say, you cannot become righteous on your own, through your good behaviour or good deeds, that is self righteousness (you think you are righteous, by your own standard, due to what you think you have done). Your good deeds will indeed receive blessings on earth, as God has ordained that, and also, you will enjoy that to keep your mind happy. But there is no salvation without the righteousness of God.  

You can only become righteous, only through the righteous one itself. When you believe in Christ, and invite the Holy Spirit to live in you, you are now reborn of the Holy Spirit.   

God has given you a free will, as he is a loving God. We as believers cannot be selfish, and keep such an important and priceless, life-saving message a secret. All I can say is, choose wisely and prudently, and save your soul! You will never stop celebrating.

Christmas will now become meaningful to you!
