When the Impossible Becomes Possible: The Holy Spirit’s Gift This Christmas

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Mary asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.” The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1:34-35, NLT)

Have you ever faced a moment so daunting you thought, “This is impossible”? Christmas is the season when the miraculous becomes reality.

The mention and/or introduction of the Holy Spirit is the part of Mary’s story that changed everything. According to natural phenomena at the time, conception could not have happened without a man and a woman coming together. So, she asked, “But how can this happen?”

Maybe 2025 has been the year when you have thought within yourself, “But how can this happen?” Let this message about Jesus’ birth remind you that the Power of God, the Holy Spirit, is ever present. Mary could not have done it alone without the Holy Spirit. In the same way, you cannot do it alone without the Holy Spirit. He is here to HELP. Do not be intimidated by what lies ahead, but trust that with the Holy Spirit in your life, anything is possible. I encourage you to ask boldly, trust deeply, and watch as the impossible unfolds before you.

I pray that as we remember the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit who lives in you will vitalise your mortal body and cause you to move in the right direction, meet the right people, and obtain all the resources you need to achieve what you think is impossible. Step into this season with faith—miracles are waiting for you! Amen

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and many blessings from God!

Is Christ Your Firm Foundation?

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Cody’s song “Firm Foundation (He won’t)” is (to me) an anthem for a child of God. Is Christ your Firm Foundation?

Remember, Jesus said that the person who builds on the Solid Rock has nothing to worry about…whether rain or shine.

The main reason why Christ should be your Foundation is that He Loves You unconditionally. He died for you, and He is interceding for you.
Above all, He is coming again for you. You are His purpose.

Cody highlighted God’s Faithfulness through Christ Jesus. Jesus never fails. Think about this: what has Jesus got to gain from withholding anything from you? The Scriptures say that “for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him” (Colossians 1:16, NLT).

Also in John 1:3 (NLT), God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.

Let me put it kindly: Jesus said, “You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father” (John 14:13, NLT)

In the human context, what can’t Elon Musk, President Trump, or President Xi afford for their children?
There is enough for you. Amen.

God never fails.  He is committed to His Word. He is consistent through every generation. And He is not ready to prototype failure in our generation. There is no precedence, and there will never be. It is not in His Nature to fail, just as there is no darkness in Him.

Today, be happy that you have Him, and also be happy that you are His. Continue to build your life around/on Jesus because He won’t fail you. Let Him be your firm foundation.

‘“Whoever hears these teachings of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on rock. It rained hard, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house. But it did not fall because it was built on rock. ‘ (Matthew 7:24-25, ERV)

My Little Story: The Walking Challenge

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

After my hospital visit in July, the doctor advised me to engage in minimal exercise and avoid straining myself. He told me to take it slowly and lift a top weight of 5 kg. As a result, I decided to use the Samsung Health app to gradually enhance my physical health. Initially, I set the daily step target at 9000, hoping to finish with ease. But after a few days and some excuses here and there, I brought it down to 6000 steps. This new target came with the possibility of having some feel-good moments.

The third and fourth weeks were encouraging, and I felt like a superhuman when I did 15000+. “That is amazing,” I thought. The energy continued to the end of the month, and I made progress with my mobility. Finally, I decided to suggest to my parents that they use their app to improve their physical health. This would be fun for me, as I normally tease them to do something worthwhile. But my mom spoiled the fun. She opened her app to prove that she had been making up to 19000 steps that week.

“OMG! What! 19k, at her age?” I said within. I resolved that if she could do that, then I needed to improve. I felt challenged (I guess my dad did too), so we began to ask questions, and she shared her story.

Lesson:

In this life, at whatever level you will reach, know that someone will be better than you. If care is not taken, you will not be content with what you have and the progress you have made. Instead of being jealous, be challenged. When you are challenged by other people’s progress, you ask questions, you learn, and you humble yourself to be taught.

Humility opens the door to wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. When you humble yourself to learn, you will know and understand the person’s experiences in less time than you would have spent trying and failing.

I felt led in my spirit to encourage you that when you see your friend’s cars, houses, family, job, promotion, etc., let them challenge you. Ask, and be ready to be taught. Instead of being jealous, feel challenged. No one is an island on earth. And no one has a monopoly on knowledge. We depend on each other. God bless you
