Christmas, A Big Deal for the Church Forever

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Christmas will forever be a big deal for the church regardless of how corporations and people try to twist it to fit their narratives. The reason is simple and very brief: Without Jesus Christ, there is no Church. That is the Church exists because of Jesus Christ. He laid the foundation for the building of the Church and he added that “I will build my church; and all the powers of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18, TLB).

The church already has its foundation built on a Solid Rock that cannot be moved and/or destroyed. And Christmas is a season to remember the joyful entry of the One who is the Foundation, the Builder, and the Head of the Church. Since the Church cannot be destroyed, Baby Jesus will forever be remembered. Hallelujah!

Jesus Christ is the reason for Christmas and the Church upholds this forever. We will tell this story to the world, and continue to teach our children and grandchildren.

Thought For The Day: Immanuel (12.25.21)

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Look! The virgin will conceive a child!
    She will give birth to a son,
and they will call him Immanuel,
    which means ‘God is with us.

(Matthew 1:23, NLT)

As we remember the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, we should also remember that Immanuel means God is with us. God is with us when life is cozy, and He is with us when things seem disarray. The important thing to note is that when God is in the midst of His children, everything turns out well.

As we celebrate Immanuel, I pray that God shifts people and events in your favor in Jesus’ Name. Amen. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

A Perfect Gift For Christmas

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Christmas is here again and people are wondering what to shop for considering the supply chain issues and inflation. It will interest you to know that people do this as a normal yearly routine so that their family and friends would be okay with them. You hear words like “I need to get this for my kids”, “I have to order for my neighbour”, “I have to put this card in the post” etc. They do these as a seasonal gesture.

However, Christmas is about Jesus Christ. The true representation of God’s Love for the world. John 3:16 says that “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son” (TLB). Baby Jesus was God’s love for you and I.

Christmas is more transformational in nature than transactional. It shouldn’t be about you give me this, and I give you that. Christmas is about the expression of God’s love to you, and how you demonstrate this love to the next person.

In effect, a perfect gift you can give this christmas is LOVE. Let genuine Love drives you in what you do. Love has many things to offer. For instance, Love gives. Love forgives. Love cares. Love tolerates. Love understands. Love unites. Love shares. etc. So don’t just focus on gifts and food for your family but reach out to those who hurt you most in the year and let them know that you have forgiven them. Walk around the streets and do good to the homeless. Reach out to comfort those who are in pain because they lost someone or something dearer to their heart. You can be the Jesus Christ God is sending into someone’s world to bring joy, peace, and prosperity.

Merry Christmas from Uplifting Christ. God bless you as you take His Love to the World.
