DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.) ISAIAH 62:10-12

(10)  Go through,  go through the gates;  prepare ye the way of the people;  cast up,  cast up the highway;  gather out the stones;  lift up a standard for the people.
(11)  Behold,  the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world,  Say ye to the daughter of Zion,  Behold, thy salvation cometh;  behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
(12)  And they shall call them,  The holy people,  The redeemed of the LORD:  and thou shalt be called,  Sought out,  A city not forsaken.

HUSTLING AND BUSTLING

Brethren, though Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior was born many generations ago, every year, we celebrate the essence of his birth, death and resurrection; in this season, multitudes of people over the world are in preparation to once again welcome Jesus Christ into the world, there are hustling and bustling in stores and shopping malls everywhere on planet earth, believers and unbelievers are shopping either for themselves or for love ones; the thoughts behind the hustling and bustling are godly thoughts of love and goodwill;  however, let us not miss the actual facts, that Jesus Christ came to earth on an assignment for our Father, to introduce the kingdom of heaven unto humanity, when his mission was over, he suffered, died on the cross, shed his blood as an atonement for our iniquities, set the captives free from bondage, resurrected from the dead on the third day and have the keys of hell and of death, sitteth on the right hand of our Father, as an advocate to those who trust and believe in him;  when he came to earth, he gave humanity requirements to follow to inherit life everlasting; those words are lively words from our Father that cannot be altered, but are to be adhered to;  therefore, let us remind ourselves that, this holiday season is not about giving alone, but about love as well, give out of love, search our hearts to know the essence of our givings;  allow the love of Christ to reign supreme in our hearts for one another;  the question is;  are we giving out of love or giving because of tradition?;   "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him, should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16);  let us show love, give truthfully and be blessed forevermore.

Let the world rejoice!  Jesus Christ our Lord, Savior and redeemer is coming back again;  this time around, he will give unto everyone according to their works:  therefore, when we celebrate his birth, let us not forget reasons why we rejoice, but give our hearts unto him, if we have not already done so; accept him as Lord and Savior, allow him to use us for his glorification on earth, have salvation and life everlasting;  however, let us beware of the enemy of our souls while we make merries, he is also working to bring souls into damnation; let us do things in moderations and with godly attitudes: for example, if we borrow money from credit card companies to shop, let us not over spend beyond our capabilities to pay off what we owe to avoid anxieties over debts;  if we make merry, let not get drunk with too much alcohol, but consider the Holy Spirit residing in our mortal bodies, if we drink at all, let us drink moderately;  if we drive, then we ought not to drink any alcohol, get drunk before we get behind steering wheels of our cars;  these are some of the loop holes, the enemy of souls uses to torment and destroy lives;  let us beware of his devises.

No one is perfect on this earth; no not one!;  but, we can try to walk in the righteousness of our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  who saved our souls from bondage of iniquities, his blood availeth much; our past, present and future sins are forgiven;  therefore, let us go and sin no more; if we should trespass;  let us no cover up our trespasses, show remorse for wrong doings, ask for his forgiveness and receive our Father's mercies, blood of Jesus Christ that covers all sins forevermore.

CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, it is time for restoration; our Father is restoring his stray children unto himself; souls who will turn from waywardness from world of darkness, receive Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, are blessed forevermore!;  if we already received him into our hearts, whatever maybe our troubles this holiday season;  let us cast all our cares on him, for he cares for our souls, pray fervently, trust, believe in him, rejoice and be exceedingly happy, expect to receive his blessings on Christmas Eve, situations have changed from negativeness to positiveness in realms of spirits;  let us have greater faith; it is done already, receive goodwill and be happy forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!
