The celebrant gift.

What gift are you going to give the celebrant that will match His present status  

Of all the synoptic gospel writers, it was John the beloved who caught the revelation of Jesus Christ not as a baby in the  manger but as the alpha omega.

John the beloved did not waste time with the story of the birth of Jesus, the wise men from the east, the gifts they brought, the star that appeared etc. He rather went straight to address the current and the present status of our master thus:

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Revelation 1vs 10-18.

10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Looking at the description of who we celebrating his birthday, what do you plan and what do think you can offer Him to make Him happy? 

Psalm 147 Vs 11.

11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

In this season you must fear Him by avoiding anything the the things that He already warned you about.

 Careless lifestyles that will lead to regrets after the season. 

Peer pressure that introduces you to bad habits 

Fake promises that will ensnare you after the Christmas celebration. 

If you have the fear of the Lord, you will not get into trouble and come back to ask for His mercy, though the mercy is available. 

Psalm 149 Vs 4.

4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

Another important thing that will please the celebrant during and after His birthday celebration is to fulfill His purpose of His coming into the world. 

1. He came to destroy the works of the devil. 

2. He came that we will have life in abundance 

3. He came to liberate men from the oppressions of the devil. 

4. He came to save the world from the denger of hell. 

John 3 Vs 14-17.

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Therefore seeing the purpose of our master and Lord Jesus Christ, why don't you make Him happy by going for a fishing while you are celebrating His birthday. 

Be part of the millions of people all over the world that will make Him happy by lining up with the great commission in mark 16.

Mark 16 Vs 14 -18.

14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

All you need is a strategy that must come from His instructions that must line up His will. As you in engage yourself in this mystery and ministry reconciliation, you will watch the master call you the faithful servant that knows His masters will and will reward you accordingly and more abundantly. 

Remember that he that winneth a soul is wise. 

Daniel 12 Vs 3.

3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever..

Let me conclude by leaving you with these few word from wisdom. 

Matthew 25 Vs 31-46.

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Now if don't have plans to give Him a soul as a birthday gift. Please start making your plans now because He is waiting for you and please do not disappoint Him. God bless you all, and have a wonderful and the best Christmas celebration.j
