My dear brother and sister in the Lord,
I greet you with the words of Paul's letter to the Philippians chapter 1:3-6
3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
This month as remember the how God loved us and sent His only son to come and die for us, it is my prayer that we be the people whom the Lord will use next year to touch the lives of many people.
This Christmas as we celebrate His coming, let us remember who we are in Christ. I want you this Christmas think of the word of God in these verses; for I know He has brought Life and would like the world to see this life through us who are called by His name. Romans 12
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Why does the word of God say that? It is because we are salt and light to the world.
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:13-16
And also when believers stand and pray, the whole land benefit. 2 Chronicles 7:13-15 13 When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
For that reason, and that God works through us, as we celebrate Christmas, let us think of this great love and be able reach to others.
Have a blessed Christmas and a happy new year.
I remain your brother in the Lord
Moses.
