MERRY XMASS and Happy, prosperous New Year to you.

[Apostle GOC. Ogaraku]

MERRY XMASS and Happy, prosperous New Year to you.

 

"But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a

woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we

might receive the full rights of sons. Because you are sons, Go...d

sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out,

"Abba, Father." Galatians 4:4-6 (NIV)

 

May I greet you with the joyous gladness of the season of Christ’s

birth [The Christmas celebration of the year 2010]

The birth of Jesus Christ came at the right and appointed time, at

the time of God, at the fullness of time "But when the time had

fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to

redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of

sons. Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our

hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father."

Simply and ordinarily with heavy hues and cries and the nostalgia

in the economic and political air;

The pain occasioned by the economic stress and distress capped

by a protracted snowy winter in many places. We cower not under

the mattresses but brave the winter and dare the summer working

hard to make ends meet. I congratulate you all as the true sons of

the soil; the sons of your fathers, the sons and daughters of

IChrist.

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the

government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be

called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting

Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)

Let’s reflect on this Xmass celebration; I want to say Christmas is

not just about the gift sharing, or unusual invitation to a family; it

is not about rice and stew or paper soup or isi ewu, Christmas is

not about the Christmas trees ("O Tannenbaum", or, in its English

version, "O Christmas Tree",) or bout the candle light and

fireworks. All these palaver; these impediments are part of every

festive situation. We can change their styles, colour ao even the

decoration. We can change their official dates or even postpone

the celebration. They are thing made by man and are bound to

perish on day.

Christ mass is about Jesus Christ who decided to take our place of

our sin and set us free from the certain death to life, He certified

us from condemnation to freedom and from misery to victory.

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were

still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

Christ mass is about God who loved the world that he gave his

only son. It is about the love and grace of God. It is about

recognizing the compassion of a loving GOD.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,

that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal

life." John 3:16

It is a time of reflection, counting stock and making a real

decision to make a tangible change

Enjoy your Christmas wherever you are. I pray for journey mercies

for those travelling and peace for all in the name of Jesus the

peace of peace.

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the

government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be

called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting

Father, The Prince of Peace."

May HIS peace perpetually remain with you the whole of 2011

Amen

I remember the yester years, the yuletide of yesterday

Happy & Prosperous New Year 2011

 

“I will go before you (in 2011) and make the crooked places straight; I will

break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you

the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may

know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.”

Isaiah 45:2-3

While wishing you a prosperous and healthy new year, I wish to call you to

open your spiritual eyes to see Jesus and HIS role next year in our lives.

"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." John 1:14 (KJV)

As you recognize Him, then He will go before you. “I will go before you (in

2011) and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates

of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness

and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD,

Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.”

Many have come into contact to Him but have not realized Him. This year

2011 I pray that you shall recognize and commune with HIM Amen.

Dearest Brothers and Sisters, My clarion CALL this NEW YEAR is a

passionate and proactive one seeking:

Ø NEW DAWN WITHOUT BOUND for people globally

Ø Working hard for the realization of the promised Jubilee in Jesus

Ø working hard to create a WIN:WIN Relationship

This year for us is a year of grace explosion; “a year of Favour and unusual

prosperity”. The year 2011 shall be for us all “A year of turnaround for

good” the tide, darkness into light, our nights into day and our segregation

into integration therefore be strong

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them,

for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake

you."

Then you will have success if you are careful to observe the decrees and

laws that the LORD gave Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not

be afraid or discouraged.

1 Chronicles 22:13

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.

1 Corinthians 16:13

The only reason evil triumphs is because

Good men watch unconcerned and in surprise and hands akimbo lacking

lustrer.

Good men simply doing nothing here simply weakling and cowardly.

Good men believing nothing; lacking vision and therefore no mission.

For most of us who are serving and working in the Churches but have not

been born again please take note “THERE ARE NO MORE TIME BE SAVED

TODAY ACCEPPT JESUS” not partial but absolutely. 1 John 4:19 “We love

Him because He first loved us.”

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified;

do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever

you go." Joshua 1:9

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for

the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

Deuteronomy 31:6

Please do not allow yourselves to be harangued by stress or hoodwinked by

distress, keep working hard and looking unto Jesus Christ

Once again I say to you all; Happy and prosperous New Year 2011 for you

personally. Amen.
