Title: This celebration of joy, was sent to give you a personal experience and knowledge of the Saviour Jesus Christ.
“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.”
Luke 2:10-11 KJV
“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, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 KJV.
As you celebrate this Christmas take time to reflect on the true meaning
of what we are celebrating today.
Many have celebrated the good tidings of great joy but have been eluded by the true meaning of Christmas.
An angel from heaven came down from the throne of Almighty God to make a declaration
and release the joy of this occasion.
The first point from the angel was "fear not".
This Christmas no one should make you afraid.
The author of all fear satan was defeated by Jesus Christ
and we are today celebrating the defeat of fear.
Secondly he said "I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be for all people"-
good news of great joy, not for a selected, privileged few but for all people-
all includes you, your parents, children, relatives and friends.
All does not exclude you because of any other credentials, all means all-
irrespective of your nationality, ethnicity, language, creed, cultural background,
social class, race, education or the lack of it.
Do not exclude yourself from this celebration under any pretext.
Irrespective of whether your parents brought you up as a Catholic, Protestant, Sikh, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Atheist, Humanist, or anything else not mentioned, the message from the angel mean you have a right to celebrate this occasion with joy. It does not matter also what your geographical location is- whether this message is getting to you in Southern, Central or Northern Africa, Western Europe or Eastern Europe, North Asia or South Asia, Australasia, North or South America, or the islands in the North Pacific Ocean or South Pacific Ocean, Islands in the Indian Ocean or Atlantic Ocean- none of that matters. This message was sent for all people.
Thirdly the Angel gave the meat of the occasion:
For you and to you is born on this day, a Man with the mandate, capacity and mission
to complete you, to perfect you, in every area of your life- spirit, soul and body.
To give you every answer in your body, mind, emotions, will and intellect.
Give you the ultimate answer to your spirit-eternal life.
Jesus Christ defined eternal life in John 17:3 as knowing and having an intimate knowledge of God
and having the knowledge of His Son Jesus Christ.
In the knowledge of Jesus Christ is excellence. That is why the Apostle Paul in Philippians 3:7-8 declares that
what things were gain to him, these he counted loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus.
In Jesus Christ is found the excellence of the knowledge of God.
His word also says in Acts 26:18 that the knowledge of Jesus Christ opens one's eyes in order to turn you from darkness to light,
from the power of satan to the power of God.
He holds all governance upon His shoulders, He is amazing, wonderful, full of divine counsel,
possesses all power and authority, full of light, in whom is life,
He is prince of peace, He has everlasting governance, has all authority in heaven and on earth,
He is the author of every positive outcome which He wants you to experience.
He conquered death on your behalf.
When they killed Him, He rose again from death and conquered death.
He is alive today. He is not the baby in a manger anymore,
but His desire is that you may know Him personally.
Open your heart to Him and let Him transform your life with His power and positive attributes
and you will never be the same again. He desires you to live in the presence of Almighty God.
He came to open before you the door to enter into the very presence of Almighty God.
Once in His presence He wants you to experience true freedom-
from fear, from death and from every other affliction of the enemy satan.
He says the thief (referring to satan) comes only to kill, to steal and to destroy,
but He is come so that you may have life and have it more abundantly. (John 10:10).
You need to open your heart to the Saviour, acknowledge Him as Lord of your life
and He will forgive your sin and usher you into the presence of Almighty God.
You need to start a new relationship with Him through His word
because Jesus Christ is the Word of Almighty God.
Glory be to God Almighty forever.
Call to action:
Will you open your heart to Jesus Christ today?
Will you allow Him to rule in your life by His Spirit today?
If yes the following prayer is for you, say it sincerely from the heart.
When you are ready-
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for sending me the good tidings of great joy,
for to me this day is given a Saviour, who is Jesus Christ the Lord.
Thank you
I believe you died and rose again and you are alive today
I open my heart to you Lord Jesus Christ, come into my life and make me a Child of God.
In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a joyous and prosperous New Year 2025, the year of the Overcomer. In this year you are moving with three critical anointings which you need
to overcome the wicked one and have a personal breakthrough in the service of Almighty God.
These three anointings are: 1. A strong conviction on the promises of God powered by the working of the Holy Spirit in your life.
2. The knowledge of the word of God. In this year you are seeking and investing time in studying the word of God. In this year you want the word of God to dwell richly in you in all wisdom.
3. The knowledge of the Father, the knowledge of God and His essential attributes- He is holy, He is righteous, He is faithful,
He is just, His mercies are new every morning, His loving kindness is better than life. He does not fail you.
In this year you want God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit to reveal Himself to you. For this to happen you need a personal prayer agenda with God.
We are praying for you to have your personal breakthrough in 2025 in the areas you have identified and presented before God.
Much grace and peace be multiplied to you.
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
