I give God Almighty all the glory for another Christmas and New Year Season celebration. It is something to thank God for in a special way.
I wish to remind as well as let us know that this celebration is worth it. The birth of Christ is worth celebrating the way we are doing it now. Christmas celebration is NOT idol worship as some have claimed. It is a good thing that this day and celebration replaced an old practice of idolatry in the ancient Rome. This idol worship could probably still be there now if not that it has been taken over by the real thing which is Christ's birthday i.e. Christmas Celebration.
We are saved Christians or Born Again today because Christ was born. If not that he was born , we will be nothing before God. As we celebrate, let us do this like saved , born again Christians. Let us not be too worldly about it. Let us not steal or compete unnecessarily just because we want to meet up with Christmas expenses.
Let us give to the poor and needy. This is the essence of Christmas. Share what you have with family, relatives and friends. Be friendly and lovely to all this season.
Join in Evangelism this season. Crusades are important this season. Be part of it. Do your Christmas and New Year Mass in your church. Do the best you can this season.
I prophesy God's guidance, protection and prosperity to you this season. There shall be open doors to God's children.
Thank you and God bless.
Merry Christmas & Happy, Prosperous New Year
