TODAY’S DEVOTION. PRAISE HIM FOR HIS BIRTH!
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE. "For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of Eternity], Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6 AMP).
The birth of Jesus is the most important event in the world! If the Lord Jesus were not born the world would no longer be in existence. He came to liberate humanity from the shackles of sins and the consequences of it. He was born to redeem man from misery. Can you imagine if Jesus Christ had not come to the earth? He came as a fulfillment of God's promise to rescue us from the bondage of satan. He came that He might destroy the works of the devil.
The opening scripture calls Jesus the Prince of Peace. That means He is the ultimate peace. His peace is not like that of the world. His peace is permanent. It never changes, and it can never be taken away. It is interesting that the word “peace” literally means “to set at one again.” In other words, when we are one with the Father and align our thoughts words and actions with Him through the blood of Jesus Christ, we experience His peace in our lives.
Anytime you realise you do not have peace about something in your heart, when you feel unsettled, turn to Him. Remember, His plans are for your good. He leads you by peace and fills you with His joy. When you choose His ways, you become one with Him and experience His peace and blessing all the days of your life! This should be your primary basis for high praise and worship!
You should be thankful that God gave us Jesus to bring us out of darkness into His marvellous light. Praise Him that His name is wonderful and get ready to see more of His wonders. " Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?"(Exodus 15:11 KJV)
As you praise Him for His birth, remember He is fearful in praises and you can be sure He will do more wonders in your life. Praise Him because He is your Counsellor, Mighty God and Everlasting Father.
TODAY’S WISDOM/ RESPONSE
Our praises will be incomplete without a major praise for His birth, because if He were not born He would not have died or resurrected. Jesus deserves all the glory, honour and praise for coming to redeem us.Mention some benefits of His birth! Praise the Lord! Have a wonderful Christmas!
