Christmas Message
Dearly beloved friends & partners,
I greet you all in the matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Unto Our God who has kept us all through this year be glory, honor, power and praise. As we come to the end of an other year, it's time for us look back and praise God for all his goodness.
Praise the Lord at all times:
As the psalmist says in Psalm 34:1, "....I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth" , let us also set our hearts to praise the Lord at all times. It is His goodness that has kept us throughout this year. Again the scripture says that our times are in His hands (Psalm 31:15) and it is He who delivers us from our enemies. Therefore let us praise the Lord and give Him thanks.
Praise the Lord for one another:
Yes, we went through hard times this year, but the Lord was faithful to send us His Word of encouragement, edification, exhortation and financial gifts through servants of God, family and fellow believers in Christ Jesus. The apostle Paul captures this moment in 2 Thessalonians 1:3 which says, "We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth." So let us thank the Lord for all the love, concern and good works that abounded towards each other this year.
Praise the Lord for your prayer life:
This year, you our dear partners have grown much in your prayer life. This is a marvelous increase. When we were faced with an unforeseen enemy, the Lord filled us with peace, strength and a sound mind. The scripture says in Philippians 4 :6-7, "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus”. Especially Family prayer times has increased this year in the lives of our friends and partners. I thank the Lord for bringing such increase into our lives. As we continue to celebrate the Lord, I I would like to exhort you dear partners with the scripture in Colossians 4:2 "Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving."
Praise the Lord for new beginnings:
This is the prophetic exhortation that the Lord has laid in my heart to declare over you. The Lord is ordering a brand new Phase in the lives of many.
Forget your Reproach: You will forget the reproach of your youth and move on into a glorious time in your life. As the scripture says in Isaiah 54:4, "Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more". Many have moved on and have taken authority over their past, but the memory still lingers on and it has been a constant battle in the mind for many . But as I am speaking these Words to you, all the memory is being wiped away from your lives and you will remember them no more. Many years back the Lord did this for me and I remember the words He spoke to me. He said, "Son, You don't have to remember your past". I immediately laid hands on myself and said, " ...then Lord, please heal my memory" and ever since, I have been healed of it. Therefore, I lay hands on all who need a healing in your memories and I command you to "BE HEALED". Praise the Lord, for He has healed you.
New Songs: The Lord is going to fill your hearts with new songs and the fragrance is going to fill the earth. An explosion of songs is coming. The scripture says in Psalms 40:3, “He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him”. A glorious explosion in Psalms, Hymns and spiritual songs is coming and it will fill the earth. Many will come to the Lord through this move of God. It will bring healing and restoration to many across the earth. Therefore, lift your hearts as I speak these words over you. Receive the psalmist anointing in Jesus name. Praise the Lord for receiving this marvelous grace. I am also speaking a musician's anointing from Psalm 150:3-5 along with this anointing. Receive and be blessed. Great grace abound.
An undivided heart: A wave of oneness and agreement is sweeping over the body of Christ. As the scripture says in Ezekiel 11:19 "I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh”. The power of agreement in the Spirit shall manifest in our lives. As two shall walk in agreement, it will be done here on earth as it is in heaven (Mat 18:19). The Word of God will be exalted in our lives and the name of the Lord will be magnified. Divine manifestations shall abound. Praise the Lord!!
A new name: You shall be called and known by a new name. I will be the exaltation of the Lord upon you as the scripture say in Isaiah 62: 1-3, “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. The nations will see your vindication, and all kings your glory; you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will bestow. You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord’s hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God”. Titles of honor will be bestowed on you in your ministry, work place and nation. The Lord shall increase you and you will be remembered. An accelerated increase is coming upon you. The name of the Lord be magnified.
Dear partner, may the Lord bless you with these Words. I wish you and your family a Blessed Christmas 2020 and a glorious New year 2021. The Lord bless you and keep you. Shalom!!
Your Brother in Christ,
