CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS IS IDOL WORSHIP
did you read post or comments from less informed men that celebrating Christmas is wrong?
Well, this was my reaction to one of those people.
State to me how my celebration is wrong?
...
I goto service and worship God, thanking Him for His great love that had made Him give me Christ Jesus without Christ, I would perish in my sin.
I remember the first coming of Christ and like the sherpherd I spread the news that we shouldn't wait for another Messiah that the Messiah has come.
Like the wise men who brought gifts, I give gifts to people (what you do to thy brother in need you've done to me Christ says) therefore by giving gifts to men I join the wise men from east to give gifts to God.
Which part of the above is idol worship?
He said but 25 Dec is Nimrod birthday and I said, its also Pst. Kaingo's (Kaingo is one of my pastors in Harare) birthday and the birthday of many others who were born or adopted 25 Dec as their birthday.
But Santa clause is wrong but Santa clause is a bony like other bonies; dress in red, with white beards and you are a SantaClause.
Did the devil creates 25 Dec?
If your answer is No how then did remembering Christ that day becomes idolatrous.
Everyday is the Day The Lord has made. Glory!!!
If you don't like 25 Dec, propose your own date.
But Christ didn't say we should observe His birth, yes and He didn't rebuked the angels who sang the first Christmas song or the shepherds who spread the news of His first coming (evangelized on that day).
This is a fact, you can't tell the world of His second coming if you didn't mention His first coming.
As much as Christmas is abused by many, yet I celebrate Christmas and am committed to teach the world the right way of celebrating Christmas.
Am not surprised many are against the memory of our Savior's birth, Herod and the host of darkness were also against His birth.
We'll continue to teach you God's word and the essence of Christmas to everyone who care to listen.
God bless you

EVIL

WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
