FAITH CAPSULE: Jesus is the gift of God to all.

Luke 2:1-21

Giving gifts without a place for the Lord in your inn is the same as lying, deceiving, and manipulating.
Are you with the mind to celebrate the gift of God by opening your inside for Him to occupy you?
God sent His beloved that will enable one not to perish.
Luke 2:6-7 records the coming of Jesus, “So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.”  
Jesus, the King of all, was born in a manger. 
The Eternal Shepherd of all shepherds could have forced the opening inn for His arrival while He was still in the womb. 
Are you going to open yourself for Him to occupy you?
He came silently and wrapped in swaddling cloth. 
There was no space for Joseph and Mary at the inn. 
The inn that matters to Him is your inn. 
It does not matter the gift that occupies your inn, but be available to accept Him as your gift.
He spoke in Revelation 3:20, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him, and he with Me.” Jesus came to have a place in our inn so that we overcome and be granted a seat with Him on His throne.” 
To deny Him access into your inn is the evidence of having been filled with self. 
He who is full of self is one with lying, deception, manipulation, and all sorts of selfish character.
Jesus is knocking at the door of your inn. 
Will you grant Him full access and have yourself engaged in the privileges of having Jesus in your inn?  
When the knock came at the inn, there was a lock-out. 
The privilege of the inn to become the most well-known inn in all creation came knocking, but it was too full to be used for the birth of the Lord. 
What are you filled with? 
Giving gifts without a place for the Lord in your inn is the same as lying, deceiving, and manipulating. 
As time and the seasons continue to reveal things to you, you should begin to make arrangements to be ready for what is coming. 
Jesus is here to prepare your inn for His coming back. 
Send off lying, deception, and manipulation to let Him gain entrance.
Live in a way to let Him into your inn, and make your inn become where He lives.
Jesus is here, and He will be back after now. 
Be ready for Him!  

Prayer for today: Ask God to turn your heart unto Him like the rivers of water that you live to serve Him all the days He has given to you.
