FAITH CAPSULE: Jesus is the gift of God for all.
John 4:1-38
In your life journey, avoid the world that accompanies you so as not to become derailed.
You are not everybody.
Before God, everyone will answer to themselves before God.
The majority do not understand celebrating the birth of Jesus.
The celebration of the birth of Jesus is more of a commercial time, with limited understanding and not knowing God.
Know that Jesus is the gift of God.
Jesus, at one time, asked a Woman of Samaria for water.
The Woman was reluctant to give Jesus.
Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” (John 4:10)
The answer of Jesus testifies that Jesus is the gift of God.
Without any doubt, Jesus is the gift of God, for all, but the majority do not recognize the gift of God.
Jesus is the gift of God for all His creation.
One who embraces the gift of God will know how to unwrap the gift.
Do you know the gift of God that is in your possession?
A failure to accept the Lord Jesus as the gift of God for all will result in not knowing the love of God.
God gave a gift to the world, but the worldly way of life is missing the gift of God.
God sent His gift that is rooted in His love, stating, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
You are a big celebrant of the birth of Jesus, but you are far from living life by the word of God.
Are you a true believer and not to mistake the gift of God for a commercial celebration?
One who is not mindful of God and the works of His hands is bound to be exposed to the spirit of forgetfulness.
Paying attention to the works of God is giving the jealous God His due exaltation.
It is a blessing to be giving attention to God.
Know and understand that the way assumed as right only leads to death. (Proverbs 14:12)
The book of Psalm 106:13-14 records the forgetfulness of the Israelites, “They soon forgot His works; they did not wait for His counsel, but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tested God in the desert.”
Not waiting on God will lead to wasting away like the children of Israel who died in the wilderness and did not get to the Promised Land.
The lust of the past prevented them from remembering the acts of God that brought them out of bondage.
God was leading the Israelites to a better future, but the failure to engage the gift denied the Israelites the promise of God.
Know how to unwrap the gift of God.
Prayer for today: Ask for understanding and not to be a victim of ignorance.
