LOOKING FOR CHRIST IN A CHRISTMAS!

 

LOOKING FOR CHRIST IN A CHRISTMAS!

I was born and grew up in a world infatuated with Christmas. Every year became the very focus for reaching Christmas: nobody can be complete without Christmas. I lived and breathed for Christmas as a little boy: my whole mind was hooked up to this famous idea.

Looking for Christ in a Christmas: a year can't be complete without it. It was always Christmas behind and in front of me. Ho Ho Ho: I was addicted to Christmas.

For children Christmas means parents turn their whole attention to kids as they get to dictate what they'd love to have for their presents. After all, parents aren't expected to fail to provide and spoil the kids, since they always get100% sponsored by the pot-bellied white-bearded Man in Red and White from the North Pole. Ho Ho Ho: there's no excuse whatsoever for letting the kids down.

At least about 60% of the world's children have been brainwashed and raised to believe in Santa and Christmas as the day Jesus was born. This in return, tied all the parents who injected this indoctrination poison into their kids minds: now, they have no choice except to feed the animal till their kids come of age and discover the lies themselves.

Looking for Christ in a Christmas as kids: we were completely on our own when the push comes to shove. Parents were nowhere to be found!

If the Christmas Story was true then, all the kids who believed in Christmas would have become staunch Christians right from their childhood. And what a wonderful world we would have as this would have made Planet Earth the safest place all round. There'd be less crime and more cohesion between the races. Ho Ho Ho: this all ain't true people.

Looking for Christ in a Christmas would have made it easier to evangelize the world as more than 50% had already met Christ in Christmas. Ho Ho Ho: pardon me, I am just waking up from a dream.

When I came of age as a young Christian: I perused thru my New Testament Bible trying to compare spiritual with the spiritual but alas: I couldn't find the Christmas Story. The Manger is real, and so were the Wise Men, the Shepherds, and the Angelic Choristers. The Census Records commissioned by king Herod were destroyed during the Destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D. by Titus, the Roman General.

Looking for Christ in a Christmas is a lot harder for the world to find Baby Jesus than it is to find a needle in a haystack.

Ho Ho Ho: this is the only truth there is in the Christmas Story. Ho Ho Ho: jokes aside: nobody knows just when Jesus was born. 25th December is just another commercial holiday.

Looking for Christ in a Christmas is as futile as it gets: since this day is nothing but pagan and has pagan roots. Ho Ho Ho: Christ and Christmas is like water and oil, there's no connection whatsoever.

A Child is born, and a Son is Given for God so Loved the World: Redemption Story is the only thing that rings true to all those who have met the Redeemer and kissed the Foot of the Cross.

Looking for Christ in a Christmas is what the hostile and carnal world says it is: Xmas. True that, since Christ has never lived nor was born in Christmas. God knows I have never been to church on a Christmas day since I don’t believe it had anything to do with Jesus or the Bible. Ho Ho Ho: merry Christmas to y’all: hisses the Christmas Gringe in me. Happy Birthday Santa Claus!

MY BABY.... SHE'S ALL I GOT!

Feelings, in whatever mood matter sometimes.. . If I must open the window of my heart and let you see the real backdrop behind this narrative... this is it. After being let down by my first daughter and after we've agreed for her to meet her little sister for the very first time... I was very distraught. She withdrew at the last minute. I went to bed with a very heavy heart. I believe the Spirit whispered inside my sad heart these sweet words in the dead of the night. I tossed and turned as I began to listen to my heart, comforting and propping and lifting me higher than I thought I could ever climb. Everything else is history after this amazing encounter of wrestling with these incredible words and lines in my heart. Waking up the following morning was nothing but a formality as I began to smooth all the way to my last verse. Yes, yes... She's My Baby and She's All I Got ! Reflections, realignment, retracing and recollections of the life spectacled usually incognito to the

IN PURSUIT OF A DREAM!

In Pursuit Of A Dream!   Life is great and life is hard! Life is cruel and life is not fair! These are some of the most common overtones heard daily from Space. If the Almighty were to afford you a rare chance to sit on top of the Globe for one day: you like God, will hear these conjectures coming from the corridors of life below.   We live in the noisiest and the most congested Planet as humans. If God had offered a choice to parents in which Planet, they’d wish to have their babies born. Our population would not have risen to Eight Billion Souls as it were.   There are thousands of adverbs used to describe the very life we’re all part of. Life is subject to individual’s interpretation the same had gone through this twisting and endless labyrinth of Human Race and Pilgrimage to nowhere .   Once upon a time. In the busiest day for parents and their kids, who had excelled after their twelve yearlong school of education and gained their deserved university entrance pass.  Thi

SO, YOU THINK YOU HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD?

COMMENTS ... Sometimes, to think that I'm in charge of what I write, where and when I like: is just a wish.  Yesterday I wrote a complete Soweto June 16th Uprisings Tribute.. two hours later, I've had to delete the whole thing. Why? Because l had no witness of the Spirit in my heart.  Well, that's just me! God gave me all these Thoughts and Words to play with the rest of my life. I have gazillion words to play around with.  This narrative came over me early this morning. I felt like God was reminding me of the Covenant between Him and Jesus.  Kenneth Copeland and all the false teachers dance around their mega churches and brag about the Covenant they never had.  I'm always left speechless whenever I see thousands run behind false teachers and false prophets as if they cannot read the Bible for themselves.  I follow Jesus in His Word and nobody else. I am the addict of the Doctrine of Christ!  Nothing fascinates and moves my heart and soul like the anointed Word of God!
