However, amidst the flurry of holiday preparations, it’s crucial to pause and reflect on the true meaning of this season: Jesus is the reason for the season. Christmas, at its core, is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the savior of humanity. His arrival brought hope, love, and salvation to a world in need. The nativity scene reminds us of the humble beginnings of the Messiah, born in a stable, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger. This simple yet profound event embodies the essence of the season – the gift of God’s love. In the midst of the shopping lists and party planning, let’s remember the spiritual significance of Christmas. It’s a time to cultivate kindness, compassion, and gratitude. It’s an opportunity to reflect on our own lives and how we can share the love and joy of Christ with others. Acts of kindness, charity, and spreading the message of hope exemplify the true spirit of Christmas. So, as we decorate our homes, bake cookies, and gather with loved ones, let’s not forget the reason for the season. Jesus’ birth serves as a reminder of the incredible gift of love and salvation bestowed upon us. Let’s celebrate with hearts full of gratitude and share the love that Jesus brought into the world with those around us. After all, the joy of Christmas lies in embracing the message that Jesus is the reason for the season.
[Videos] Blessed Good Friday & Happy Easter Sunday, etc. April 10, 2023 bizadmin This Youtube “Good Friday and Easter Sunday” is a short clip. From Wikipedia, Easter, or Resurrection Sunday, is a Christian festival and cultural holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary. It is the culmination of the Passion of Jesus Christ, preceded by Lent (or Great Lent), a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance. Easter-observing Christians commonly refer to the week before Easter as Holy Week, which in Western Christianity begins on Palm Sunday (marking the entrance of Jesus in Jerusalem), includes Spy Wednesday (on which the betrayal of Jesus is mourned), and contains the days of the Easter Triduum including Maundy Thursday, commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper, as well as Good Friday, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. What is Easter? Easter Sunday is one of the principal holidays, or feasts, of Christianity. It marks the Resurrection of Jesus three days after his death by crucifixion. For many Christian churches, Easter is the joyful end to the Lenten season of fasting and penitence. The resurrection power of Jesus on Easter Sunday, defeated the power of the evil one (Satan), once and for all. It is done! I was aware of another property for sale in Batu Maung, Penang. It is a serviced 4-star hotel suite called Oakwood Hotels, managed and owned by Polygon Properties (Ventus & Tradesmen), in Queens Waterfront Q2. It is still under development, by the way, as of today, 9th April 2023. Subscribe, like, comment, and share if you enjoy this video.

Christians celebrate this very important occasion, for it marks the victory of Jesus over Satan, the devil, who came to steal, kill and to destroy! In each of us, there is a Jesus and a Judah. Which persona shows more often? Hope it is Jesus and not Judah, the betrayer. Let the Holy Spirit guide us to do what is right, and not to steal, cheat, and do some hanky-panky stuffs, to win in this race called Life. At the end of the day when we are called home to be with our Maker, then we are held accountable for our actions here on Earth.

Meanwhile, stay safe, stay healthy and most of all, stay HAPPY.
Jesus Makes All Things New August 28, 2020 bizadmin All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. John 1:3 JESUS MAKES ALL THINGS NEW Any electronic product which you buy usually comes with an instruction booklet which says, āSend only to authorized dealers for maintenance and repairs.ā Similarly, when something in your body or life breaks down, you go back to Jesus, your Creator and Maker. You go to Him because Godās Word tells us that āall things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.ā The Bible says that in the beginning, God created everything by speaking (see Genesis 1), and Jesus was the Word who caused everything to come to pass (see John 1:1ā2, 14). So when relationships in your family break down, when your finances are low or when some part of your body isnāt working properly, you go to Jesus who can fix it and even make it better than before! A mother from our church testified of how God gave her a brand-new daughter who used to be a very rebellious teenager. The day the girl gave her life to Jesus marked the start of a new life with her family. She also became the face to look out for in the national swimming arena. When asked by reporters about her record-breaking feats, she told them that it was Jesus who did it all for her! A lady once approached me and said, āPastor Prince, I donāt know if you still remember me, but I came to you before when I was a divorcee. This is my husbandāthe same man I divorced some years ago. We remarried and these are our children!ā Now, this doesnāt usually happen in cases where divorce has taken place, but this couple looked to Jesus and saw their broken family made whole! When man puts something that has been broken back together, it is usually not as good as before. But when Jesus does it, all things become new (see 2 Corinthians 5:17)! The One who made the heavens and the earth is more than able to make it better than it was before!
Seek First Godās Kingdom April 24, 2020 bizadmin [abc] āTherefore do not worry, saying, āWhat shall we eat?ā or āWhat shall we drink?ā or āWhat shall we wear?ā For after all these things theĀ Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:31ā33 As a child of God, know that it is your Fatherās pleasure to meet all your needs. Jesus Himself tells us, āFor your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.ā But God does not want you to seek after things. He wants you to seekĀ firstĀ His kingdom. And when you do that, all the things that you need will beĀ addedĀ to you! So your first priority every day is to seek His kingdom. The word āfirstā in verse 33 is the Greek wordĀ proton, which means āfirst in order or importance, holding the highest place in all our affections.ā My friend, God wants us to seek first His kingdom, and all things will fall gloriously in place. [abc] We are not to seek after things the way Gentiles do. The word āseekā in āthe Gentiles seekā (verse 32) is the Greek wordĀ epizeteo. It means āto seek with all their might with much sweat or with much stress.ā However, the way God wants us to āseekā in āseek first the kingdom of Godā is the Greek wordĀ zeteo, which means āto hunger, to desire to worship.ā It is simply a hungering, a desiring for the kingdom of God, without any labor or toil. But what is the kingdom of God? Romans 14:17 tells us that it is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. And the kingdom of God dwells within you because the Holy Spirit indwells you. So the kingdom of God is His righteousness, peace and joy in you. Beloved, if you want to have peace and joy in the Holy Spirit flowing inside you, then seek every day to be conscious of your righteousness in Christ, not your own righteousness, but His righteousness given to you as a gift. Pursue Jesus first. Spend time with Him and listen to His Word. And when you do these things, you are seeking His kingdom and His righteousness, and all the things that you need will be added to you!

Blessed Easter and The Reason for the Resurrection April 21, 2019 bizadmin who [Jesus] was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification. Romans 4:25 THE REASON FOR THE RESURRECTION The Bible tells us that Christ was delivered up for our sins and raised from the dead for our justification. You may already know why Jesus died for our sins, but do you know the significance of God raising Him from the dead? Let me give you an illustration to help you understand the significance of Jesusā resurrection. Letās say that you are living in a foreign country. One day, you happen to break a major rule of the land. You appeal to the king for mercy. He says, āA rule is a rule. I cannot bend the rule for you. What will others say about my integrity? However, if you can find a substitute to take your punishmentāthree months in jailāI will allow it.ā By Godās grace, you find a willing substitute. He goes to prison on your behalf and you donāt see him for some time. Days, weeks and months pass by. Now, how or when will you know that your crime has been fully paid for? When will you be able to rest easy regarding your crime? It is when you see your substitute walking free again! When you see him out of prison, you will know that the sentence has been fully served. You will know that you are now justified and no one can bring a charge against you for your old crime. No longer will you be afraid of the king or his guards coming after you because you know that the one who was punished in your place is now walking free. Beloved, Jesus, your substitute, paid the debt you could not pay. On the cross, He bore the sins of your entire life. God put it all on Jesus and then He punished Jesus for every single one of those sins until He was fully satisfied. And because He was so pleased with what Jesus had done, He raised Him from the dead. Today, Jesusā tomb remains empty. He is not there for He has risen! His resurrection and empty tomb will forever be our assurance that we have been fully justified. You no longer have to be afraid of God judging you for your sins. His justice is on your side today! -Joseph Prince
