  • How to receive Good News from God

    How to receive Good News from God

    Welcome to the second day of our annual Blogmas. The theme of this year is the Essence of Christmas.

    Thank you for journeying with me through the book of the Gospel according to Dr. Luke.

    I will call chapter 1, the chapter of Good News because 3 different people received the good news that changed their stories.

    The first recipient of this news is Governor Theophilus. He has the privilege of receiving a step-by-step account of the greatest man ever born by a woman – Jesus Christ

    It also seemed good to me, since I have carefully investigated everything from the very first, to write to you in an orderly sequence, most honorable Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things about which you have been instructed.
    Luke 1:3‭-‬4 (HCSB)

    The challenge before you and I is how do you we treat the message of salvation, hope, and love sent to us by Yahweh during this period?

    Do we keep it jealously like Theophilus because had he been he has treated it nonchalantly, we might not have had this beautiful account?


    Furthermore, the family of Zechariah and Elizabeth received the second good news of the birth of a special son after years of none.

    They have given up on birthing but God said no

    But the angel said to him: Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John.
    Luke 1:13 (HCSB)

    My dear, the Almighty has not forgotten you.

    Also, this yuletide is a clear indicator that God has not forgotten humanity in that while we are yet sinners, Christ dies for us.

    The third recipient is Mary, the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    She received the best news ever – the news that her age-stricken cousin Elizabeth has taken in and that she will give birth to the Saviour of the world.

    Now listen: You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will call His name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.
    Luke 1:31‭-‬33 (HCSB)

    Dear, you may not give birth to another Jesus but I am prophesying that your life will birth new things in Jesus’ name.

    Moreover, what qualities do all the 3 entities have? One thing; they are all lovers of Yahweh.

    Theophilus means God’s lover and it was said of Zechariah and Elizabeth that they were ‘both righteous in God’s sight, living without blame according to all the commands and requirements of the Lord.’ and Mary was a humble virgin (Remember God resists the proud)

    Do you love God?

    If you want to receive good news from God, love God.

    See you tomorrow.

    2023 – When A Medical Doctor Meets A Governor In the Bible

    It’s another time and season to remind ourselves of the true meaning of Christmas. We do that here through a template called Blogmas (Blog+ Christmas). Thanks for staying for the next 25 days leading to Christmas.

    For your information, dear new friends and followers, this edition is the third edition. The first edition was themed Miracle So Extraordinary. The second was tagged The love of Christ while the third edition will be themed, The Essence of Christmas.

    Remember we agreed last year that Jesus is the foundation of all Christmas plans and celebrations and that the only way to know this God-Man is by reading the Word – The Bible. Therefore I recommending the book of Luke, a chapter, a day.

    For this edition, we are perusing through the book of Dr. Luke for the next 24 days and extract lessons therein. Lessons that will make our worship, Christian service and celebrations, an awesome experience.

    Now, who is Luke? Luke is a physician, a companion of Paul, the apostle, and also the writer of Acts of Apostles which is also written to the recipient of the his first book, Governor Theophilus.

    In addition, the Gospel according to Saint Luke is one of synoptic gospels, have 24 chapters detailing the humanity of Jesus Christ.

    Lastly, I am employing you to journey with me to discover Jesus in the pages of the book written by Dr. Luke. Thanks.

  • The Best Christmas Hymn

    In anticipation of 2023 annual Blogmas titled The Essence of Christmas. Let’s sing the Magnificent:

    My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior, because He has looked with favor on the humble condition of His slave. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed, because the Mighty One has done great things for me, and His name is holy. His mercy is from generation to generation on those who fear Him. He has done a mighty deed with His arm; He has scattered the proud because of the thoughts of their hearts; He has toppled the mighty from their thrones and exalted the lowly. He has satisfied the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty. He has helped His servant Israel, mindful of His mercy, just as He spoke to our ancestors, to Abraham and his descendants forever. And Mary stayed with her about three months; then she returned to her home.
    Luke 1:46‭-‬56 HCSB

    Hallelujah.

  • 7 Christmas themed Q &A

    Seasons greetings to all. How are you all doing and feeling today?

    I bring to you Blogmas day 6. Yes, I’m here again.

    Today I will be answering some questions about Christmas

    1. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT CHRISTMAS?

    My favorite thing about Christmas is who we are celebrating – my Lord Jesus Christ.

    Powered by Tenor.

    2. WHAT DO YOU HATE ABOUT CHRISTMAS?

    I hate how reckless people get during the festive season. A LOT of accidents happen due to people drinking and driving, people get bankrupt because they borrow money that they can’t pay back – it’s just crazy and many people celebrating it are not even born again in the first instance.

    3. WHAT IS YOUR BEST CHRISTMAS YEAR SO FAR?

    My best Christmas year so far is 2021 because it is my first Christmas as married.

    4. WHAT DO YOU DO ON CHRISTMAS?

    I go to church. Arrived home to eat Christmas food of amala*, semovita or rice and chicken with the household and distribute in the neighbourhood then also expect Christmas’s food from our neighbours. 😄😃😄😃😄

    5. DO YOU HAVE A CHRISTMAS TRADITION?

    There are a lot of family Christmas traditions I grew up with but the one I like most is that one where we went from one relative’s family to another, eating and drinking.

    6. WISHLIST FOR NEXT CHRISTMAS?

    I wish that peace reigns throughout the world and the every hungry, naked and homeless individuals have something to eat, cover themselves and sleep. I know my wish is not too much.

    7. DO YOU BELIEVE IN SANTA?

    I don’t believe in a fairytale and most of the Christmas programs organised here involving Santa Claus is just an avenue to lie and siphon money from the unsuspecting public. I mean why lying that one father Christmas is coming from Rome when it is obviously that it is Mr. Tunde, my next door neighbour that is inside the cape?

    Feel free to answer any of these in the comments….

    Question of the day: Name a country you wish to visit in 2023?

    For me: Isreal (let me know about your answer in the comment)
