AFD DECEMBER 2020: EMMANUEL – JESUS THE CHRIST
MONTH DECEMBER 2020: EMMANUEL – JESUS THE CHRIST – BORN IN OUR HEARTS!
Month DECEMBER as all know, is the Month TWELVE (12) of the Georgian Calendar Months. It happen to be the last in the numerical Monthly count of the yearly numbering. Besides this, there are other indications of the number TWELVE. Herein are few for your perusal:
** The number 12 is ubiquitous — it’s the number of months in a year, hours on a clock face and the number of members on a typical court jury.
** The number 12 is mentioned often in the New Testament of the Bible, such as Jesus’ selection of 12 apostles. That choice was deliberate, with each apostle representing one of the 12 tribes of Israel. In the most of cases number 12 is actually a representation of authority and perfection.
** The number 12 can also represent the church and faith in general. It can be also used as a symbol of divine rule, actually the symbol of the perfect government of God.
While Month DECEMBER is unique in many ways, in terms of been the twelve as mentioned above, it’s also gracious to enhance the goodness and blessedness of the BEAUTY in DECEMBER as per the Scriptural writs of the month DECEMBER theme:
“For unto you is born THIS DAY in the city of David a SAVIOUR, which is Christ the Lord“ Luke 2:11.
“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST“ Matthew 16:20.
“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US” Matthew 1:23.
THIS DAY – BEING TODAY – LET – EMMANUEL – JESUS THE CHRIST – BE BORN – IN YOUR HEARTS. Upon this phrases in terms that the Month DECEMBER 2020 is Themed.
EMMANUEL – mean – God With Us – thus signifies God dwelling (or comes to dwell) with humanity – thereby creates a new passage for a new kind of RELATIONSHIP between us and Him. We lost this FELLOWSHIP in Eden of Adam; but God in His LOVE at the Birth of JESUS The Christ, RESTORED this awesome FELLOWSHIP to enhance our RELATIONSHIP In Him, in the CAUSE of His REDEMPTION for us in Christ Jesus stead.
God in humanity is JESUS in name; while CHRIST depicts Him as – the Messiah, the Saviour, the Redeemer and the Holy one of Israel for His cause on earth for human redemption.
We’ve been called into this FELLOWSHIP that we might enjoy God and the heavens on earth again, so we can say that as He is, so are we in this world and can joyfully ask of His will in our domain on this side of heaven call the earth as it’s written in the Holy Writ – 1 John 4:17, Matthew 6:10. This is the REASON then for the SEASON, the DECEMBER mood that comes along with CHRISTMAS which thus is:
“The Yearly And Annual COMMEMORATION And CELEBRATION of God’s LOVE In Christ Jesus And His REDEMPTION CAUSE On EARTH”
It is as we EXPLORE this relationship and fellowship of JESUS The Christ as our God EMMANUEL, who is now here living – IN us, FOR us and WITH us – that is when our PATH OF LIFE is ordered and we can then enjoy to the FULNESS the abounding PLEASURES of God in His grace and BLESSEDNESS forevermore.
Today as in this Month DECEMBER that prelude the CHRISTMAS season, let us take advantage of the indwelling EMMANUEL – JESUS the Christ, to enjoy continuously, God’s presence in fellowship and in our path of life – to keep us thriving, blossoming and glowing with His pleasures in life and godliness.
Therefore, in this Month DECEMBER, let’s commemorate and celebrate Him for He is indeed born in our hearts and in our being. His birth is the rebirth of:
*Peace and goodwill toward men
*Hope, Faith & Love for men
*Fellowship and Relationship with God
* Salvation for all mankind and more.
However, as wonderful as Christmas commemoration and celebration is, be it known that Christ is enthroned.
a. He’s no longer:
* The babe in the manger
* The servant to death
* The limited one and
* The Christ on the Cross.
b. He’s now the:
* God on the throne
* Omnipotent- (unlimited, all powerful)
* Omnipresent – (ever present, everywhere the same time) and
* Omniscience (all knowing, all understanding and all wise).
May Christ be all that is mentioned above to you, this Day, this December. I pray you have a blessed celebration and commemoration. Therefore Today, THIS DAY, I pray that Emmanuel comes to be in your life, in this Month DECEMBER, this season that prelude the Christmas, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15
“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us” Matthew 1:23
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31
“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” 1 John 4:4
“And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. 45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures” Luke 24:44-45
“Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph” John 1:45
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” Hebrews 1:1-4
“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1Corinthians 1:9.

“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11
