Topic: A Message Of Hope (Open Heaven 25 December 2020)
Memorise: For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that,
though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his
poverty might be rich. – 2 Corinthians 8:9
Read: Luke 2:6-7 (KJV)
6 And so it was, that,
while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
Bible In One Year: 1 John 1-5
Open Heaven 25 December 2020 Friday MESSAGE:
Jesus came into this world in the most unusual way for a King. The circumstances surrounding His birth alone is a message to the whole world. The Christmas alone is a message of hope. It is a message which says that God can bring greatness out of a manger. It doesn’t matter how humble your background is; Jesus had a worse background just to show that you can soar high and rule notwithstanding your background. I am a living example of how Jesus can transform a nobody into somebody. When I was growing up in my village, we were so poor that even the poor people in the village called us poor.
Open Heaven 25 December 2020 – A MESSAGE OF HOPE
When my father bought an umbrella,
the entire family celebrated; that is how poor we were. I never wore shoes
until I was eighteen years old, and those I wore on that day were borrowed. But
today, because I met Jesus and I am doing His will, people celebrate me all
over the world. There is nothing I want to eat or wear now that I cannot
afford. I tell you: the message of Jesus’ birth is a message of hope that your
tomorrow shall be alright.

Jesus could have chosen to come from the best tribe and place in
Israel, but He chose Nazareth, Nazareth was the lowiest place in Israel, the
slum as they would say in modern parlance. Jesus’ coming from Nazareth tells us
that God does not discriminate against the lowly so He made sure His son came
from one of them. John 1:46 says:
“…Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?”
Some may have asked
“Can anything good come out of your family?” The answer you should give them is
“Yes, I am the good thing that is coming out of my family”. Nazareth has become
popular all over the world now because of Jesus. You will bring fame and
blessings to your family in the mighty name of Jesus.

The wise will tell you
that if you want to achieve what someone has does before, then you should copy
that person. Copy Jesus. Read all that is recorded in the Bible about Him and
just copy Him. Your greatness is assured in the mighty name of Jesus.
Prayer Point:
Lord, help me to
emulate the very character of Jesus during His earthly ministry.
Hymn 21: Now Thank We All Our
God
1. Now thank we all our
God, with heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done, in Whom this world rejoices;
Who from our mothers’ arms has blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.
2. Oh, may this bounteous
God through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us in His grace, and guide us when perplexed;
And guard us through all ills in this world, till the next!
3. All praise and thanks
to God the Father now be given,
The Son, and Him Who reigns with Them in highest Heaven—
The one eternal God, Whom earth and Heav’n adore;
For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore.
