What Does Christmas Mean 
to You?


DEEPER MEANING OF CHRISTMAS


I would like to take this opportunity of wishing you all a very Blessed and Happy Christmas!  As the Christmas season comes and goes this year, may hope be found in the truth of God’s word and the knowledge of His unchanging love for you every day of the year.

Across the globe we celebrate Christmas every year almost as a ritualistic routine and festivity. We know it to be a time for family, friends, socialising with special events and reconnecting with people that we do not have the time to catch up with throughout the year.

Christmas is just a date on the calendar for so many.  This year, I would like to share with you the true meaning of Christmas:


The Word became flesh (John 1:14)

While God had walked in the garden with Adam and Eve and showed up in various forms and moments in Israel’s history, the event of the birth of Jesus Christ was different. Why so?  Because this time, He didn’t take the form of an angel or just do some incredible, unexplainable feat. This time, He came as One of us! The Eternal God became a finite man. He entered history at a specific time and place as a member of His Creation. The angel Gabriel announced His coming to Mary and God also sent a message to Joseph. He caught the attention of the magi from the east who came looking for the Messiah King. Angels appeared to shepherds in the field praising God and announcing the birth of the Saviour. God broke 400 years of silence with a different sound…the cry of a baby! This was a holy, truly awesome moment in time that changed time for all eternity!


Christmas Divides History

No other birth in the history of mankind has carried greater significance. This event  literally split history in two. Take a moment to ponder on this.  There is no king, emperor, prophet, or spiritual leader ever who has influenced the course of history more than Jesus Christ. 
While Christmas is a time to remember the birth of Christ, it also marks a gigantic, God-sized day in the history of man’s relationship with our Heavenly Father. 

Many have tried and some have made noticeable ripples in history, but none like this. Jesus was a carpenter’s son and itinerant preacher. He didn’t lead armies or write books or earn rewards and honours and accolades. He didn’t try to organize people (though they were drawn to Him) or even really spread His teaching (though it spread like wildfire). Yet, He changed history like no one ever has or ever will simply because of who He is. 


Immanuel

What a name! What an earth-shattering reality. God with us. Our Creator God who formed the heavens and earth and all the universe with but a word was here as one of us. Not to mete out judgment and wrath, but first to reconcile to Himself all who would believe. He is God with Us who will never leave or forsake us. This is the significance of the birth of Christ. This is why the angels announced it to the shepherds and the star led the magi to Bethlehem. God, Himself was here, the silence was finally broken, and Salvation was coming!


So…Spread the Word!

The birth of Jesus is the moment in history when God stepped into His Creation not as Creator, but as one of us. And not as a ruler, politician, or military figure. But as a baby, the son of a carpenter, born in a place for animals with a feeding trough as a bed. From that humble beginning, He turned the world as we know it upside down. God is with us! God is with you right where you are now and Salvation and everything that it embodies is now at your disposal. 

I pray that this season when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ that it will also bring new life to you and your loved ones in Jesus name.

May 2019 when it arrives bring with it a new dimension of
change, victory and success!  



Prayer Points For the Christmas Season

  1. That Christ will reawaken our spirits and return in our thoughts and thinking and become the main focus of our lives. In the Name of Jesus we pray.
  2. That as Mary had her encounter with God, that we will also have an encounter that will change our lives and impregnate and impact us with new authority and power to live our lives for the better and good of others also.  In the Name of Jesus we pray.     
  3. That every distraction, disruption, disappointment and delay will fail in their assignments against our successful outcomes.  In the Name of Jesus Christ we pray.

WHY DO WE NEED TO PRAY?

For the month of  – November  I want to put the subject of prayer under the microscope and look at why you and I need to pray.

A Christian philosopher who was also a scientist - Blaise Pascal (1623-62) wrote, "The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing … " Over the next few months I am going to serialise why we need to pray.



God's Word Calls YOU and I to Pray!

The primary reason we need to pray is because God has commanded us to do so. If we are to be obedient to His will, then prayer must be part of our life when we are in relationship with Him. Where does the Bible call us to prayer? There are several passages that are relevant:

  • "Pray for those who persecute you" –Matthew 5:44 (NIV) [1] 
  • "And when you pray …" –Matthew 6:5 
  • "This, then, is how you should pray …" –Matthew 6:9 
  • "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." –Romans 12:12 
  • "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." –Ephesians 6:18 
  • "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." –Philippians 4:6 
  • "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful." –Colossians 4:2 
  • "Pray continually" -1 Thessalonians 5:17 
  • "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone …" -1 Timothy 2:1

Prayer is an act of obedience. God  has called you to pray and if you are intending to establish a working relationship with Him you need to respond by so doing. 



Scriptures are taken from the NIV (New International Version)

GOD'S HIGHEST LAW - APRIL 2018



STUDY TO SHEW THYSELF APPROVED (2 TIMOTHY 2:15)
God wants us to study His Word.  Many things of depth and value can be missed if we just read The Bible.  Do you know what  the most important commandment in the Bible is? (Matthew 22:36).  Jesus says, “Love the Lord with all your heart and love your neighbour as yourself.   On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 22:37-40).  
So The Word of God tells us that everything in the Bible is about loving God and loving our neighbours.  It is important that we not only read our Bibles but that we also understand what The Bible is trying to teach and tell us.   Jesus points out  that there is more to serving Him than just performing duties or rituals.  The whole Word of God is based on loving God and the love that God has for his children.  Love is the message that runs consistently throughout the Word of God,  love is the Law of God and one which every believer of Christ must endeavour to live and be ruled by.  God wants us to conduct our lives according to His higher "royal" standard of love.  
If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, 
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
James 2:8-12 (KJV)
Everything in the Bible hinges on loving God and loving our neighbours.   Some people interpret the Bible in different ways, picking and choosing particular passages—paying attention to the letter of the Bible but forgetting how the Lord said, “The two most important things for us to remember: 
1.  Love the Lord and 
2.  Love your neighbour.
Why not make Loving others your mission this month.  Do something to and for someone around you - display the love of Christ to a stranger.  

Prayer Points:
1.  Dear Father and Lord - teach me how to love you?
2.  Help me Lord to  make love my first response.
3.  Teach me Lord how to walk in love.

MARCH/APRIL 2018



Welcome to the Season of Passover/Easter

Passover is a week-long commemoration celebrated in the early spring from the 15th through the 22nd of the Hebrew month of Nissan. Passover commemorates the exodus of the Children of Israel from slavery in Egypt. 

The word Passover is taken from the Hebrew word Pesach which means "to pass over".   Passover happens in springtime and gives rise to a greater understanding of  new life, growth, stimulation, change.


What exactly is Passover?  

Passover is an annual Spiritual Window of freedom from spiritual oppression -  it is a time of realignment.  We first encounter the story of Passover in Exodus 12.  

The original Passover, found in the Bible, is a memorial to God passing over the houses of the children of Israel when  the firstborn of man and beast in Egypt were killed. This miraculous event and its meaning occurred during the night of the fourteenth of the Hebrew month Nisan. 

12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.

13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

For the New Testament Christian the Bible meaning of the Passover  revolves around the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.  It is a memorial of his death as the true Lamb of God. Believers partake of unleavened bread and wine (Communion) in remembrance of the sacrifice of Jesus' beaten body and shed blood. This sacrifice makes possible the forgiveness of our sins. By partaking of the Passover symbols of bread and wine, we are proclaiming and remembering our continual faith in Jesus' sacrifice.

"The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! THE LAMB OF GOD who takes away the sin of the world! " (John 1:29, see also 1Peter 1:18-19, 1Corinthians 11:23-26 and Matthew 26:19-20, 26-29)

Passover/Easter through the death and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ  celebrates and commemorates our deliverance from Spiritual death and all of the strongholds and curses of life. 


Today I pray: 

-  that you will come into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

-  that every "holding spirit" that has kept you in a state of bondage of any kind  
    will be demolished, devastated and destroyed  in Jesus Name.  

-  that you will passover from the slavery of your past to "newness of life" in 
   Jesus Name.


Wishing you all a very Happy Passover.

FEBRUARY 2018



Prayer Is God’s Commandment

“Pray without ceasing”
(1 Thessalonians 5:17)



Welcome to the month of February and I pray that 2018 is working well for you to this point.  Whether it is or not your need to pray is still paramount to your successful daily existence.

The above scripture calls us all to a place of continual prayer.  If we are to pray without ceasing, God must also  consider prayer to be a top priority for us at all times.  I believe this is so because:

1.      Prayer, the way God intends for us to pray, helps us to  focus on others and not just ourselves.  We see this demonstrated in The Lord’s Prayer - Luke 11:1.

2.   Involving others enables us to take our minds off ourselves and spend time thinking about others.

3.      Praying for others will help us to be less self-centred, selfish – more like Jesus!

4.         Prayer brings a greater sensitivity to the needs and issues of those around us.

5.      Prayer helps us to find the will of God for our lives.“If anyone would come after Me (Jesus), let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.” (Matthew 16:24)

6.        Taking up your cross means to literally put to death your sinful traits and the me, myself and I attitude.



Once you set time aside to pray and communicate with God, it is then that God hears you and shows you His will. Until you make prayer a priority daily you will stay on the same cyclical path and continue to go around in circles – walking to, but never reaching a successful destination.

Prayer is your given power to change EVERY area of your current circumstances. 

God bless you now and always,


Pastor Avis
