THE SIGNIFICANCE OF CHRISTMAS

CHRISTMAS is the annual christian festival that is celebrated on 25th December in honor of the birth of Jesus Christ as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world or the period of time that comes before and after this holiday.

It is not a time of sorrow, pains and heartache because of lack of money, food and new clothings

The Significance of Christmas shows the importance of this festival especially when it has effect in what happens in the future that is the essence of our faith.

1.It is a period of great joy where we go the Lord in obedience, praise and thanksgiving for all His Mercy and Stedfastness over our lives as an individual, family, and a Nation.

2.It is a period of rededication and recommitment of our lives to the God that spared our lives with his tender mercies and loving kindness throughout the beginning of the year to the end.

3.It is a season to worship God and encourage others to desire to worship him

4.Christmas is a Story of what a Begotten Son did to the Father. It is the story of one of God's becoming a human being in the person of Jesus Christ. 

5. Christmas invites us to reflect on the most important things in our life that is our faith, our family, and our freedom because our faith gives us hope, our family gives us love and our freedom gives us the opportunity to practice our faith and love each other - and of course the Holy family.

6.Christmas  showcases Jesus Christ as a SAVOUR, DELIVERER and a PRESERVER unto mankind 

    WHY DID GOD BECOME A HUMAN BEING IN THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST

1.Because He loves us. Do you know that love is the true meaning of Christmas. God loves us and provided a way, the only way of salvation from sin for humanity.

John 3:16 is a scripture that is well known and said among many that " For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have  everlasting life".

The song writer Sang a song with a lyrics that 

God's love is higher than the highest mountain

God's love is deeper than the deepest sea 

God's love is wider than the widest Ocean

God's love is stronger even than death.

    ONLY ONE WAY OF SALVATION AND ONE MAN

Mathew 1:21-23 "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his Poeple from their sins.

Vs 22 " Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which spoken by the prophet of the Lord by the saying,

vs 23 " Behold a virgin shall be with child, and shall call his name Emmanuel which being interpreted is , God With Us.

 

SALVATION came not by our own merit but by JESUS CHRIST 

Acts 4:12 "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved".

SALVATION is both a present and a future matter to us for our life here on earth and our eternity with the Lord. 

     STEPS TO SALVATION

1. ADMIT THAT WE ARE SINNERS. ( Romans 3:23; 6:23) "For all (humans) have sinned, and come short of the glory of God....(and) the wages of sin is death; but the gifts of God is eternal life through  Jesus Christ  our Lord.

2. REPENT NOW. (Acts 3:19; 1John 1:9) "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that our sins may be blotted out....(for) if we confess our sins , he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us,from all unrighteousness".

3.BELIEVE THAT GOD LOVES US AND JESUS DIED FOR YOU. (Romans 5:8) But God commended his love towards us, in that while we yet sinners, Christ died for us."

4.INVITE JESUS INTO OUR LIFE THROUHG THE PRAYER OF FAITH. JESUS SAYS, (Revelation 3:20 ) Behold, l stand at the door, and knock: If any man hears my voice, and open the door, l will come in to him, and he with me"

WHAT WE DO IN LIFE ECHOES IN ETERNITY, FOR WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE SHALL GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD , AND LOSE HIS OWN SOUL? OR WHAT SHALL A MAN GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR SOUL. (Mark 8:36)

BEWARE POLITICS OF IDOLATARY

     My gracious Redeemer, my Saviour art Thou;
     If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus 'this now.

2. I loved Thee because Thou hast first loved me,
     And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree;
     I loved Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
     If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus 'this now.

3.  I'll love Thee in life, l'll love Thee in death,
      And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;
      And say when the death -dew lies cold on my brow;
      If ever l loved Thee, my Jesus 'tis  now.

4.  In mansions of glory and endless delight,
      I'll ever adore Thee in Heaven so bright;
      I'll sing with the glittering crown in my brow;
      If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus 'this now.

KNOW OF A SURETY THAT THERE WILL BE SCARCITY .

THE LORD SAID "KNOW OF A SURETY THAT THERE WILL BE SCARCITY, BUT YOUR CRUSE OF OIL SHALL NOT FAIL IN JULY 2013."

WHAT IS SCARCITY?

THE WORD SCARCITY MEANS A VERY SMALL SUPPLY : THE STATE OF BEING SCARCE.

IN ECONOMICS SCARCITY IS USED TO DESCRIBE THE LACK OF VARIOUS FORMS OF CAPITAL.

IT IS A RESULT OF POEPLE HAVING "UNLIMITED WANTS AND NEEDS" OR ALWAYS WANTING NEW AND HAVING LIMITED RESOURCES.

LIMITED RESOURCES MEANS THAT THERE ARE NEVER ENOUGH RESOURCES, OR MATERIALS TO SATISFY OR FULFILL THE WANTS AND NEEDS THAT EVERY PERSON HAVE. AND IS A BASIC ECONOMIC PROBLEM MEANING THAT IT ALWAYS EXIST.

SCARCITY MEANS THAT POEPLE WANT MORE THAN IS AVAILABLE. IT LIMITS US BOTH AS INDIVIDUALS AND AS A SOCIETY. 

AS AN INDIVIDUALS, LIMITED INCOME, TIME AND ABILITY STOPS US FROM DOING AND HAVING ALL THAT WE MIGHT LIKE. 

AS A SOCIETY , LIMITED INCOME, LIMITED RESOURCES SUCH AS MANPOWER,MACHINERY AND NATURAL RESOURCES FIX A MAXIMUM ON THE AMOUNT OF GOODS AND SERVICES THAT CAN BE PRODUCED.

ANOTHER WORD FOR SCARCITY IS FAMINE, INSUFFICIENCY, INADEQUACY, DEFICIENCY AND SHORTAGE.

THE OPPOSITE OF SCARCITY IS EXCESS, ABUNDANCE, SUFFICIENCY, PLENTY, WEALTH.

SCARCITY EXIST DUE TO THE EFFECT OF NATURE SUCH AS DROUGHT, FLOOD S STORMS, PEST INFESTATION, FIRE AND OTHER THINGS.

REAL SCARCITY CAN ALSO EXIST AS A RESULT OF THE OVER USE OF NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES.GOODS AND SERVICES ARE AISO SCARCE BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER OF THINGS IN THE WORLD AND DUE TO THE LIMITS OF TECHNOLOGY AND OUR OWN PRIORITIES.

SCARCITY REQUIRES CHOICE. THIS MEANS THAT POEPLE MUST CHOSE WHICH OF THEIR DESIRES THEY WILL SATISFY AND WHICH THEY WILL LEAVE UNSATISFIED. WHEN WE EITHER AS INDIVIDUALS OR AS A SOCIETY, CHOOSE MORE OF SOMETHING, SCARCITY FORCES US TO TAKE LESS OF SOMETHING ELSE.

ECONOMICS IS SOMETIMES CALLED THE STUDY OF SCARCTY BECAUSE ECONOMICS ACTIVITY WOULD NOT EXIST IF SCARCITY DID NOT FORCE POEPLE TO MAKE CHOICES.

DO YOU KNOW THAT WHEN THERE IS SCARCITY AND CHOICE, THERE ARE COST. THE COST OF ANY CHOICE IS THE OPTION OR OPTIONS THAT A PERSON GIVES UP.

THE CAUSE OF SCARCITY IN AKWA IBOM STATE WILL BE DUE TO THE MOVEMENT OF EXCESS OIL TO CROSS RIVER STATE WHICH MOST POEPLE ARE NOT PREPARED FOR. 

THIS SCARCITY WILL BE A NATURALLY OCCURING LIMITATION ON THE RESOURCE THAT CANNOT BE REPLENISED.

                              HOW DO WE PREPARE FOR SCARCITY

THE LORD SAID KNOW OF A SURETY THAT THEY WILL BE SCARCITY BUT YOUR CRUSE OF OIL SHALL NOT FAIL. (JULY 2013).

THIS WAS SIX MONTH AFTER THE LORD SAID KNOW OF A SURETY THAT IN TEN YEARS TIME, EXCESS OIL WILL LEAVE AKWA IBOM TO CROSS RIVER STATE. AKWA IBOM STATE WHERE IS YOUR STORAGE? (JANUARY 2013).

BELIEVE A WASTE NOT MENTALITY (THAT IS WE NEED TO FIND WAYS TO REDUCE/AVOID UNNECESSARY WASTE).

A MENTALITY OF SAVING (THE ACTS OR AN INSTANCE OF ECONOMIZING) SHOULD BE THE NORM.

LET US NOT THINK THAT PROSPERITY WOULD INCREASE FOREVER.LET US REMEMBER HOW IT USED TO BE WITH US BEFORE EXCESS OIL CAME.

DO YOU KNOW THERE ARE SO MANY WASTEFUL ACTIVITIES GOING ON IN OUR SOCIETY AS A RESULT OF EXCESS OIL? 

1.POLITICAL OFFICE HAS BECOME A GLOBAL MARKET JUST LIKE LABOR MARKET. IT IS A DO OR DIE AFFAIR FOR SO MANY THAT DO NOT EVEN HAVE VISIONS FOR THE STATE NOR THE POEPLE.

2.FORWARD LOOKING AND RISK-AVERSE FUND MANAGERS HAVE BEEN ACCUMULATING FUNDS, COMMODITIES AND FARMLANDS SINCE THE ADVENT OF EXCESS OIL IN THE STATE FORECASTING A FUTURE OF INTENSE COMPETITIONS FOR THE ESSENTIALS OF LIFE TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE POOR MASSES.

                                       QUESTIONS

CAN YOU NAME SOME OF THE WASTEFUL ACTIVITIES IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY BECAUSE OF EXCESS OIL?

2.ASK YOURSELF AM I CONTRIBUTING TO IT?

 THE LORD SAID KNOW OF A SURETY THAT THEY WILL BE SCARCITY BUT YOUR CRUSE OF OIL SHALL NOT FAIL. (JULY 2013). KNOW THAT SCARCITY WILL EVER REAR ITS UGLY HEAD AGAIN.

                               WHAT IS OUR CRUSE OF OIL

SCARCITY WILL TEST HUMAN RESOURCEFULNESS AS NEVER BEFORE .

I WILL COMPLETE THIS WRITE UP IN PART 2. HAPPY READING.

THE LORD BLESS AND KEEP YOU. AMEN

EXCESS OIL IS LEAVING AKWA IBOM STATE IN 2023

THE LORD SAID KNOW OF A SURETY THAT IN TEN (10) YEARS TIME FROM JANUARY 2013 EXCESS OIL IS LEAVING AKWA IBOM STATE TO CROSS RIVER STATE.

THE LORD SAID EXCESS OIL CAME FROM OTHER STATES TO AKWA IBOM STATE .IT DID NOT BEGIN HERE SO IT WILL NOT STOP HERE.

IT BEGAN IN BAYELSA STATE, RIVER STATE AND DELTA STATE BEFORE AKWA IBOM STATE.

THAT OIL IS ON THE SURFACE OF THE WATER, AS THE SUN HEATS IT AND THE RAIN FALLS ON IT, THAT IT IS MOVING.

THE LORD ASKED A QUESTION

1.WHERE IS YOUR STORAGE ?

WHAT IS STORAGE?

IT IS THE ACTION OR METHOD OF STORING SOMETHING FOR FUTURE USE.

AKWA IBOM STATE WHERE IS YOUR 

1. SILOS FOR FOOD STORAGE ?

2. CASH OR FINANCIAL RESERVES ?

3. OIL RESERVES ?

THE LORD SAID AKWA IBOM STATE THIS IS YOUR SEASON OF EXCESSES AND 2015- 2023 IS YOUR SEASON OF STORAGE .

THE LORD SAID THAT IF MOST POLITICIANS WERE TO EMPOWER POEPLE, THE NUMBER OF GRADUATES LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT IN THE CIVIL SERVICE WOULD HAVE REDUCED.

EXCESSES CAME THAT IT MIGHT BE WELL WITH THE POEPLE.

CAN YOU COMPARE THE NUMBER OF BEGGARS AND NON BEGGARS WHICH ONE IS HIGHER.

 THE LORD SAID PEACE, PEACE AND PEACE, UNITY UNITY AND UNITY AMONG THE THREE SENATORIAL DISTRICTS IS VERY VERY ESSENTIAL IN 2015 -2023. 

THIS WILL CREATE AN ENABLING ENVIRONMENT FOR CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT AND STORAGE.

      THE LORD SAID GO AND SETTLE WITH THE ORON, DO NOT SAY THAT 

1.THEY ARE MINORITY.

2. THERE IS NO CREDIBLE PERSON IN ORON.

THE LORD SAID THAT CREDIBILITY IS OF THE LORD, THAT NO ONE KNOWS TOMORROW,THAT ONLY HIM KNOWS TOMORROW.

THAT MAN LOOKETH AT THE OUTWARD WHILE GOD LOOKETH AT THE INWARD.HE KNOWS THE FUTURE.

THAT IF THERE IS NO PEACE WITH THE ORON, OIL EXPLORATION WILL BE AFFECTED GREATLY.

CAN YOU REMEMBER THE ISSUES OF NIGER DELTA REGIONS WITH THE MILITANTS.

THANK GOD FOR OUR DEAR PRESIDENT UMARU MUSA YAR'BADUA OF BLESSED MEMORY

I HAVE TALK TO DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF POEPLE ABOUT THIS ISSUES. MOST POEPLE SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT POLITICIANS.WELL, BE IT KNOWN TO YOU THAT THIS WORD IS NOT ONLY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF AKWA IBOM STATE ALONE, BUT TO EVERYONE WHETHER SMALL OR BIG, RICH OR POOR, POLITICIANS AND NON POLITICIANS, PASTORS, MEMBERS AND CHILDREN.

 MOST PEOPLE ASKED ME,

1. HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT OUR OIL IS LEAVING TO ANOTHER STATE WHEN IT IS OUR PROPERTY, IT BELONGS TO US ?

OUR OIL IS UNDER THE GROUND IN OUR STATE, IT CANNOT BE TAKEN AWAY FROM US.

2.IS IT BECAUSE YOU ARE FROM CROSS RIVER STATE AND YOUR HUSBAND IS FROM AKWA IBOM STATE THAT IS WHY YOU ARE PROPHESYING IN FAVOR OF CROSS RIVER STATE, SO YOU DO NOT LOVE AKWA IBOM STATE.

I DO NOT HAVE AN ANSWER TO ANY QUESTION, I ONLY SAY WHAT I HEARED.

THE LORD SAID OIL IS ON THE SURFACE OF THE WATER, ASTHE SUN HEATS IT, AND AS THE RAIN FALLS ON IT, THAT IT MOVING.

THE LORD IT SHALL BE SAID OF THE NORTHERN STATES IN THE NEXT TWENTY (20)YEARS ALSO THAT THEY ARE OIL STATE.

THE LORD SAID I AM A GOOD GOD.HE SAID STAY IN YOUR PLACE, DO NOT ENVY ANY STATE FOR IT IS TURN BY TURN.

THE LORD SAID PUBLISHED THE WORD, IF ANYTHING HAPPEN TO THEM, I WILL PUNISH YOU

IF YOU DO NOT PUBLISH IT. SO I AM DOING MY PART.

IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU SHOULD TELL THE GOVERNOR OKPO FROM ORON, THE DEPUTY GOVERNOR NSENTIP AKPABIO FROM  ESSIEN UDIM AND THE S.S.G ROYALTY ENOBONG UWAH FROM UYO FROM 2015- 2023,

TELL THEM 

 THE LORD SAID IN JANUARY 2013, "KNOW OF A SURETY THAT EXCESS OIL IS LEAVIING AKWA IBOM STATE TO CROSS RIVER STATE IN TEN YEARS TIME  2023 BEFORE 29TH MAY 2023

AKWA IBOM STATE WHERE IS YOUR STORAGE?

THE LORD SAID THESE ARE THE THREE WISEMEN THAT HE HAS CHOSEN FOR 

1.THE ONWARD MOVEMENT OF THE STATE FROM 2015 -2023. 

2.FOR YOUR PEACE AND UNITY.

N/B NO PEACE NO DEVELOPMENT, NO UNITY NO STORAGE.

3.FOR YOUR PRESERVATION AND DELIVERANCE FROM VIOLENCE, WAR, SCARCITY, FAMINE AND LACK

      THE LORD SAID DO NOT KILL YOURSELF OVER A CANDIDATE I HAVE NOT APPROVED SO THAT YOU WILL NOT REGRET, SUFFER, CRY AND WAIL FINALLY COLLAPSE (TO BREAK APART AND FALL DOWN SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY) WITHOUT REMEDY.

 

THE LORD SAID TELL THEM SO THAT THEY WILL NOT SAY

1 THERE WAS NO GOD IN THE LAND

2.THERE WAS NO CHURCH IN THE LAND

3.THERE WERE NO PASTORS IN THE LAND.

 THE LORD SAID THE ERA OF IDOLATRY IS OVER, I HAVE TAKEN OVER THE LAND.

  GOD BLESS YOU  REAL GOOD.
