LET US WORSHIP OUR KING

 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Matthew 2:11 NKJV


This verse from the Gospel of Matthew highlights a profound moment in the Christmas story. The Magi, wise men from the East, travel a great distance following a star to worship the newborn King. Their actions symbolize the true purpose of Christmas: worshipping Christ, the Savior of the world, and honoring Him with our most valuable offerings.

Upon seeing Jesus, the Magi bowed down and worshipped Him. This act of humility reminds us that Christmas is about surrendering ourselves to Christ and acknowledging His Lordship. Worshiping the newborn King involves offering our hearts, lives, and devotion to Him.

Then, they presented gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh—symbolic offerings that represented Jesus’ royalty, divinity, and sacrificial role. Their giving was not out of obligation but an act of reverence and love. During Christmas, we are reminded to give not for self-gratification but as an act of worship to God, helping those in need and advancing His kingdom.

In today’s world, Christmas is often overshadowed by consumerism, parties, and temporary pleasures. However, the actions of the Magi point us back to the essence of the season: worship and adoration of Christ.

Paul warns in Colossians 3:2, "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Christmas is a call to fix our hearts on heavenly things, rejoicing in the birth of our Savior rather than indulging in fleeting pleasures.

Christmas is not just a holiday; it is a holy day—a time to bow in worship before the King of kings.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, Help me to Worship My King Jesus Christ in spirit and truth. Don’t let me be carried away by earthly pleasures.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
