2024/2025 OPERATION 18-18 – (MANIFESTATION OF THE SON OF GOD 1B)

A Message delivered on 25^th of December

It is good to take stock. At the time that the year expires is a time to look inwards. It is a strategic time, take stock and remind ourselves that we are not getting younger. There will not be another Wednesday 25^th December 2024, the next Wednesday will be year 2025 and every passing moment is bringing us closer and closer to eternity. It is necessary for us to ask ourselves some basic questions:

• Where are we in the scheme of things?
• Are we happy?
• Are we living for him?
• Does he know us?
• Do we really know him?
• What God purpose are we fulfilling in our generation?

God sent his Son for a purpose. God is very purposeful, he never wastes anything. Everything he does is for a purpose. He sent his Son for a purpose; that purpose was spelt out very clearly while God was judging the snake in the Garden of Eden in Gen. 3:15, the first messianic prophecy. That was why God sent his Son to pay the penalty for our sins on the cross; to carry our sins. God sowed his Son as a seed. God is the greatest giver and he gave out of love (John 3:16).

Any giving from the Church that does not proceed out of love is nothing but hay, wood, stubble. Any service in the Church that is not born out of love – vertical and horizontal love is hay, wood, stubble. It will be burnt. May God help us not to waste our efforts in Jesus name. Most of the things that are done today in the house of God amount to hay, wood, stubble. They are born out of other things.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16, KJV

We need to celebrate the love of God that brought this wonderful package; think about it, if God had decided to exterminate the adamic stock, that would have been justified; he is sovereign over all so you cannot question him. He could have recreated another world out of nothing but instead he decided otherwise. God has given but is man ready to receive? A lot of people are struggling with belief.

One thing I have come to realize is that whenever you throw anything at people, they tend to devalue it. The spirit of devaluation is a very wicked spirit; it is the spirit of demotion and from the pit of hell. Whatever God is involved in is enhanced that is why when you give to God, you don’t lose. Whatever you give to God is a seed that produces after its kind and as the Bible makes it clear in Gen. 8:22,

“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”

Genesis 8:22, KJV

God is so faithful that if you walk with him, you will fall in love with him and you will revere him, celebrate his wisdom and faithfulness. It is by his grace that we are who we are. He took that decision out of love, he had other options but he chose the path of love. The path of the love is always the winner any day. Celebrate the love of God; he chose the path of mercy.

The mercy side of God overlooked our mess; all the mess in our lives, he chose to overlook. But the truth side of God must judge sin. Sin is a very delicate and intricate issue. But God dug into his wisdom repertoire and brought this wonderful miracle on how to deal with the situation. Celebrate him. Magnify his holy name. Thank him for his mercy. Worship him. He is worthy to be magnified, worthy to be adored.

PRAY –

• Father, thank you so much that you did not exterminate the adamic stock, blessed be your name. Only you are worthy to be praised and hallowed, in Jesus name.
• The name of the Lord will be hallowed in every facet of your life. You will not miss it in the name of Jesus.
