I recently observed It so obvious that 70% of the whole world are celebrating what we called "CHRISTMAS" of which we know it's a day set aside to celebrate the death and ressurection of our Lord Jesus Christ. But to look at it deeply, are many in christ, as the of 2 cor. 5:17 says "if any man is in christ is a new man, old things will pass away all things will become new" are we a friend of Jesus Christ or is it that we just want to eat the rice and chicken of His birthday.
Taking a clear example, we don't go to the birthday of a someone we don't know except we are invited by your friend who is an intimate friend to the celebrant, but I trust me, you are only going there to eat rice and chicken. It is only the friends of the celebrant that will be given gifts. That is how it is to Jesus, there are some that are celebrating the birthday of Jesus Christ by just eating rice and chicken alone and some will eat and be given gift, who are those that will be given gift, they are only the friend of Jesus Christ (Proverb 14:28).
Do not think he is giving you the wordly gift, he his going to give you a devine gift from heaven, a gift someone had never received, a gift that will surprsie the whole world (John 15:13-20) Why don't you join the friends of Jesus today so that you can benefit from him on friday. The bible say man shall not be by bread alone but by the word that comes out of the mouth of God, so this means don't be an eater of rice and chicken, partner and invesst with Jesus today and you will see a turn around in your life.
He still need more friends and that friend is you, he is waiting for you to surrender yourself so that you can be counted. Are you ready to be his friend?

Pls come again, i don't understand you.

I dont have any problem with the post. It was just a correction/observation. When posting ,its
important to give correct representation cos you dont know who is learning. As a christian,i thought i was aiding a brother. Guess it's wrong to make correction on Nairaland.hmmmm .pastor

No offence, u are permitted to correct or criticise a bro in love bt when in correction or criticism d attention is taken away from the import of the msg, then its wrong.

U never said anything about d whole msg, which if u have said something then bring his attention to the error it will do well.

It is well my sister, continue in grace.

Stay blessed and remain rapturable

There is a difference btw correction and criticism. What is wrong if i tell you that you made an error. I have been corrected several times but i dnt take it the wrong way. Weather or not the person contributed to the topic or not. I thank the person and to me a correction is a contribution. Cos God knows how many would have been misinformed by just an error that the writer probably made. I think nairalanders are use to argueing so much that they no longer know the difference btw criticism and correction. Unless, ofcourse, he feel shis article is correct. Then i would appologise to the writer. But he hasn't. Peace

Misinformed? So all the op put there was an error or just Christmas being the celebration of the birth of Jesus alone?

No one is misinformed cos everyone is aware of the fact, and all the remaining part is a blessing to people with open mind. Anyways my point is not to divert others attention from the import of the message, because to simply put, no one is supposed to celebrate Christmas if there aren't saved because the essence of Christ coming will be defeated.

Stay blessed
