‘This day is holy.’ Nehemiah 8:9

The word holiday comes from the Old English word haligdæg, which means ‘holy day’. So, when Nehemiah announced, ‘This day is holy,’ he was declaring a celebration; a time to ‘eat and drink before the Lord.’ (1 Chronicles 29:22 KJV)

Today, overindulgence and overspending have become synonymous with Christmas, making Christians hesitant to celebrate. Jack Hayford writes: ‘Often it is from those newly associated with our fellowship who have allowed themselves—perhaps for the first time—to enter into the wonder and fullness of Christmas joy and celebration… Christmas is more than merely “merry”. Christmas is mighty. Celebration—unfettered enjoyment, love… laughter… gifts and giving, trees and tinsel… carols and bells… all of it—has an inherent potential for mightiness. The qualifying factor is the presence of the Holy Spirit. When He is present, the accoutrements of Christmas… can bless, strengthen, heal, [and] restore… When He is absent, carols ring hollow. Greetings, wishes and smiles lie on the surface, like glitter glued on a flat card. Lights and decorations… can leave the heart more desolate than ever. But where the Holy Spirit is there is power… to change entrenched habits… transform cold hearts… grudges and expectations… lift lives out of the shadow… This Christmas, let Him come upon you. Welcome the… Holy Spirit… to move upon your life, and then make your own move… into the season’s best opportunities to bask in the wonder of it all… Reach out to those around: encourage, bless, bake, give, visit, invite, share, and lift hearts wherever you can. By… New Year… you’ll find Christmas to… have been marvellously, and even miraculously, mighty.’

Sat, 25 Dec 2021

‘I am like an evergreen tree, yielding My fruit to you throughout the year.’ Hosea 14:8

The word ‘celebrate’ means to rejoice, delight in, revel, and appreciate.

Jack Hayford writes: ‘There is so much done in the name of Christmas that is neither pleasing nor honouring to Christ. Even so, I find myself doing battle… with… religious superstitions which argue against almost every observation of Christmas… against giving… against decorations, trees, or just plain fun, as though such participation defiled something holy. Such harsh debunking is nothing more than “holy humbug”. A Christmas tree… is a specific statement… By means of this tree we are saying: We believe in celebration. We serve the God who “gives us richly all things to enjoy” (1 Timothy 6:17 NKJV) and who through history assigned… sacred appointments of feasting and rejoicing… “great gladness” (1 Chronicles 29:22 KJV)… Although no one can make a “Biblical case” for Christmas trees, we gather around ours with joy. We see in its living branches a symbol of everlasting life given us because of Jesus’ death on the tree—whose naked crossbars Xed out death and ushered in forgiveness… and eternal hope. The lights… gleam a testimony of His Light-of-the-world glory. The ornaments reflect the decorative splendour with which His kindnesses adorn our lives. The star beams hope, with a heavenward ray, reminding us that from there He shall come again to receive us.’

As you gather together this Christmas, don’t forget to celebrate the One who said, ‘I am the Light of the World. Whoever follows Me… will have the light of life.’ (John 8:12 NIV)

‘I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.’ Luke 2:10

For many people Christmas is filled with dread instead of delight.

Author Jon Walker writes this: ‘I’m sitting in a fast-food restaurant observing a young girl celebrating an early Christmas with her mother. Her presents are spread out across the booth and she just said, “I miss you, Mommy.” “I miss you too, Baby,” her mother says. Beyond the booth… a woman casually, but carefully watches them. Using my journalist’s eye, I put it all together. The watching woman is a social worker supervising a structured visit for a mother and child who are doing their best to celebrate Christmas… a few minutes later foster parents arrive and take the little girl home. The mother leaves alone. There’s a darker side to Christmas we rarely acknowledge. We create this fantasy that seldom matches reality… many Christmas memories are full of tension, not tinsel… the holidays are just another excuse for Mommy to get drunk, or Daddy to be with his new family… yet another reminder that the one we love is far away or perhaps never coming back… The suicide rate is extraordinarily high… depression as common as “Joy to the World”… more people hurt at Christmas than we initially imagine. For those tired of the hollow hope… the good news is God is with us. Jesus came to earth to “bring… good news… for all the people.” Regardless of your situation, Christmas is the best gift you’ll ever get, because:

(1) it’s the costliest you’ll ever receive because it cost Jesus His life;

(2) it’s the only gift that lasts forever;

(3) it’s one you can enjoy for the rest of your life.’

Handling Your Money Wisely (3)

Thu, 23 Dec 2021

‘He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house.’ Proverbs 15:27

J. Paul Getty’s estate exceeded four billion dollars. He was considered the richest man on earth at the time. The Los Angeles Times quoted something Getty wrote: ‘I have never been given to envy, save for the envy I feel toward those people who have the ability to make a marriage work and endure happily. It’s an art I have never been able to master. My record: five marriages, five divorces. In short, five failures.’

The newspaper article continues: ‘He termed the memories of his relationship with his five sons “painful”. Much of his pain has been passed on with his money. His most treasured offspring, Timothy, a frail child born when Getty was fifty-three, died in 1958 at the age of twelve, of surgical complications after a sickly life, spent mostly separated from his father who was forever away on business. Other members of the Getty family also suffered from tragic circumstances. A grandson, J. Paul Getty III, was kidnapped and held for a ransom of $2.9 million. When Getty refused to pay, they held the boy for five months and eventually cut off his right ear. Getty’s oldest son apparently committed suicide amid strange circumstances. Another son, Gordon Paul Getty, has been described as living a tortured existence. He was ridiculed in correspondence by his father and was the least favoured son. Similar sorrow has followed other members of this unfortunate family.’

Putting money first and family second make you nothing more than a wealthy failure. So if you have been sacrificing your family for your career, start making changes! Don’t look back, rich but regretting, having lived for the wrong things.

‘Remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth.’ Deuteronomy 8:18

Next to teaching your children how to walk with God, you will never teach them a more important life lesson than how to handle their money wisely. Dr James Merritt writes: ‘We began teaching our kids early these principles of industry, honesty, and responsibility. Here are a few methods we used, which I recommend to you.

(1) Give your kids some jobs early on without pay, such as making up their beds, picking up their toys, and cleaning their rooms. Inspect their room each time, encouraging them as much as possible, but also letting them know the standard of quality that’s expected (no sloppy bed, toys left on the floor, etc.). This will begin to teach them the value of work, the fulfilment of doing a job well, and the discipline of following the commands of someone in authority.

(2) As your kids get older, choose some jobs they’re capable of doing (polishing shoes, washing the car, vacuuming the floor, etc.) and settle on fair compensation. This will begin to instruct them in the value of money and reinforce the rewards of a job well done. Again, have an understood standard of quality that’s expected, and don’t pay them until the job’s completed properly.

(3) Don’t give allowances or teach your children to expect them. Rather, teach them that money is earned through working for it. There’s nothing wrong with giving your child money out of love or as a reward (such as for good grades), but kids must learn the relationship between honest labour and just compensation.’

Bottom line: those are three principles that will stand them in good stead throughout their entire lifetime.

‘The blessing of the Lord makes one rich.’ Proverbs 10:22

There are about five hundred Bible verses on prayer, and more than two thousand on handling money and possessions. It’s a make-or-break issue! It’s no surprise that money-related issues are often cited as a reason for divorce. And there’s good reason for this: money and stress often go hand in hand. The Bible says, ‘The blessing of the Lord makes one rich.’ Not only does God expect us to make money, but when we honour Him, He will help us to make more. But there is a right and a wrong way to do it.

The Bible teaches that money should come by hard work. ‘He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.’ (Proverbs 10:4 NKJV)

‘Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished, but he who gathers by labour will increase.’ (Proverbs 13:11 NKJV)

God expects those who ‘labour’ to give a good day’s work, just as He expects those in management to pay a good day’s wage. Both labour and management are to make money. Labour helps management make a profit, while management helps labour make a salary. A profit well-earned and a salary honestly made are both pleasing to the Lord. But your money must also be made by honest work. ‘He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches… will surely come to poverty.’ (Proverbs 22:16 NKJV)

That’s a warning to those who rip people off by charging extortionate interest rates. God is against any form of fraud or manipulation. ‘False weights and unequal measures—the Lord detests double standards of every kind.’ (Proverbs 20:10 NLT) God makes it plain: winners never cheat, and He will make sure cheaters never win!

Pray For Discernment (3)

Mon, 20 Dec 2021

‘Those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.’ Hebrews 5:14

In the 1940s, Switzerland manufactured 80 per cent of the world’s watches. Then in the 1960s, when an inventor presented a concept for a new type of watch to the leaders of a Swiss company, they rejected it. All the other Swiss companies he approached did the same. They lived by the philosophy, ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!’ Believing that his design had merit, the inventor took it to a company in Japan. The name of the company was Seiko, the design of the watch was digital, and guess what? Sales of digital watches soon outstripped the traditional analogue watches. One discernment-driven decision can change the course of your entire life and bless others.

John Maxwell says, ‘Smart leaders believe only half of what they hear. Discerning leaders know which half to believe.’ Here are two things you need to know about God-given discernment:

(1) It’s shaped by Scripture. ‘For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word… But solid food belongs to those who are of full age [spiritually mature], that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.’ (Hebrews 4:13–14 NKJV)

(2) It’s sharpened by use. The more you use it, the more seasoned you become. Will you sometimes make mistakes when it comes to exercising discernment? Yes, but like any muscle, the more you flex it, the stronger it grows. And here is an additional thought: the Bible refers to ‘discerning of spirits’, or attitudes and motivations (see 1 Corinthians 12:10). What a great advantage to have in life!

‘Give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong.’ 1 Kings 3:9

‘The Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream… and… said, “Ask! What shall I give you?”’ (1 Kings 3:5 NKJV) Solomon said, ‘Give to Your servant an understanding heart to... discern between good and evil.’ (1 Kings 3:9 NKJV) Next, we read, ‘The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.’ (1 Kings 3:10 NKJV) But God wasn’t through talking to Solomon: ‘I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honour, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.’ (1 Kings 3:13 NKJV)

Discernment made Solomon one of the greatest kings ever. You have probably heard the saying ‘Go with your gut!’ Management consultant Robert Heller adds this advice: ‘Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it’s enough.’ Discernment doesn’t rely on intuition alone, nor does it rely solely on intellect or experience.

The writer of Proverbs says, ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.’ (Proverbs 3:5–6 NKJV) There are two kinds of discernment: natural discernment and spiritual discernment. One can fail you—the other won’t. When natural discernment can’t take you a step further, spiritual discernment enables you to keep going with faith and confidence. How will you recognise the difference? James tells us, ‘The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.’ (James 3:17 NKJV) Can you imagine such a life? The good news is—you can have it!

‘All these men understood the signs of the times and knew the best course.’ 1 Chronicles 12:32

Who said, ‘I tell you Wellington is a bad general, the English are bad soldiers; we will settle the matter by lunchtime’? Napoleon Bonaparte over breakfast with his generals just before the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.

Who rejected an offer from Alexander Graham Bell to purchase the patents for the first telephone? William Orton, president of Western Union.

Who said, ‘I think there is a world market for about five computers’? Thomas Watson, president of IBM.

What did all these men have in common? Lack of discernment—and it cost them dearly. When it comes to seeing life’s opportunities and solving life’s problems, you need discernment. It enables you to see what others don’t, fill in the missing pieces, and get to the heart of the matter. If you can see the root cause of a problem, you have a much better chance of solving it. That means when you stay in the area of your core gift, your discernment will be stronger. So if you want to tap into your discernment potential, work from the areas of your strength.

But do more. Pray for discernment. It’s one of the nine ‘gifts of the Spirit’ promised to us in Scripture (see 1 Corinthians 12:7–10). Some of Israel’s greatest victories were won when David was king. And when we study the makeup of his army, we read, ‘The tribe of Issachar… understood the signs of the times and knew the best course for Israel to take.’ Discernment enables you to see doors of opportunity where others see only brick walls. It will save you from life’s pitfalls and show you what course is best to take—so pray for discernment.

You Can Get Back What You Have Lost!

Fri, 17 Dec 2021

‘Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.’ 1 Samuel 30:8

While David and his men were off fighting, the Amalekites destroyed their homes and took their families captive. First, David’s army wept. Second, they looked to David for guidance. Third, David sought God, saying, ‘“Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?” And He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.”’ Notice four important points:

(1) Satan will attack your loved ones to get to you. It may be big stuff like your husband losing his job or your wife discovering a lump in her breast, or little stuff like low-grade family tension and lack of consideration for each other. You need to stay alert and discern Satan’s attacks so you can defend yourself against them.

(2) Love people but lean only on God. The people David fought side by side with one day turned against him the next day. That’s why your strength, strategies, and solutions for living must come from God, not others.

(3) Talk to yourself in the right way. ‘David encouraged himself in the Lord.’ (1 Samuel 30:6 KJV) If you want to end up discouraged, talk about your situation. If you want to be encouraged, talk to the One who can change your situation—the Lord. The Bible says, ‘A wholesome [uplifting, positive, inspiring] tongue is a tree of life.’ (Proverbs 15:4 NKJV) So learn to talk to yourself in the right way.

(4) You can get back what you have lost. God told David, ‘Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.’ And what God did for David and his men that day, He will do for you if you seek Him.
