As we are entering into the season of Christmas 2012 let us meditate some of the prophecies concerning the Birth and life of Jesus from the Bible.

God Provided Israelites with Manna to satisfy their Hunger. All the people have amazed to see the food which came from the above. Manna satisfied the hunger of people. Jesus is the living bread who satisfies the hunger of spiritual life.

What is Manna?

Manna (Hebrew: מָ‏ן) or al-Mann we al-Salwa (Arabic: المَنّ و السلوى‎, Kurdish: gezo, Persian: گزانگبین‎), sometimes or archaically spelled mana, is an edible substance that, according to Abrahamic doctrine, God provided for the Israelites during their travels in the desert according to the Bible and the Qur'an.

THE TEMPTATION !

Devil in the form of snake in Eden

THE SEED- PART 2

We are having war with powers and principalities, the devil knew what he was doing, he had a plan how to destroy the humanity, he came up once and also planted something in Adam which live in work and progress[more powerful than a nuclear Bomb] without his intruding. It’s neither God tempts us.

A CHRISTMAS GIFT & NEW YEAR 2012 BLESSINGS!

Mary was highly favored of God

You might have surprised by reading the title can I have any Christmas gift from God. Yes God have a lot of gifts with Him and wish to give it to those who fear Him before men. The Bible says:  

"In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored.Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God.You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end"-(Luke 1:26-38).

AND GOD CALLED THE LIGHT (CHRISTMAS) DAY!

Jesus is the light of the day for world

KING of Jeshurun Devotions on Gen 1:5 (KJV)

“And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”

After restoring earth from chaos, God told that there be light and there was light and God separated the light from darkness.

Here we see God started naming light as day and darkness as night.

Throughout the Bible we see God  called light as day. We see whole world today is under the night of Satan’s darkness. God sent Jesus Christ His son to this world as a light of the world so is the beginning of the day to the world since God’s creation.

CHRISTMAS -AND GOD SEPERATED THE LIGHT FROM DARKNESS!

King of Jeshurun Devotions on Gen 1:4

Christmas is separation of light from darkness.

"And God separated the light from the darkness"

"vai·yav·del e·lo·him, bein ha·'o·vr u·vein ha·cho·shech" -(Hebrew OT: Westminster Leningrad Codex Transliterated).

God saw the light was good and not the darkness.Darkness  was not good and God separated the light from darkness.

When man believes in LORD Jesus Christ and the gospel of light, the next step will be separation from darkness to
light.People may try to compromise a little with darkness in our

Christmas- And God saw the light of Christ was good!

KING of Jeshurun Devotions on Gen 1:4 (KJV)

 And God saw that the light was good.

"And God saw the  light,that it  was good”

"vai·yar· e·lo·him et-ha·'o·vr ki-to·vv; vai·yav·del e·lo·him"-(Hebrew OT: Westminster Leningrad Codex Transliterated).

 

God saw the light was good.Why the light was good and darkness was bad.The light was good because it was according to His planning even though darkness was not the plan of God. God turned the darkness to be a part of human history and started blessing people out of darkness. Light is said to be a radiant energy which makes the existence of life possible.Darkness cannot sustain plant,animal and even human race. The creation of light was a blessing from God.

There is now both light and darkness in the world.Which means both good and evil is existing in

CHRISTMAS IS LET THERE BE LIGHT !

Before we begin our Bible study Let us recite this verses:

A.“ Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path”. ( Psalm 119:105)

B.“God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” ( John 4:24)

God said let there be light Gen 1:3 and there was light.

If you are new to the Bible then recite this verses:

A."For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

B.“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him" (John 3:36).

THE SEED

“And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel” (Gen 3:15).

Serpent talking to Eve

The Divine Promise:

The third chapter of Genesis reveals that man chose against God despite the perfect environment and provision God had given him in the Garden. At the very moment the choice was made, Satan became the victor in the first battle of the conflict here on earth. He immediately seized control of this world and of man (2 Cor 4:4).The only hope for man, which is found in Genesis 3:15, is also God’s solution to the angelic conflict. God made a gracious promise as He sentenced the serpent.
