“Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod, the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.” (Matthew 2:1-2) KJV
The Christmas story is not complete without the story of the three wise men that came to worship the Savior when HE was still a baby.
Real wise men and wise women today still seek Jesus.
They did not just stumble on the baby Jesus. They saw the star and followed for over 800 miles to get to the exact place.
To be wise like these men, we must follow the Holy Spirit who knows and sees all things, and He will lead us not just to our destination but also actually to fulfill our God-given destiny.
Sometimes we do make mistakes in following “correct protocol ” as the wise men did by taking their eyes off the star and asking Herod who had no solution to their problem but only added persecution.
The wise men quickly regained their bearing by looking up to the star that eventually led them to the Savior. Repent and refocus your attention on the Holy Spirit today to guide you to your destiny rather than being trapped by the Herod’s you are seeking directions.
Wise men are lovers of God hence they willingly, voluntarily and cheerfully gave their gifts.
When you are in a loving relationship with God, there is neither controversy nor debate about your giving to God because it indeed comes from your heart and not as a show to man.
“ Thank God! Call out his Name! Tell the whole world who he is and what he’s done!
Sing to him! Play songs for him! Broadcast all his wonders! Revel in his holy Name,
God-seekers, be jubilant! Study God and his strength, seek his presence day and night; Remember all the wonders he performed, the miracles and judgments that came out of his mouth…” (1 Chronicles 16:8-11) MSG
Being wise is to seek Jesus continually. Wise men and Wise women too still search and find Him.

“But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and the iron did swim. Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand and took it” (2 Kings 6:5-7)
Did the iron swim? That’s impossible you are probably saying to yourself.
The iron did swim. God specializes in making the impossible possible.
In the scriptures above the man borrowed the ax head and it got lost in a somewhat tricky situation where naturally it cannot be recovered but he cried out to God and God did the supernatural.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever and HE is still going about doing good.“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him” (Acts 10:38) KJV
Don’t just admit that situation report that looks naturally complex.
As long there is life there is still hope.
Reach out to God with faith today concerning the matter.
All hope is not lost. Don’t give up.
Check out the testimonies of others who received their miracles.
Stop hanging out with those who say yours is impossible.
With God ALL things are possible.
The iron did swim.

“And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.”Luke 2:8-9
It was an angel that brought the good news of the Savior to the shepherds who then searched for the baby Jesus in the manger.
Angels appeared in many places in the Bible doing what God has commanded them to do.
In the Christmas story, they were the first messengers of the Good news.
Angels are still on assignments today and when the need arises God even use them to bring His purpose to pass in the lives of His children.
Years ago I was traveling to a town in Britain, and due to train delays, nobody was available to pick me as scheduled. When it was apparent that I was alone in the middle of the night in a place, I had never been before a car showed up and took me to my destination without being paid. To me, that’s God showing up sending an Angel to rescue.
Have Faith in God that with HIM all things are possible.
You can also be that angel that God can use to show kindness to somebody in need.
In this season be attentive to what God will have you do to deliver Love, Joy, and Peace to someone this Christmas.
Angels are still on assignment bearing glad tidings including You to humanity.

“To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. “(John 10:3-4) KJV
What name do you go bye before God?
What name do you also call God?
When God calls you, indeed it means that HE knows your name and exactly where you are, but do you hear His voice.
God wants a close relationship with you and Himself.As the shepherd knows his sheep and calls them by name and they, in turn, know his voice and follow where are you in your relationship with God.
God called Mosses, Samuel, and Saul of Tarsus by their names they heard Him and responded.
Can you hear Him as He speaks to you today?
As in a closely-knit family they all know each other’s name and can talk with each other out of love and care, so also God wants to continuously speak with you and guide you throughout your purposeful life.
Do you hear Him when He calls you?
Remove all the distractions that are preventing you from hearing Him and come boldly before Him too and speak to Him also.

“And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.” 2 Thessalonians 3:2
Have you fallen victim to a fake Christian recently? Did you transact business with somebody that has been parading as a Christian and your findings are contrary to that of a believer?. Don’t allow such experience to discourage you from your relationship with God.
“And pray that we’ll be rescued from these scoundrels who are trying to do us in. I’m finding that not all “believers” are believers. But the Master never lets us down. He’ll stick by you and protect you from evil.”2 Thessalonians 2:2-3
Challenges like this do sometimes occur in the Christian faith but as the scriptures say the Lord Jesus will stick by you and protect you from such evil.
The blessings of growth in any Christian organization is that mixed multitudes always exist so please discern according to the Holy Spirit and don’t give up on your faith because of your experience with one. “And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle” Exodus 12:38“Then he told his servants, ‘We have a wedding banquet all prepared but no guests. The ones I invited weren’t up to it. Go out into the busiest intersections in town and invite anyone you find to the banquet.’ The servants went out on the streets and rounded up everyone they laid eyes on, good and bad, regardless. And so the banquet was on—every place filled.” Matthew 22:10
Don’t give up on your faith today because of a contrary experience you have had.
Not all “believers” are believers
