Merry Christmas dear blessed Church, and beloved brethren in Christ all over the world!
Christmas 2020 was a new experience altogether in the Christ Life World as Dr Able for the first time wear a wonderful Christmas hat to celebrate one of the most important days in the Christian calendar.
It was with tangible joy that he encouraged everyone to have a joyful Christmas this year – it may be our last, so we must enjoy it and make the most of this day. He continued to expound on Psalm 110:2 “The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. ” and kept on giving God thanks for all He has done for us this year, recalling so many miraculous interventions the Lord has blessed us with. The Lord made us rule in the midst of our enemies. Pastor reminded us that we should not celebrate Christmas like the world celebrates Christmas but should know we are grounded on the Word and as such such stand on the Rock of the Word of God, unmovable and unshakable in a world full of turmoil.
Pastor explained how 2020 has been the best year of The Christ Life Commission yet, despite covid, and that his ministry has gone to new heights this year, climaxing in the recent live broadcast to millions of viewers on Loveworld TV right from our pulpit in Kempton Park South Africa.
And truly it has been a year in which the Lord has increased the platforms and reach of the Christ Life World like never before. We have touched the world and changed the nation of South Africa in 2020. Yet, Our Man of God blessed the Christ Life Commission and declared 2021 is going to be far greater than what we have seen or experienced before, hallelujah!
Pastor also asked the Church to find out what the word “Noel” means in the Christmas carol that we sang, and for those Berean students among us, here is the definition:
“English speakers borrowed the word noel from French. It can be traced further back to the Latin word natalis, which can mean “birthday” as a noun or “of or relating to birth” as an adjective.
A term signifying the holiday season, Noël comes to us from the Latin verb nasci, meaning “to be born.
Noel is another word for Christmas, the Christian holiday to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the central figure of Christianity”
In conclusion of the service, the Man of God, who loves children so much, had a special gift for every child in the church, each packaged in Christmas wrappings with their own names on it. What a sight to see the beautiful kids of God walking to the pulpit in front to get their presents from the Man of God with the congregation clapping and cheering them on. Surely it will be a Christmas they won’t forget!
Dr Able and Reverend Eileen wishes each one of you a blessed Christmas season full of great joy, love and happiness. Our joy is Jesus is alive and soon we will spend eternity with Him!
