Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means “God is with us.” – Matthew 1:23 (NLT)
SHARING IMMANUEL
A poem by ILMA
Mary will give birth to a son and call him Immanuel
Christ saved his people from sin and made them well
He is the gift that God gave man so we can be redeemed
He is the sacrifice that was promised so we can be free from sin.
God is with us from the beginning of life until the end of time
He is present even when we turn our backs on him and think we are fine
Christmas is a reminder of God’s unconditional love to his children
Imagine sacrificing his only begotten son so we can be saved and risen.
What would it take for us to understand the essence of Christ’s death?
Will we close our hearts forever and later on regret?
Forgive, repent and confess your sin so you can be free
You will get revelations of his unconditional love and finally see.
Let us give the gift of our presence to our sisters and brothers
This way we will honor and bring the glory to the heavenly father
The spirit of Christmas is an invitation to love and be there for others
It is sharing Immanuel to all believers and even those you think don’t matter.
PRAYER
Lord, help me share Immanuel to others.
REFLECTION
How can you clearly manifest that “God is with you” this Christmas?

EXEMPLARY LIFE Poem Devotional

Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith and your purity. – 1 Timothy 4:12 (NLT)
EXEMPLARY LIFE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you living your new life as Jesus did?
Are you exuding love in all your deeds?
Be an example to all believers by your faith
Be a witness to Christ; it can change their fate.
Do you speak the truth by declaring God’s word?
Store it in your hearts and use it like a sword
Keep your hearts pure and walk in love
It brings glory and it magnifies God.
It is challenging to go through our lives without having someone to follow. That is why the bible tells us to fellowship with other believers because isolation is not an option in the Christian walk (Proverbs 18:1-2). We were all made to be in loving relationships.
The bible tells us to live exemplary lives. What we say, how we live, how we love, how much we believe and how pure we keep our hearts for Jesus affect all who we come in contact with. We can create confusion and misguide other believers if don’t live what we believe. We open doors to the enemy when we live a life lacking integrity.
PRAYER
Lord, let me follow your life.
REFLECTION
Why is integrity essential in our walk as believers?
