During this Christmas Season of gift giving, we need to remember that our God is the greatest gift giver of all. Matthew 7:11, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” Our Heavenly Father loves to give gifts to us just as much as we love giving gifts to our loved ones. James 1:17 says, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” The great thing about God’s gifts is they are always perfect and we never have to take them back.
As we study God’s Word, we can find many references to gifts and blessings the Lord bestows upon us. I want to take some time to look at two very special gifts. Every person on earth should receive these two very special gifts from our Heavenly Father.
The first gift we should receive from God is found in Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” In a world of sin and darkness, God has provided for us the gift of eternal life. As Christmas day approaches, we must remember what this day is truly about. John 3:16, 17 says, “16For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” Thank God for His wonderful gift of salvation and redemption to every person on earth. Salvation and eternal life are the greatest gifts given to us, and the most expensive. The gift of eternal life cost God the life of His Son and because of this, we should cherish and respect our walk with God above everything else.
Always remember that salvation is a gift from God. We cannot earn it or purchase it. Ephesians 2:8, 9 says, “8For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9not of works, lest anyone should boast.” By God’s grace, we receive the gift of eternal life. We receive by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I John 5:11, 12 says, “11And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” By accepting Jesus Christ into our heart we receive God’s great gift of eternal life.
I also want to take a look at the second gift from God that all people should receive. This gift is found in Acts 2:38, 39 “38Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” Once we make Jesus our Lord, our Heavenly Father has another gift for us. This gift is the baptism or infilling of the Holy Spirit. Every believer should put the Baptism of the Holy Spirit on their Christmas list. In Acts 1:8, Jesus tells us why we should receive this gift, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” The Holy Spirit empowers us to be the witness God wants us to be.
In Luke 11:13, Jesus said, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” It is our Heavenly Father’s desire to give us the Holy Spirit, but notice that He will not force it upon us. The Lord Jesus said we must ask for it. In fact, every gift from God must be asked for. God will never force His gifts on anybody but He always makes them available for everybody.
This Christmas let us all come to God with the faith of a child and ask Him for these wonderful gifts. At the mall, we see children sitting on the lap of Santa telling him the things they want for Christmas. With that same child-like faith, let us go into the Heavenly Holy of Holies and ask our Father to give us His gracious and wonderful gifts that only He can give. You can be sure that He will not turn you away.

According to Webster’s Dictionary, the word law is defined one way as, “a rule or principle stating something that always works in the same way under the same conditions.” A law is something that is absolute and can always be counted on to do what it says it will do. This is true in both the natural and spiritual realms.
The Lord also set up everything to work by laws and the principles that He laid out in His Word. The Word of God is the Law of God that always works and produces results. When we look at God’s Word and receive it as a law and not a concept or a theory, it will begin to produce results in our lives. When the Word of God becomes a law to us, it begins to govern our attitudes and actions as well as setting boundaries and direction for our lives.
When the Word of God becomes the law and standard that we live by it produces liberty and not bondage in our lives. I John 5:3 says, “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.”
In Genesis 8:22, God laid down what I call an earth law that would govern the earth as long as the earth remained. He said, “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” As we look at this verse, we see all of these things in operation today. Why? Because they are laws and always work the same way under the same conditions. We will continue to experience cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night. I don’t care what some scientists are saying; man will never alter or stop these earth laws from working because they are God’s laws.
Notice also in this verse it says, “seedtime and harvest.” A natural law that God laid out to provide blessing to man is seedtime and harvest. This is a law. If you plant the right seed in the right soil in the right climate, you will produce a harvest. It works anywhere for anybody because it is a law.
Now look at Mark 4:26-29, “26And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 29But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.” The same law that God set in motion to produce a harvest in the natural realm, the Lord Jesus set as a law to work in the Kingdom of God.
The law of the Kingdom is seedtime and harvest. To get the Kingdom of God to work for you, you must activate and operate its laws. The Lord Jesus said the law that activates the Kingdom is sowing and reaping, so whatever you want to receive into your life you must sow. To have friends, sow friendship. To be loved, you must love. Everything in the Kingdom of God works through this law. The only way not to reap a harvest is to not sow any seed.
With all the pressure that is coming against us in today’s environment, we can be tempted to pull back in many areas of our life. If the enemy can get us into fear and cause us to forsake God’s laws, he can defeat us. We must remember that God’s Word is an incorruptible seed that has within itself the ability to produce what it says in our life. The key is to activate it by sowing it and acting on it in faith. We must keep God’s Word as the governing law of our life. When we do, it will produce the same results no matter what is going on around us.
No matter what the need, the Word of God covers it. In this time of uncertainty, we must do as Isaac did in Genesis 22. Isaac heard and obeyed the voice of the Lord. He stayed in faith and he sowed his seed. Genesis 26:12 says, “Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.” We serve the same God. We have the same laws. If we do as Isaac did we can have the same results. Seedtime and harvest is a law that will work for us today if we will step out in faith and do as God says.

Matthew 28:18-20, “18And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’ Amen.” In these verses, the Lord Jesus reveals to each and every believer the very heart and purpose of God. We call these verses, “The Great Commission.” The Lord Jesus reveals to us the great heart of love and forgiveness that God has for every person and every nation on earth. It is God’s will that none should perish, but that all people should be saved and brought into the Kingdom of God.
In verse 19, the Lord tells all believers to go in His authority “and make disciples of all the nations.” This is God’s Great Commission to us: that we are now to represent the Lord and convince people to turn their hearts and lives to God. We are not only to win people to Jesus, but we are to teach them truths from God’s Word that will transform their lives. Our Great Commission from God is not to build crowds, but to make disciples.
Disciple according to Webster’s Dictionary is “one who accepts and helps to spread the teachings of another, also, a convinced adherent.” To make disciples then is to help people change their lives and lifestyles not only to serve Jesus as their Lord, but also be involved in sharing His Gospel with others. This is our Great Commission from the Lord, to establish the Kingdom of God in the hearts of people, that they may establish God’s influence on the earth.
My question today is “Have we, this generation of believers, accepted the Great Commission as God’s Word to us?” Do we accept the Lord’s words as commission, or order, from our Lord and King to go in His stead and make disciples; or, do we look at it as a suggestion that we can do in our spare time, if we feel like it?
In Matthew 9:37, 38 the Lord Jesus said, “37Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.’” We must become the laborers of this Harvest. We cannot allow our generation to be the one that lets darkness, sin, and false religions silence the voice of God. Nations and people are hanging in the balance and Jesus is calling out to us to go to them and make disciples. I read an article that said within the next twenty years there will be enough Muslims in America to elect the president. My question is “Will we, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, have made enough disciples to stop them?”
When challenged in the past, the Church has risen to the challenge. Believers have, in the past, chosen to sacrifice time, money, and pleasures to pray, witness, and turn back the evil powers of darkness. Revival comes from the broken heart of believers accepting the Lord’s Great Commission and releasing His authority and grace to this generation. This is our generation and our responsibility, so in the words of our Lord, let us also say, “…Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”

Needs or distractions? This is a question we all should ask ourselves as we face today’s challenges. The challenges I am speaking of are the things we must have such as food, clothing, gas, and whatever else we may need to make it through the day. The Lord Jesus speaks of these things in Matthew 6:30-33, and gives us some great spiritual insight on how to deal with these things. He says, “30)Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31)Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32)(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33)But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
The first thing I notice in the Lord’s teaching is that He reinforces to us that God is more than able to meet any need or situation that we have. The Lord assures us that God will clothe and provide for us all we need.
The next great truth the Lord gives is for us to get out of fear and worry and back over into faith. Both faith and fear have a confession. Fear confesses the need but faith confesses the supply. You can’t get God’s supply in your life by confessing your fear and needs. To be overcomers, we must get our eyes off of our needs and on God. We must stop confessing lack and start confessing that our God will supply our every need according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.
In verse 32, the Lord calls these things needs. God knows our needs and has promised to help us in getting these needs met. The key is for us to not let these needs become distractions that dominate our time and stop us from doing what God called us to do. Our needs should never dominate our lives, that place is reserved for Jesus and Jesus only. Our lives should be influenced by the Lord and doing what He has called us to do.
In verse 33, the Lord gives us the key to walking in both victory and the divine provision of God in our lives. That key is to put God and the expansion of His kingdom first in our lives. Simply stated, we are to be a witness for Jesus no matter what our circumstances. When we refuse to become distracted or discouraged by our needs and choose to put God first by praising Him and being a witness to others, the Lord Jesus says, “and all these things shall be added unto you.”
In Matthew 9:37-38, Jesus said, “37)Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38)Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” This is our time to be laborers in God’s harvest. Don’t allow personal needs to become distractions that keep you from witnessing and serving the Lord. Put Jesus first, be a witness to others and make God’s kingdom the priority in your life. If we do these things, the Lord promises that as others struggle, we will experience the supernatural provision of God in our lives.

Galatians 3:13-14 says, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” On the cross, the Lord Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law. The curse of the law was three-fold: sin, sickness, and poverty. Because of man’s sin and rebellion against God, this three-fold curse was allowed to come on him. Sin separated man from God, sickness separated man from health, and poverty separated men from prosperity and blessing.
In man’s fallen state, he could do nothing to separate himself from the curse that had come on him. God, through His grace and mercy, provided a way for man to be free. God’s provision for our redemption was to send Jesus, His only begotten Son, to take our place of judgment and provide a way to redemption and reconciliation to God. On the cross, Jesus was made to be sin for us. In becoming sin for us, He also took upon Himself sin’s destructive offspring of sickness and poverty.
II Corinthians 5:21 says, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Jesus, the sinless, holy, Son of God took our sin upon Himself and took our place so we could receive His righteousness in our lives. In Christ we are no longer sinners and outcasts, but now we are the righteousness of God in Him.
I Peter 2:24 says, “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” Not only did Jesus provide redemption from sin, He also provided healing for our bodies. We no longer have to toil under the load of sickness and disease. By Jesus’ stripes we are healed. Healing is now the children’s bread. We can now be healed in our bodies from all sickness and disease.
II Corinthians 8:9 says, “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.” On the cross, Jesus was stripped of everything. He gave up everything so we could receive everything. Prosperity and God’s full supply are a part of the blessing the Lord has provided for us. It is right for us to believe that God will now supply our need according to His riches in Glory in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We are to no longer live under the curse. We are now to live under the blessing of Abraham. Galatians 3:29 says, ‘And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.” In Christ, we are the seed of Abraham and heirs to these blessed promises. As we press into this Easter season, I pray that you will take the time to renew yourself in all the Lord has done for you and give Him praise and thanksgiving. A great way to honor the Lord is to receive all He has done for you, and use it as a testimony to others that what God has done for you, He will do for them.
This Easter, let us each celebrate our redemption and give God glory by sharing His good news with others, and worshipping Him with other Believers in the House of the Lord.
