JOY TO THE WORLD.

In St. Luke 2:10-11:

10. And the Angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you Good Tidings of Great Joy, which shall be to all People.
11. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

This Joy shall reach your home – Amen.

This Joy shall fill your Life – Amen.

This Joy shall Overflow in your Life – Amen.

Why did God send Joy to the world?

The Angel described Jesus as Joy of the Lord given to the world.

The fall of Man into sin was the genesis of sorrow – Those who choose to live in sin have a daily harvest of sorrows.

No matter how well you Pretend, you can never have Pure Joy until you are free from every forms of guilt.

Every happiness a Man can ever have from the Proceeds of sin always come with a sad end of troubled heart and disquieted Sleep.

The wages of sin is death. Death is a debt we all owe because of our sin. And if you don’t accept the Saviour then you face death by yourself.

And for your information, death is not just occurrence; death is a Spirit.

And there is Level one (1) of death; there is Level two (2) of death, which the Bible calls Second death.

Do not think that Physical Death is the end of death – No! It is the beginning and introduction to the other deaths for those who do not get their Salvation from death.

The Bible talks about an Eternal death which would be the Portion of everyone whose sin has not been forgiven.

Revelation 21:4 says: There’s a day coming, And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes (of all those that have been forgiven); and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more Pain: for the former things are Passed away.

May you be a Partaker of this Eternal Freedom from death, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

The only thing that can free a man from guilt and condemnation is Justice. But if Justice takes effect upon the guilty, he will be condemned.

Therefore, God in helping Mankind, sent Somebody into the world to face the Judgement for our sin. To be judged in our Place – And that Person is Jesus.

And briefly I tell you, this Jesus is the Son given to Mankind.

Isaiah 9:6 – He is a Gift to the world.

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a son is given: and the Government shall be upon His Shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

But in Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah gives us a Sign, when this Son shall be born – He shall be distinguished by one Sign; and that Sign, He shall be born of a Virgin (A Young girl that has never had Sexual Intimacy with anybody).

But David confirmed in Psalms 2:6-7 when he said: A day is coming when God’s appointed King, Messiah and Ruler shall be born in the world. And He shall be called the Son of God.

At the time when the Child would come, God dispatched an Angel called Gabriel, and Gabriel brought the information to a Chosen Virgin called Mary. And he told her in St. Luke 1:26-35 – He said: Hail, Young Girl you are favoured.

The girl said: “What kind of greeting is this?”

He said: You have found favour with God. You will conceive in your womb and bring forth a son, and you will call the name of that Son Jesus. He shall be great, and He shall be called the Son of the Most High God.

Mary said: “I don’t know a Man yet, how will it be?”

He said Simple – The Holy Ghost shall overshadow you. And the Holy Being that shall be brought forth shall be called the Son of God.

So she became Pregnant!

When the boy intending to marry her saw the Pregnancy, he wanted to avoid her carefully. Then the same Angel came back and appeared to him. He said Joseph, that Girl is not Promiscuous, she is carrying the Child of the Holy Ghost. Take her in and pet her. And don’t touch her until she has brought forth (Matthew 1:18-25).

The Angel also told him (Joseph) the name of the Child shall be Jesus.

Why? – He shall save His People from their sins.

The wages of sin is death. If you die a sinner and you are not saved from your sin, you will face death on your own – Death on Level 1 and Death on Level 2.

So Jesus was born. And then the Angel came to announce His birth (Luke 2:7-20).

The Angel said: Fear not: for, behold, I bring you Good Tidings of Great Joy, which shall be to all People. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Go, you will find Him.

… And because Jesus was born; now Man shall live for ever.

But you have a Choice – Whether to accept the Saviour or to face death by yourself.

If you are willing to face death by yourself, make sure you can conquer death. Otherwise, you will go into Eternal flames.

I tell you about four (4) Men who had encounter with the Saviour – Two (2) of them were saved, and Two (2) of them did not make use of the opportunity and so they faced death by themselves.

The First Person is JUDAS ISCARIOT.

He had three (3) Years of staying with Jesus, the Saviour. But he was Picking, Stealing and lying to cover it all.

He had three (3) Years of hypocrisy and putting up a bold happy face to cover and to conceal a guilty heart.

In John 12:6, the Scriptures says: This he said, not that he cared for the Poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

He kept on Stealing.

Jesus couldn’t be bothered but he had a last Assignment.

And when there was no more money to Steal, he decided to betray Jesus even though Jesus warned him – “One of you shall betray me, it could have been better if he were not born.”

He couldn’t be bothered! He went ahead, smiling and laughing as if there was nothing wrong.

He collected thirty (30) Pieces of Silver and gave up Jesus.

There, the line was drawn!

Judas betrayed the Lord, and discovered (when it was too late) that he had sold his Soul unto destruction.

Self Condemnation and Shame did not allow him to go back and say: “I am sorry” – He took his own Life.

When Jesus was arrested, after Kids handed Him over; He got to the Court of Pilate. Pilate said in Luke 23:13-25, Particularly in Verse 14 – And, behold, I, having examined Him before you, have found no fault in this Man: I sent Him to Herod, he did not find fault in Him. Therefore,I will release Him.

The Chief Priest and the Rulers said: NO!

He said: “What do I do with Him?” – They said, crucify Him!

He said now I bring Barabbas to you – A Thief, a Murderer, a Drug boy, a Troubler of Society, an Armed Robber; Choose between this Good Man, this Holy Man and this Robber.

The People said: Release Barabbas, crucify Jesus!

He said: What has He done?

They said, that’s the way we want it.

Do you know that Barabbas was released, and Jesus, the innocent was taken to the Cross?

Do you know that Freedom can be yours?

It doesn’t matter what anybody has said about you, today, Jesus will take your Place – Amen.

Barabbas returned home free; Jesus went to the Cross bound.

While on the Cross, He was set between two (2) Robbers and Thieves.

And one of them looked at Jesus, in Luke 23:39-43 he said – Master, You are a Miracle Man, You are Holy, You are Innocent. What are You doing here with us? If You are truly the Son of God and the Saviour as You call Yourself, save Yourself and take us out of this mess!

The Second one said: Don’t you fear God? We are here because of the evils we have done. This Man, for envy they put Him there.

Then he said Master, I beg of You, I know You have a Kingdom, I know You have Power over death, I know You are a Conquerer of death. Please when You come to Your Kingdom – Where there shall be no more death, where there shall be no more crying, where there shall be no more sorrow. Please, remember me.

… Who is this Robber who still recognise Jesus on the Cross?

And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today (not tomorrow) shalt thou be with me in Paradise (Luke 22:43).

Gentlemen and Ladies, Judas seeing that he has done terrible evil, and unwilling to make amendments, he took the money back to the Chief Priest.

In the Morning before Jesus was put on the Cross, he Poured the money, and hung himself.

… Judas put himself to death!

That same Morning, Barabbas was released (a Criminal). In his Place, Jesus was committed to death.

That same Morning (while Jesus was on the Cross) another Robber told Jesus – “Remember me in Your Kingdom.”

And Jesus said “Today (not tomorrow) you will be with me.in Paradise.”

The Second Robber said: “if You are truly Genuine, save Yourself!”

I want you to choose, whether you want to be the Judas, or you want to be the Second thief, who insulted Jesus?

Or you want to be Barabbas – Who committed all the crimes, but was forgiven, because Jesus replaced him.

Or you want to be the Thief on the Cross who was just five (5) Minutes away from Hell, and he was diverted to Paradise.

Jesus did not come to condemn the world. But He came that everybody in the world can be saved.

No matter how dirty, no matter how bad, how terrible, how long, no matter the situation; Jesus is ready to Pay your Price.

I recommend to you today the Man Who conquered death; Who raised the dead after four (4) days from the grave; Who Himself rose from the dead. The Man Who is alive and has gone to Heaven, The Man Who is Coming back, The Man Who has Paid the Price with His Own Life that you may not Perish.

ALTAR CALL.

If you are under the Sound of my Voice or reading this Message now on the Label of DMC, and you need forgiveness; I am going to give you the opportunity to come and be forgiveWhy should you go into Eternal flames when there is a Redeemer, a Saviour, a Conqueror, that has chosen to face death for you?

So, if you are under the Sound of my Vice or reading this Message now on the Label of DMC – No matter how guilty you are, no matter how bad you are; you don’t want to face death by yourself, you have no Power to face death:

I recommend to you the One Who destroyed death by dying and rising from the dead.

His name is JESUS – The only Man Who lived a Holy Life, Who never committed sin. He was never a Liar, He was never a Criminal. He was Perfect and Pure, but yet He chose to die.

Let us Pray!

For only those who want to be forgiven, they don’t want to be caught dead with their sin. They want to be given free entrance to Paradise.They want Jesus to face death for them.

So, if you know you want to be forgiven, start coming now!

And if you are surrendering your Life out there, do so quickly.

I appeal to you, don’t waste this opportunity – Judas went to Hell because he chose to keep his sin and to cover it.

Surrender to Jesus now and be forgiven. He died to take away your sin. He died to take death away from you. You cannot take death away by yourself; allow Him to take away your sin.

It’s time to hand over your Life to Jesus.

It’s time to be forgiven.

It’s time to come to the Only Man that can deliver you from sin.

He is the Only One that conquered sin, the Only One that conquered death.

It’s time for you to be forgiven.

If you are not forgiven, there is no way you will escape death, there’s no way you will escape Eternal destruction. But once you are forgiven it is over.

One of the thieves on the Cross said: “Master, remember me in Your Kingdom.”

So begin to talk to Him wherever you are right now or reading now on the Label of DMC!

Ask the Lord – Please, have Mercy on me. Lord forgive me as You forgave that Man.

Brethren, it was quite a Price that Jesus Paid so that you and I might not face death.

If after Jesus had Paid so much Price, we go back and begin to embrace our sin, you will have to face death by yourself.

Jesus said those who come to me, I will never cast out. And whosever shall call on my Name shall be saved.

So, we are going to call on the Name of Jesus for all those surrendering their lives today, and for yourself.

That the Saving Power of Jesus will destroy every yokes of sin in our lives.

Everybody say with me: Jesus, I call on your Name, save me Oh LORD, from the Power of sin.

… Go ahead and Pray for yourself.

In Jesus’ Name we Prayed – Amen.

Those of you who are surrendering your Life to Jesus say after me: Lord Jesus, Thank You for dying for me to take away my sin.

I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. I believe with all my heart You are the Son of God, You died for me, taking my sin with You on the Cross and You rose from the dead.

I confess today that You are my Lord. Jesus is Lord in my Life! I receive forgiveness for all of my sin, in the Name of Jesus.

Thank You for forgiving me. Thank You for saving my Soul.

In Jesus’ Name – Amen.

Place your hand on your head, as I Pray for you.

In the Name of Jesus, your sins are forgiven you!

In the Name of Jesus, the Dominion of death over your Life is destroyed!

In the Name of Jesus, sins shall not have Dominion over you!
