Christmas Greetings!


“Christmas”!  Is here again! 

Christmas is a very special time, when the world stops to remember Jesus.

Jesus is the reason for the season, the reason behind the giving, generosity and love.  All over the world people from different countries and family backgrounds, know there is something special about this time of the year.

Let’s make this a Christmas to remember, by focusing on the most precious and important things that we have in life.  Sometimes, due to the way Christmas has been commercialized, we can forget the true meaning of Christmas and what it is really about. 

Two thousand years ago, God the Father, sent His only Son into the world.  He came to save the world (us) from our sins and give the greatest Christmas present ever.  This is the present that we should all receive, everlasting life.  God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world, through Him, should be saved. 

Jesus was born that very first Christmas day.  He is the Christ of Christmas. God’s gift to us!  God’s love was demonstrated by giving Christ His Son, to die on the cross of cavalry, so we all can live forever once we receive Him into our life as our personal Lord and Savior.

As you gather together with your families and friends this Christmas, giving and sharing presents and love, remember to say thank you to God for the gift of Christmas, Jesus Christ the Lord.

Remember, to love one another, forgive one another and to believe and ask for the best for each other.  Let’s spread God’s love, which He gave us all to share through Jesus Christ and the precious Holy Spirit.  Remember to say a prayer for those less fortunate than ourselves, and where possible, sow a seed to help someone have a special Christmas.

God believes in families.  He created the family unit.  God believes in you, He created you.  He has a special plan for your life, His love plan.  He wants to give your life purpose and meaning.  God wants to put His faith in your heart and give you hope for a better day.

Remember this, God’s Word never fails. In 1 Corinthians 13:13 ‘Faith hope and love, these three last forever and the greatest of these is the love of God’.

Jesus, who came in the fullness of time, because of God’s great love for all man-kind, is the reason for the season.  He gave His life for us all that we may enjoy the riches of His goodness for all eternity.

Let’s all share the true Christmas cheer by sharing God’s love and hope with our family, friends and others.

Kerrie, myself and all the team at World Harvest Ministries, are praying constantly for you and your family, so that you may personally experience in many practical ways, His love and peace.

Wishing you all, “A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Prosperous New Year”!  From every one of us at World Harvest Ministries and Harvest Food Assist.

Please continue to stand and partner with us in 2018, so that together we can REACH MORE, WIN MORE, DO MORE AND LOVE MORE FOR JESUS!

Much love in Christ Jesus,

 Pastor Shaun and Kerrie Marler

“I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am only moved by what I believe.” Smith Wigglesworth.

If God’s Word says you are forgiven, then you are forgiven, if God’s Word says your needs are met, then your needs are met. If God’s Word says you are healed, you are healed. If you don’t let go of God’s Word, but keep it in your heart and mouth, then you can’t lose. There is no force the devil can bring against you that can overthrow the Word of God. God’s Word will make you a victor every time. So if you have been wanting good success and it has been eluding you, quit wondering if you have what it takes to succeed and remember instead, who lives in you. Then turn to the Word and put God’s success formula to work in your life. Start talking it, start thinking it, start doing it! You can believe all day long that the Bible is true- and that’s to your credit- but what the Bible says will never affect your life in a personal way until you start acting on God’s Word. Do not worry or fret that God has given more faith to others than He has to you. Rest assured in the fact that God h...

Honour your man of God

“Render to all men their dues. [Pay] taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, and honor to whom honor is due.” Romans 13:7 (AMP) The word honour means: to respect, to revere, to treat with deference and submission and perform relevant duties to. Honouring your man of God is vital in the life of every born-again believer. Even as a Senior Pastor, it is a privilege for me to honour the men of God that I consider my spiritual fathers and mentors. They are life coaches to me on my spiritual journey to success, shining examples of excellence in ministry, men to whom I look for advice, prayer, guidance and leadership. The importance of a man such as this cannot be overstated. Many of us would not be saved from the wrath to come, had it not been for the assistance, support and intervention of our Pastors. We would be ignorant of the Word, were it not for a man of God anointed to teach. Thank God for men who dare to teach the “Word of God”, i...

THE LAW OF REPETITION

Image
What you hear repeatedly, you will eventually believe. Repetition, our school teachers know this basic law of learning. That’s why when we were at school, we learned many things in our early years by repetition. Someone once said, “You must hear something at least 16 times, before you eventually believe it”. Television commercials are repeated over and over. These are backed up by newspaper, magazine, internet and billboard advertisements. The marketers know we must continually hear and see something before we respond to it.  Romans 10:17 says “ So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God ”.  It simply takes time to absorb a message. Great achievers understand the necessity for their team and those following them, to hear instructions, teaching and training, again and again, before they fully grasp new concepts.  Do not expect those around you and those with whom you network, to understand everything instantly. You are a result o...
