HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS, HERE I AM!!!
My friends oh what a gift that the world received at the cross. Who could have ask for anything more than the gift of Salvation and eternal life, given to us 
THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, when “our father which art in heaven” gave us His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, WILL NOT PERISH but have EVERLASTING LIFE John 3:16.
Now the question I need you to focus on today is WHAT DO WE GIVE IN RETURN. The MAGI who brought gifts to Christ brought gold representing his kingship, frankincense a symbol of his priestly role, and myrrh a prefiguring of his death and embalming of A priestly King.
“A multitude of camels will cover you, The young camels of Midian and Ephah; All those from Sheba will come; They will bring gold and frankincense, And will bear good news of the praises of the LORD.” Isaiah 60:6 it’s So much prophecy and still there was no room at the inn for our Saviors birth.
But my friends what is your personal BIRTHDAY GIFT for the KING. Remember “the wages of sin is death” “but the gift
of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” who died for us. OH THE PASSION OF CHRIST, our example of LOVE. who gave us such a gift and ask for nothing in return because God knew that the act of given should never be on some condition of now what will I get in return, because given should be all about LOVE.
So as a child of the King that would mean a complete elimination of self into the body of Christ where we become as one for “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Gal 2:19-20
So today as I personally STUDY GOD’S WORD, and as I allow God’s Spirit to guide A PASSION FROM WITHIN TO GIVE SOMETHING, so I came up with the greatest gift I could give to a king and that is to respond to our Saviors calling when He ask each of us to “COME TO ME.”
SURRENDER IT ALL FOR THE MASTER. My friends the PASSION must be personal, because only we know how far His arms has reached, and where we were when we were “sinking deep in sin” and He brought us to His loving arms and just said “COME TO ME AND REST” “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matt. 8:29-30
Such a simple gift my friends the king ask of us,when He simply says “COME TO HIM”. So what will it take for you today to COME TO HIM, what will you have to give up that the god of this world has you thinking you can’t do without. But He tell us if you do “COME TO HIM”
“He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.” Matt. 10:37-39
My friends that verse tells it all, and he never mentions the things of this world we fill we can’t do without like TV, OVER
EATING, PORNOGRAPHY, MONEY MONEY AND MORE MONEY, AND SPENDING MONEY, I think you get the picture My friends once again “IF THE ANGELS COULD PULL BACK THE CURTAIN” and you would see how close the god of this world and all who follow Him are to reaching their cup of indignation, and GOD STANDING UP AND SAYING IT IS FINISHED. We would all tremble and weep while putting on sackcloth and ashes as we fall prostrate before God in repentance.
My friends soon we want have to say “LORD HOW LONG” because He will be appearing, through the clouds above but today grace and mercy is still with us but the Spirit of the Lord is gradually being removed from the earth so while a few minutes is still on our side “COME TO HIM”.
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
