The Lost Meaning of Christmas

Christmas Clothes.

That was the highlight of Christmas for us growing up. We couldn’t wait to wear our Mickey Mouse eyeglasses, paired with our brand-new Christmas clothes, and proudly show them off on Christmas Day.

It was fun.

That was why we looked forward to Christmas—the pomp and pageantry, the rice and chicken, the new clothes, the outings, the social gatherings, the laughter.

For us, that was Christmas.

And today, not much has changed.

As Christmas draws near, the markets are brimming and bustling with people making purchases—goats, cows, chickens, bags of rice, spices, drinks. The ladies are braiding their hair, fixing their nails, and setting their lashes. Hotels, nightclubs, and lounges roll out event after event.

Celebration mode is activated.

You can feel the excitement in the air. The fireworks are banging.

But something… or rather, Someone is missing.

The very Person being celebrated—Jesus.

Christmas has slowly become a season where the emphasis is placed more on the celebration than on the Celebrant. Jesus has been so pushed to the margins that “Detty December” is fast becoming the headline, all in the name of celebration.

Sadly, even some of our churches have failed to recognize that this season presents a powerful opportunity to amplify the name of Jesus. This should be the time when Christ is loudly, clearly, and unapologetically proclaimed. Jesus should be the central message of this season.

Don’t get me wrong—I love this season. I cherish the time spent with family and the moments shared with friends. But for me, Christmas is more than food, clothes, and outings. It is a sacred opportunity to share Jesus.

Yes, the exact date of His birth is unknown. Yes, December 25th has been linked by some to pagan traditions. But I choose to exalt the Name and the Person of Jesus above every idol. What the world once used for darkness, we now use as a loud reminder that a Saviour was born—and through Him comes salvation.

So as you eat your rice and chicken, laugh, dance, and enjoy the company of loved ones, remember this: Jesus is the reason for the season.

Share Him with someone—just as I am sharing Him with you now.

Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year, friends. 🎄✨

Celebrities sell their souls to the devil for fame and fortune

It is said that most Hollywood celebrities, to get to where they are today, made a deal with the devil...they sold their souls for fame and fortune. By selling their souls they submit to Satan so that he totally uses, enslaves and possesses their life, body, mind, will and soul. Satan's goal and agenda becomes theirs. Their life is no more their own. So let it not surprise you when their songs or movies serve Satan's purpose of driving men into deeper darkness. These celebrities are idolized and literally worshiped but clearly they serve Satan and channel demonic spirits through their music and movies. From the likes of Madonna,Jay Z, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Nicky Minaj ,Eminem, Bob Dylan and so so many others, these are known to be demon possessed having sold their souls to the devil. Melyssa Ford, a Canadian hip hop model and actress ,said in an interview, "If your ultimate goal is to be famous, you have to do a lot to get there like sign your name in blood i...

See how music is used to cast spells...(A must read)

We love music, but do you know there could be more to music than we bargained for? The devil is desperate and we should not be ignorant of his devices and this is one of them. One weapon that he always uses is subtlety . Here's what I pulled from a Wiccan website concerning Magickal music or let me say how they cast spells in music: "A magick spell is the integration of an intent with a physical representation of that intent. "For instance, when you make a Witch’s spell pouch, out of a cloth and some herbs and oils and objects, each of those items represents a part of your intent. And in the magick, you are binding those two things: your intention and the physical world. "This brings your intention into form in the physical world. That's how magick spells work. In magickal music, the intention is wrapped up into a song, and bound into it. "When I create magickal songs, I do it with the guidance of the Divine. In a meditative state...

Late Hollywood actress, Marilyn Monroe, told Billy Graham, "I don't need your Jesus."

She had the perfect life anyone could dream of; remarkable wealth and great fame. Despite all that, Marilyn kept all of her sufferings to herself. One day during filming, a preacher named Billy Graham visited her. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus". During that time, Monroe who was allegedly having a romantic affair with the President of the United States, John F Kennedy. A week later, she was found dead in her bedroom. Theories of her death started to spread. Some say she was assassinated because of political conspiracies and in the end, the most accepted theory up to this day is she committed suicide. It shows that she was suffering from a severe depression. In fact it is actually the right time for her to seek God, asking for help, not to take the easy way out by taking her own life. *Hmmm... One day soon I will write on Marily...

You think watching porn is a harmless fun? Ex-porn actress, April Garris, gives a glimpse into the ‘spiritual’ side of porn

Many think that watching porn is a harmless fun but few realize the spiritual consequence of indulging in it. The story you are about to read is a part of a testimony by a former porn actress, April Garris. While she was praying for those involved in porn, God opened her eyes to ‘see’ the demonic reality in the porn industry. The vision involved one of those porn shoots she had been involved in. She recalled what happened in the scene. As she visualized herself having hardcore sex and the people all around her, God gave her an insight into the demonic realm that controls the porn industry. She said: " In the vision, I saw a room literally filled with demons. The people involved in the production of the video including myself were completely oblivious to this horrific reality- the total demonic regime which was present. The demons themselves were doing various things. Some of them were watching us have sex. Others were roaming around ...
