Christmas is not simply about a birth but a coming. Christmas means that, through the grace of God and the incarnation, peace with God is available…  (Tim Keller)

 

Father God,

We give thanks that in Your great mercy and compassion, You have allowed Your Son to become incarnate and through Him redeemed us from sin and eternal death. Truly we who have sat in darkness have seen a great light! The Light of Jesus has dawned on us on Christmas day.

The Light of the world to show us the way, the Hope of the world to save us from eternal damnation.

Lord Jesus, we are eternally grateful for Your grace. We give You all the worship and honour and glory. We bow down and adore You. We make room in our hearts for You, Lord Jesus. We sing hallelujah for the things You have done and continue to do. We lift up Your name Jesus and declare Your sovereignty in our lives and our nation. Hallelujah! Indeed we rejoice in the good tidings of great joy. We declare glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!  Amen.

“The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned.”  Matthew 4:16 NKJV

“Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.”

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”

Luke 2:10, 14 NKJV

 

Father God, in the midst of a pandemic and increased variants, in the midst of movement and travel restrictions, in the midst of political and economic crisis, You bring us hope – for unto us You have given a Child, unto us You have given Your Son to be our Messiah and our King.

We invite You to come and to rule and reign in our hearts, in our families, in our churches and in our nation.  Rule and reign in and over us Lord.  We invite Your divine government over us, we invite You to take over the running of our nation because lawlessness is the prevailing sickness of our times.  O Jesus, our Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, come and manifest Yourself to us in Your fullness in this Christmas season.  Truly, truly we need You like never before.  May Your glory be seen all around.  Let Your ruling authority grow, and let there be no limits to the wholeness You bring to our lives and our nation.  In Jesus’ Name we pray.  Amen.

“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”  Isaiah 9:6 NKJV
