What the Bible says about Christmas and let us stop arguments.

I respect and honour everyone that spoke about Christmas and other celebration days in honour of Jesus. It shows that they are proofs
 of a well inclined clergymen/persons in theology and biblical history.

But we need to be careful not to be guilty of Matthew 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

This shenanigans of venting anger towards each other as a fellow Christian should be disdained. Even if history and proofs makes it clear that its origin is idolatry. Numenclature of events, programs or group doesn't concern God, provided it is to reference God.

Let us now examine this in the light of God's word and stop this misunderstanding amongst us.

Romans 14:6a (I will read it in NIV version with simple explanations in bracket)

 "Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord (if you like call it Christmas, Sabbath, Easter, Holy day, Pentecost, Revival, Lord's supper e.tc). Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. (If you like say No to Christmas, Sabbath, Easter, Holy day, Pentecost, Revival, Lord's supper e.tc"


Provided it is to reference God and God is the center of it all, Praise God. But if that day is an avenue to sin while others regards it to the Lord, get ready to face the fierce anger of God.

Mind you, anything you exalt above God is idolatry, hence the Bible says our God is a jealous God (Exodus 20:25)

So to curtail being found faulty of idol worship either proven by history or not, some denominations chose not to observe Christmas and other days, however, we are not to judge. Let us maintain love among ourselves and join hands to propagate the kingdom of God, bearing in mind that it is our major assignment.

THE OMINIPOTENT GOD - By Pastor E.A Adeboye

He is unlimited in power He is the omnipotent God. Psalm 62:11 says, God has spoken once, twice have I heard this that power belongs to God. Next time somebody tells you that you cannot make progress, that you will not be promoted, that you will not have a child, that you will die sick, that you will die poor, turn to the person and say, “Power belongs to my God.” Jeremiah 32:27 says, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” The word omnipotent is a combination of two words; Omni and potent. Omni means, ‘All’ while potent means ‘Power.’ Omnipotent is the One who has all power. One of the basic differences between man and God is limitation. Man is limited, but our God is not limited. Man is limited by strength. In Isaiah 40: 30, the Bible says, even the young men shall faint. Strong as they are, they can faint, they can fall. Man is limited by death. James 4: 13-14 says, the life of a man is like a vapour. You can wake up and say, “Tom

“A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to  his  father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth  to me . And he divided unto them  his  living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.” (Luk 15:11-13 KJV) LORD, fire me up and set me on fire”… Let not grace diminish in my life. Let me not become obsolete, ever before the work is done completely.
