Hello and a beautiful Saturday to you in the name of Jesus.

It’s still Christmas season and today is Boxing Day. It’s not “fighting” day or a day to begin to punch ourselves. It is Boxing Day.

Do you know what Boxing Day is all about?

Boxing Day is about gifts and presents. You put your gifts in boxes; if you have a Christmas tree you can put the boxes under the tree and open them on Boxing Day. Boxing Day is a day of presents and I pray in the name of Jesus as we celebrate Boxing Day, you will have loads of good things from God in the name of Jesus.

The Bible says in Psalm 68:19 that God daily loads us with benefits or gifts. So with God, every day is Boxing Day. But the world celebrates today as Boxing Day remembering the season as one of sharing and spreading love.

As we continue this celebration season today, it is important we remember that some countries, some people are in a lockdown and don’t have the freedom to do the things they will normally this season, our prayers and heart are with you. Irrespective of the situation we are in, let’s be grateful and spread joy of life! Spread loads of good wishes around and let it be a wonderful time to remember

Deuteronomy 28: 47 - 48 (NKJV)

47 “Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything,

48 therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.

This scripture shows us the danger of ingratitude.

When we do not recognize, appreciate and celebrate the goodness of God, when we are not thankful of God’s goodness - “for the abundance of everything,” then we open ourselves to pain, trouble, sickness and diseases.

Really, it is not that sends evil against people, God simply allows it because people open themselves up to these things with ingratitude. In the midst of all the things going on around us, I know there are lots of challenging things going on, but in spite of that, we can still be thankful.

Yesterday, I was happy that in spite of all the challenges, the place lit up, I saw pictures, Christmas decorations and all that.

The light of God is still shining; the hearts of people are still longing for goodness and I am happy that we have not allowed the corona virus and “pandemic” cloud the joy of this season out.

So, let’s send the gift love out; if you cannot send physical boxes, send joy all around the world. Appreciate God for your family, loved ones and friends. Thank God for the things you’ve eaten and the things you are not able to eat. Appreciate God for everything.

Why?

In all things and for all things we can give thanks.

Trust God that it will be a wonderful season for you and that you will close the year in a great way in the name of Jesus.

God bless you.

Enjoy the rest of your day.
