TOPIC ✨ Christmas Is The Word Alive In You✨
"And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth (John 1:14 AMPC)."
How awesome this is! Jesus, the Word, the ancient of days, became flesh and dwelt among us; that’s Christmas! I can imagine how awe-stricken the people were to see Jesus walk the streets in Bible days, full of grace and truth! The Bible says the disciples beheld His glory; He was resplendent in honour and majesty. The Word, which was, in the beginning of the ages now abides, not just with us but also in us.
The Bible says, “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us” (Matthew 1:23). He was born “Emmanuel,” but today, He’s the Word alive in us: “Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints…which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:26-27). Wow!
Christmas means the abiding Word in you! Now, like Him, you’re the Word in flesh, because you’re born of the Word: “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever” (1 Peter 1:23). James 1:18 declares, “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” Blessed be God!
The Word became flesh and walked the streets; they beheld His glory, until He was slain. But God raised Him up and showed Him openly with many infallible proofs. Now, He abides in you. He lives in you, and you live through Him! This is the true definition and essence of Christmas: The Word has come. Christ is born. He lived and died, to be born in our hearts. Now He abides in you forever!
The One whose glory and light the Prophets spoke of; the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world; the very essence of life—Christ Jesus—is born in our hearts and He’s alive in you today. Merry Christmas!
CONFESSION
Dear Father, thank you for your presence in my life, and the glory of your Word, which is manifested through me today. I’m one with theWord, being born of the Word! Christ, the Living and incarnate Word has become my life; I live in and through Him. Blessed be God!

# AFFIRMATIONTRAIN 25TH DECEMBER.
I affirm that Christ is at home in me, and I am alive unto God! My life is for the glory of God; I am filled with all the fullness of God. I am highly favored of the Lord, and well positioned by grace for an extraordinary life! I reign in life as a king, exercising dominion over circumstances, taming the forces of nature and charting my course in victory! Everywhere I go and in everything I do, I manifest the glory and righteousness of God. This is my life, my calling, and my heritage, in Christ. My spirit, soul, and body are daily vitalized by the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah! The God-life in me destroys sicknesses, diseases, and infirmities! I am healthy and strong! Only the life and nature of Christ—His beauty and glory— are manifested in my physical body, because He perambulates in me, through the Holy Spirit. I am set on the course of eternal success; I triumph gloriously today and always, by the power of the Spirit. As I walk the paths of this earth, I have the consciousness that my life is the expression of the righteousness of God! As Jesus is, so am I in this world. Blessed be God!
