Who is this of? Wisdom Bible Church.

The Church of. A.

So, Father, we thank you this morning.

For. The gift of life.

For the. Privilege to witness 25th of

December 2025. 20, 25. The UPS.

And downs of this year. The challenges of this year.

That you have decided to.

Keep us. For.

A purpose thank. You.

Father, in humility we say thank you.

Father once. Again, in humility we say thank

you, Lord. We ask that as we.

Open the pages of the scriptures this morning that you minister

life to us. Let us.

See wonderful things out of. Your law Open our.

Understanding that this Christmas we make meanings in

our lives. Beyond just.

The dates beyond just the merriment of God who will

encounter you. Tie your penny.

You need your your currency. Tie your penny, Akan, your our

name really to my currency. Beyond clothing ourselves with

new dresses, putting on new shirts, new new shoes, rubbing

very good perfumes on our souls, O Lord, we will wear you as our

righteousness. Our world we.

Praying God glory in this service this morning.

There will. Be experience of newness in our

lives in Jesus name. It.

Is possible that people are celebrating and you have come

with a lot of bodies, a lot of troubles in your mind because

Christ was born and we are celebrating his path.

Today we declare that through the Word of God, bodies will be

lifted. And the.

Name of the Lord alone will be glorified in Jesus name.

We have prayed. Amen.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Amen. Let's talk about Bibles very

quickly to Galatians chapter. 4 Galatians chapter. 4.

We read the. First, several verses.

I read the. First verse my brother that is

translating we read in Yoruba. I will read the second verse.

If we read verse 2IN Yoruba until we get to the seventh

verse, I. Will read verse one.

In translator. We also read verse one in

Yoruba. Yoruba I.

Would read verse 2. You also read verse 2 in Yoruba.

My KSI KGO before KSI KG near the Yoruba.

We finished with the 7th. Verse now.

I say that. The hair.

As long as he is a child, different nothing from his

servant, though he be Lord of all.

In jail we pay, but. Is under tutors and governors

until the time appointed of the father.

So we, when we were children, were in bondage under the

elements of the. But when the fullness of time

was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made

under. The law to.

Redeem them that were under the law that we might receive the

adoption of. Souls and.

Because ye are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son

into your hearts. Crying Harbour Father.

Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son, and Eve a

son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Neutrina because your mom may the Lord.

Bless the reading and the hearing of his words.

Jesus. God would like to address us

this morning from this scripture.

A lot of empowers, sorrow and new world Latino acceptability

artici but. The title of the message is This

is Christmas. Our career, it was tsunami.

This is Christmas. A ye nicolasi.

This is Christmas. A ye nicolasi.

And by the grace of God, we will be trying to look at the

meaning, the purpose and the response to Christmas.

Nepal. Oriola, Ron.

Amawa E, Tuma E Radii Down Secrecy.

Hallelujah, brethren. Ara.

It is an open truth, is an open. Truth.

That Christmas is the most celebrated moment in the

Christian calendar, in fact, in the whole.

Yes, it is the most misunderstood.

And. That is the reason any time we

approach Christmas season. You begin to see.

Preparations. You also.

Begin to see discussions and. Dialogue.

You begin to see interpretations,

misinterpretations. You begin to see arguments.

Around Christmas. Today, even in the body of

Christ. We.

Have confusion about whether it is correct to gather on a day

like this and celebrate Christmas or not.

So. Whether from within or from

without, you see arguments. Around the issue of Christmas,

but one thing is clear, whether. We agree or not?

The. Christmas season is the most

celebrated season in the whole world.

For many people, Christmas has become a season of.

Emotion without reflection. God.

Bless you, emotions. Some.

Emotions are positive, some are negative.

As we are. Speaking this morning.

I. Can assure you very.

Well. We have families that are at

loggerhead. Husband fighting wife, wife

fighting husband because the husband has not been able to

provide sufficient money to buy chicken.

Husband fighting wife because the woman has made a demand and

the man is like upon this giant project and pressure for finance

or other things that are pertinent to the lives of our

children. It is the matter of the 10,000

I've not been able to give you for shoe.

That concerns you. Emotions.

Itara. Without reflection.

Lies the arrow delay. So for a lot of people,

Christmas season is loaded with a lot of emotions, shallow

reflection. For many people.

Is about celebration without. Select empty celebration, no

contemplation. I doyon Lasa likes Euronu.

Put on nice dresses. Why wash all your dollar?

Take pictures. Why your photo?

Do video. Watch a video and.

Thank God everybody has turned to content creators now with

TikTok and the Internet. So every phone now is with

TikTok software or application to do short whatever all manner

of a fizzy and pause and rejoice and feel good.

And feel nice. Now, if you take your time to

actually now think deeply, you discover that everything is

about self. Christ is missing.

So I must do selfie. They must know.

That I have put on. A new on Christmas Day.

I must do selfie, I must do TikTok, they must see the new

hairstyle that I did for Christmas.

So everything is about self. Centeredness about yourself,

about myself, about hi. And only me.

Contemplation about the day, about the event, about the

significance of this day is missing in the celebration that

many people do. Today, Christie for many.

Christmas is simply tradition without theology.

Hallelujah tradition without a. Link back to God who sent his.

Son, I pray that. This morning you and I gathered

this morning to worship God. We will bring back reflection,

we'll bring back contemplation, we'll bring back theology into

our mocking of the day that. Christ so today learning.

In our. In.

Our decorations. In our.

Family gathering. Profound.

Is clearly missing for many people.

We can. See that biblical depth in what?

We are doing your daddy. The scripture we.

Read. Paul.

Paul. Is inviting us into a depth of.

And Apostle 4 gives us one of the clearest and most

geologically sound rich explanation about what Christmas

means. Telling us.

Why God acted in history? How we must respond to God's

love. ITP actually down, you see.

Christmas is not. About sentiment.

It is salvation history. Hallelujah.

I mean. It is about divine intervention

in the affairs of. Men so the.

First thing I want us to realize this morning.

Christmas is about. Incarnation not about.

The date. You have no business to engage

anybody on argument on whether Jesus was born on the 25th or

was born on the 3rd of March. Or was born in April 27th.

If that were important. The Spirit.

Of the Lord will not omit that in the recordings that we have

in the Bible on the specific date.

And we'll date you saw Bang Bang.

What was important, what remains important and what, if ever,

remain important, is that Christmas is about incarnation.

Or Joseph Pataki. Joseph Pataki So.

The emphasis of the scripture is on the events, not on the

calendar. So in.

Chapter 1 verse one says in the beginning, what's the word the

word was with? God and God, what's the Word

and. By the time you jump to verse

14. The Bible says and.

The. Word was made flesh.

Full of grace and truth. This is the concern of the.

Bible the concern. Of God is the event, not the

calendar. Christmas.

Is that God became man came. In human flesh.

It is about God taking on full humanity without ceasing to be

God. Christmas for you is not

argument on date and calendar. Christmas for you concern.

Should be the Christmas marks the moment when the eternal

world entered. Into human history.

When God enter into human. Vulnerability when?

God enter into human. Weakness when?

God enter into human time. It.

Is pleasant to know that God did not only visited humanity, God

became human. God did not merely.

Visit humanity, God became. 2. EKG.

Christmas is God revealing himself as a person.

The Bible did not present Jesus to us just as an ordinary

prophet. And.

This is the marked difference between your faith and the faith

of the other religion that takes Jesus as just one of the

prophets. No, it is more than Jesus being

one of the prophet. It is God appearing in human

body. Jesus was not presented in the

Bible. As an ordinary messenger.

We believe concerned by Jesus. Jesus was not presented in the

Bible to us as just an ordinary moral teacher.

We believe concerned by. Jesus is God's self revelation.

So in John chapter 14 verse 9. No, no where do I know whoever

John 14:9

has seen. Mean has seen the father.

Jesu or we pay. Jesu if we pay.

Yeah, basically me, you see. So Christmas.

Christmas is beyond merriment. Currency tayo I doyo.

So when we talk about celebrating Christmas.

What you are? Celebrating is beyond just

gathering, wearing clothes, wearing dresses, dancing.

No, it is about God who became a human being.

All right, God himself deciding on his own that I will reveal

myself to these people. How will I do it?

I will put on their nature, and I will appear among.

Them so from the Bible accounts. Christmas is not only God

speaking a message, it is actually God becoming the

message. Revelation is no longer mediated

through visions, through the law, through symbols.

No, it is embodied in the passing of Jesus.

Christ, I regret. If you are not, I'll come up.

When calculated, I'll put you on, you know, Christian.

Before Jesus Christ came. They will see.

Visions. They want, you know.

They will see revelations. They will dream dreams.

They will. See symbols like Moses saw a

Bush that was. Symbolizing the presence of God

around. All those symbols, Jesus Christ.

Appeared. So.

This time around. Is.

Actually God manifesting himself.

In real form. To encounter God.

Himself that. Was what he meant when he said

whoever has seen me has seen the father. #3 Christmas.

Is God's initiative. It is not human initiative.

It is not. Human discovery.

God bless you so. The.

Incarnation is never. Portrayed in the scripture as

humanity's achievements, incarnation was never.

A religious breakthrough? It is never.

It is. Never a religious breakthrough.

It is entirely God's initiative. So, Paul said.

In Galatians chapter 4 verse. When the fullness of time was

Galatians 4 · chapter mention

come. So my.

God sent forth is so, so it is God's.

Agenda. So Christmas.

It's not humanity reaching up to God, it is actually God

stooping. Down to humanity, my.

Encouragement to us. This morning.

We should not waste this grace of God. #4 Christmas.

Is the fulfillment of God's redemptive promise.

Our musha era pada or malayala, the fulfillment is.

Missing Christmas is the fulfillment of God's redemptive

promise. Hallelujah.

I mean. Hallelujah.

I. Mean

can we read from Hebrews chapter 1?

Hebrews 1 · chapter mention

Latino way. Eberu Origeni.

Hebrews. Chapter 1.

Hebrews 1 · chapter mention

Eberu Origeni. Can it be projected Hebrews

Hebrews 1 · chapter mention

chapter 1 from verse one? Is it there OK?

We're going to read verse one and two.

Maybe we'll take it up to verse 3.

Can we look at the screen and read together?

If you are comfortable reading from your from your Bible, right

want to go God who at sundry times and in diverse manners

speak in time past onto the fathers by the prophets in

sundry times, different times using different people different

means to speak. Unto our.

Fathers, he picked up Moses and spoke through.

Moses Omar Mosay also sorrow Nepasi Mosi.

He picked up Joshua and spoke through Joshua.

Omar, Joshua. Osoro, Nepasi, Joshua.

In fact, God deliberately decided to speak to some animals

in the. Bible he picked.

Up Eddie kings and gave them revelation, and they saw

revelation, and he put his spirit in his own sermon to

interpret those revelations. Till.

Today, revelations given to Nebuchadnezzar in the book of

Daniel. OK, a lot of those in those

revelations are still awaiting fulfillment.

Yeah, Daniel Lee so God in sundry time.

Then in verse 2. Yes, I tell you.

What does verse 2 say? Can we read verse 2 together?

Want to go? And in this last days spoken

unto us by His Son, whom he had appointed, hears off.

You see, there is a redemptive plan.

A. Plan of salvation.

A Plan A. Promise of redemption.

And God started. To speak through different.

Prophet through different means. He decided.

To. Put the old message across.

To us in his son. So Jesus Christ appear.

Jesu Opera. So at.

Christmas what? We found happened.

Is. That there was a decisive

moment. When prophecies.

Of the past became presence. When?

Promises of the past became a person.

Expectations of the past became. Fulfillment, so it is no longer.

About God speaking in peace meal through different prophet and

different generation, but the embodiment of that message that

God was communicating that promise of redemption, that

promise of salvation. God packaged everything in His

Son, and it is through His Son now that is speaking to us.

So what we once anticipated became embodied what?

Was once spoken, now appear and is.

Seen Hallelujah, I mean. This is Christmas.

That the. Redemptive agenda of God find

clear fulfillment in the person of the.

Son of God. Christmas is the beginning of

redemption, not the completion of it.

This point is very, very. Important.

A lot of people. Celebrate on a day like this.

Fact some what they celebration is actually is actually a gang.

Up against God. What The celebration of Christ

on Christmas Day is actually disobedience.

Against God as we're speaking some people.

Have refrigerated all man of alcoholic drink.

Yes, I'm sorry, bye. I want county quality bum

freezer. As we are speaking, some people

have given boyfriend and girlfriend's dates and what they

actually want to do is thorough immorality to celebrate.

Christmas, Yes, I'm sorry, I want to as we.

Speak Some people have put money together, put DJ in place to do

terrible kind. Of party, So what?

They call celebration is actually not Celebration is a

gathering of filthy people for filthy living and.

God is not happy. With it.

You are in. This service this morning.

You have an agenda for today that.

Was not aligned with the righteousness of Christ.

You have a party that you have intended to.

Attend to this today. You have a date with a rank

motif today. You wanna overload by an

account. There's a whining and dining

that you have been invited to. You have promised them as it is.

Concerned today? Listen to the Holy.

Spirit, I respond. To Christ this morning.

Is not for that. And.

Christmas is about righteousness entering into the world of

unrighteousness to make it righteous.

It's about the holy God. Enter into the unholy human time

and history I'm making it. Holy, so when?

We. Talk about Christmas like.

I said #5 It is the beginning of redemption, not the completion

of. It.

What do we mean Christmas does not?

Stand alone Christmas. Is inseparably connected to the

cross and to the resurrection of Jesus.

So the Angel said in Matthew 21, you shall call his name Jesus,

for he will save his people from their sins.

It is more than the birth of Christ is about what that Christ

has come to do to save the world.

We. Read from scriptures this

morning about the battle. Of Christ in the Manger.

The Merriam song about the Manger.

I. Would have loved to talk about

the Manger but time will not permit.

Me, but beyond. The Manger.

That is. Something that Christ has come

to. Do come what?

Yes, he was. Born.

In the. Manger to the cross.

Ibujala ontakasi available. The major points forward to the

cross. Ibujala ontakasi available.

Where redemption was. Accomplished the major.

Points forward to the resurrection.

Ibujala ontakasi agenda. We have victory, total victory

was. Accomplished the.

Major points forward to the sending of the Holy Spirit.

To. Give us a new.

So Christmas is the entry point of salvation history.

Beyond the birth of. Christ there.

Is the ministry of Christ. Beyond.

The birth of. Christ.

There is the cross of Christ. Beyond.

The birth of. Christ.

There is the death of Christ. You could just walk.

Beyond the birth of. Christ there.

Is the resurrection of Christ? Into how many of these have you

plunged yourself to benefit? Your celebration.

Of Christmas is empty if you have not maximized the fullness

of the benefits of the coming of.

Our time is. Fast pain when?

Christ came. He.

Came for. There's 4 of Galatians 5.

There's five of Galatians chapter 4 that we read.

Galatians 4 · chapter mention

There was. Redemption.

And there was adoption. Hallelujah.

It is one thing for you to find somebody in a precarious

situation, OK, And save the life of that person, remove him and

put him outside of that problem and go away to pick that person

out of that precarious situation and pick that person up to

become your whole that you will watch over all the entire life

of that. That's what Christ.

Came to do. Christy.

Redeemed us and. Adopted, I will become.

Sons of. God.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah. You know.

Give us his. Spirits, that's relationship.

Jesus Christ came. We are celebrating.

His. We are celebrating this birth.

I shall adore your. But have you been redeemed by

this Jesus? Have.

You been adopted by this. Jesus, you.

Received the Spirit of this Jesus.

Through. Which you can relate with him

and say daddy. He.

Takes a level of relationship with a man to call a man daddy.

Daddy is not just a language of respect, is a language of

relationship. Baba potential or or it is

beyond language of respect. It has to do.

It is connected to relationships, enters and say

daddy and that 1 is different from somebody randomly just

calling you daddy. Any child can enter into a man's

house and say bye me. Not every random child can enter

into an house and call someone from Daddy.

We receive the Holy Spirit. Through.

Which we cry. Through which?

We have a relationship with. Him.

We have a walk with him. And.

As we walk with. Him.

Our response? To.

Christmas. He

came for our redemption. By this.

We have been given the. Spirits finally this morning the

question this. Morning.

What is Christmas to you? We.

Have established that it is not just about.

Dates celebrating God. What does?

It mean? It means.

That you no longer live. A life.

Of. Sin.

Life of sin. Away from the life of.

Sin word. We fornicate for you, no.

Fornication. The word we tell lies you, you

will not. Tell.

The word we kill you, you will not be a.

The word we sin and commit all forms of our righteousness, but

for you it is a life of pursuit of holiness you.

To comply with what every person in the world will celebrate.

But for you, you want to stand distinct and you cannot do it by

your power. It is only doable by total

submission to the Lordship of Jesus.

Christ. What is Christmas to you, my

brother and my? Do I have somebody this morning

saying, Lord, I want to have a better Christmas this year?

I'm making up my mind to surrender the whole of my life

unto. You can you pray to your.

pray together. I say.

Jesus, this Christmas must be different for me.

Very well, you are not raising it to me, You are raising Jesus
