Christmas, the Celebration of Jesus Birthday

Each year when Christmas comes round,
i sometimes wonder if we really understand what its all about.
We are so busy talking about Santa Claus,
and rushing to the shopping malls,
trying to hurry and buy them out,
That we never stop and think, that its Jesus’ Birthday,
We are to Celebrate.
When we open our gaily wrapped Christmas Gifts,
with their Ribbons Bows, and Tinsel,
Let us Remember its Jesus’ Birthday.
That’s why it’s Christmas.
Like the wise men with their Gifts, of Frankincense, and Myrrh.
Let us give the wonderful gift of peace and love.
For Jesus, was born as the Saviour, of the world.
When we sit down to our Christmas Dinner.
Let us bow our heads, and pray.
Let us Remember it’s a Celebration of Jesus’ Birthday.
Merry Christmas.

Christmas Season

It is Christmas season again
A season of celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ
Heaven’s gift has come to man
Mortal fate rests
Within tiny hallowed hands
Shepherds singing, a shining star
Angels proclaiming
Kings bearing gifts from afar
A scene of serene glory
The weight of a holy hush
The meaning of heaven’s story
It was God who brought Christmas gift to us

Who would recall the power of that day
At the time when he was led away
Bearing a crown, a robe, and fateful wounds
Was he not the gift from heaven’s womb?

Shall we turn from that holy day
And walk away unchanged?
Do we allow it to envelope our souls
Only to let it slowly slip away?

Through plastic, tinsel, parties and gifts,
Shopping, planning, and Christmas lights lit
Can the simple gift be heard or seen
Or does it quietly fade behind holiday sheen?

Let us not forget that he loves us so
He loves us too much to let us go
He sent a plan with his sacrifice
To forgive and cleanse and give us life

Embrace the greatest gift of all
Merry Christmas .

Power Conferred By Banknotes

Money is a current medium of exchange in the form of coins and banknotes, coins and banknotes collectively.

Buyers and sellers relate to each other through money.

The bible said in the book of 1st Timothy 6 vs 10, For the love of money is the root of all evil, which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

It is a fact that human beings cannot live without money
People go to work everyday because of money

The more money we have the greater the influence , the more influence we have the greater the control The more control we have the greater the power
Therefore with lots of money, we acquire power

We classify some people as rich, affluent and prosperous
This is because they have lots and lots of money
By the way, what is this power conferred by money?
In other words how powerful is money?

Several people agree that money is everything
Lack of money can lead to divorce
Labour unions will go on strike for money
Political campaign is doomed without money

Businesses close down when they have no money
Consultants sell their services for money
Without money we cannot acquire any property

In some countries, access to superior medical services
Is not possible if you do not have lots of money
Also in a number of societies, the caliber of education
You can have depends on how wealthy your parents are

To have money power is to have authority
Oh! Money, what are we going to do without you?
Many believe that money talks everywhere

Whoever has more money makes the loudest noise
The power conferred by money turn few people
To be labeled as the movers and shakers

Does this mean that the poor have less power?
Take a closer look at the society in general
The answer is everywhere and in all places
