Christmas is a season of joy, celebration, and reflection. It’s a time to gather with loved ones, exchange gifts, and enjoy festive traditions. But at its core, Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Let’s not forget the true meaning of Christmas and Give God Glory for the greatest gift of all – His Son, Jesus Christ.
A Personal Miracle
Amidst the festive cheer during the last few months, my family experienced a significant health challenge. My beloved wife, Lady Amber, contracted a persistent viral infection. The illness left her feeling weak and debilitated, limiting her mobility. It was a difficult time filled with uncertainty and concern.
However, through the power of prayer and God’s grace, Lady Amber made a remarkable recovery. She is now fully healed and walking again. This is a testament to the healing power of our Lord. I am eternally grateful to God for His divine intervention and for restoring my wife’s health. This experience has deepened my faith and reinforced my belief in the power of prayer and God’s goodness.
Miracles All Around Us
Earlier this year, with the ministry theme “Give God Glory,” I encouraged you to have an expectant mindset: expect prosperity, expect more, and expect miracles. Friends, what miracles have you experienced this year? Perhaps an illness was healed, a difficult situation resolved unexpectedly, or maybe you simply witnessed an act of unexpected kindness.
As we celebrate the miracle of Christ’s birth, let’s also reflect on the smaller miracles that happen in our daily lives. These moments remind us of God’s ever-present love and unwavering power to work wonders. Share your stories with me – let us inspire each other this Christmas season.

Unseen Miracles
Sometimes, the miracles we long for don’t come in the form we expect. We pray for healing, breakthrough, or a sign of God’s presence. Yet, the answer may not be dramatic. It might be a subtle shift in perspective, a renewed sense of peace, or the strength to keep going.
God’s goodness isn’t always wrapped in a visible miracle. It can be found in the gentle whisper of His love, the warmth of community, or the resilience of our own spirit. Even in the midst of trials, we can experience His grace.
Trusting in God’s Plan
So, let’s not lose hope when our prayers seem unanswered. Instead, let’s open our hearts to the quiet miracles that surround us. Let’s trust that God’s plans are perfect, even when we don’t understand them. And let’s continue to seek Him, knowing that His love and faithfulness endure forever.
The True Meaning of Christmas
As we celebrate this joyous season, let’s not forget the true meaning of Christmas. It’s not just about presents, parties, or decorations. It’s about giving God glory for the greatest gift of all – His Son, Jesus Christ.
This Christmas, let us open our hearts to the unseen miracles, trust in God’s timing, and give thanks for the greatest gift of all: the love of Jesus Christ.
