Travelers from Afar!

The Magi or the three wise Men/Kings?

These three men set out from their origins at the same time and it took them two years to meet with not the baby Jesus, as the traditional Christmas story tells us, but to a one year old toddler!

And how do we know this, because when Herod ordered the death of the children, it was babies to two year old’s and the Angel later told Joseph to flee to Egypt with the mother and the child?

These three men brought Jesus gifts, more so for His death and resurrection, they may have been from pagan cultures of the time, but they had faith to believe and traveled far to meet up and follow the star!

Matthew 2:1-16.
That inner Comfort!

Remembering the lost to Conflicts?

Many travelling peoples were caught up in the first and second world wars, but also in Ireland with the troubles and innocent people were shot dead by the security forces who did not care!

When people are pushed into helping without a choice, we tend to forget them, because they are insignificant to the glorious dead with words on a stone to a place that is hard to access or we find that we are not welcomed?

But through faith what God can give to us is more precious than the coldness of stone memorials, we have the warmth and the comfort of the Holy Spirit in our bodies, who gives us His peace!

Psalm 39:12, John 14:27, 2 Corinthians 1:3-7, 2 Timothy 1:2, Titus 1:4, Revelation 3:20.
The abundance of the Heart!

Comes good and Evil?

Jesus tells to us that good cannot come from evil and that we will be known by our fruits!

This is quiet a challenge for all of us who share the Lord, when we can, but it is also about having good fruit and not allowing the enemy to steal it from us?

Evil people cannot serve God, but we have to warn them of their eventual destiny and bring them to repentance, it is not easy to speak to them, neither is it easy to speak and share with the weeds in our fellowships who refuse to serve?

Matthew 12:33-34, Luke 6:44-45, John 1:4-5.
‘Happy New Year 2025?

The arrival of the Magi!

Travelers from the gentile world came with their respective gifts to the King of Israel and the savior of the world, but they also came to worship Him!

Most people like a good chin wag a dance and to praise God if we have the faith to believe, others are to conservative or proud to tap or dance, even to sin a tune or to worship?

For many this is the end of the Christmas story, but it is the beginning of a reign that continues to this day and will until he returns to establish the Kingdom of Israel and to gather all the believers that make up the Ekklesia!

Matthew 2:1-16, Luke 6:23, John 4:22-23, 5:35 Acts 7:7.

Overcoming war and Evil?

Memorialism!

Halloween is about the time of the pagan and the dead coming back to visit the living, Guy Fawkes is the 17th Century Bin Laden being foiled and then the nation gathers to remember the dead of the two world-wars and other conflicts that was part of the British Empire and Commonwealth?

For some they are great traditions to be kept and cherished, but they all represent death and the further we move away from the events, they have become less solemn and more of an event!

But us who have faith must see the great opportunity to share Jesus, that His light overcomes the darkness and that Good will always prevail over evil, wicked people and wrong motivation will neither stay nor last and not all as it appears in the world to be good and right it, since the world is full of delusion?

Amos 5:4, John 3:3, 14-21, Romans 6:22-23, 10:9-10, 12, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:26-27, Revelation 3:20.
EASTER!

‘For God so Loved the World?

That He gave to us His one and only Son….! John 3:14-21.

But the world loves darkness, it is blinded by the lies of Satan, that fallen Angel, that serpent in the garden of Eden and the tormentor of Job and Jesus in the wilderness.

But God has had mercy on humanity before with the flood he saved Noah and his family, now He wants to save as many as he can in relation to the end and Judgement day!

Many believe in that we can pray for the dead, but the truth is we must all make the individual choices now on this side of Eternity as to wither we believe or not in the death and resurrection of Jesus?

Amos 5:4, Mark 8:34, Luke 19:9, Romans 1:16, 1 Corinthians 1:18, Galatians 6:14, 1 Peter 1:9, Revelation 2:3.
Jonah and the Worm?

February 20th, 2024

Discontent!

The unhappy prophet, who ran away from his responsibilities and came back from the mouth of the whale to see thousands saved by his preaching in the city of Nineveh and yet he was upset because of what they had done and could not get over it?

God gave him comfort in his pain by the relief of the tree, but with no change He took it from him to show His power at work in the world with humanity!

There is much that we can learn from this account, that when God asks us to do something we should obey and not get caught up in ourselves and all the woes and anger of our hearts!

Jonah 4:7, Matthew 6:12, Mark 6:19, John 20:23.
Registration!

November 16th, 2023

From Roman times until Now?

Before the Romans colonized the Middle-East and the Holy lands, Israel registered only themselves and no one outside their ethnic community, But when Roman arrived the first serious census of the people in the region was undertaken and this has remained a part of western society to this day.

Governments want everyone in their respective nations to have a static place of residence and are not in favor of people moving from place to place, but the world still has many nomadic peoples and so they use A to B/Z to register them!

Ezekiel 13:9, Luke 2:1-2.
From the Bedouin to Smuggers?

October 10th, 2023

There has and always be big bucks in the smuggling and trafficking business for people who chance their luck in believing they can undermine the laws of all lands?

In this new situation developing, the Bedouin might be accused of being one of the causes, since they move about but in recent years this has changed for them!

Hebrews 9:26, 10:10, 3 John 1:1-3, Revelation 3:20.
Nomads!

What is it to be born a Traveller?

Modern society in Europe and many other places despise the travelling communities and they are named as a dirty peoples, thieves, slave drivers, horse dealers and tax dodgers and many more vile things, without accounting for their own self failings?

But most of the world still have travelling peoples, Africa, the Muslim world, Mongolia and Siberia, if not Canada, Alaska and the Aboriginals of Australia and people spend money visiting them to experience their respective cultures and ignoring the ones on their doorstep?

So what does it mean under the tree, most travelling people try to be born under a tree and they like to also be buried in that same place, if it possible!

Genesis 18:4, 8, 1 Samuel 31:13, 1 Kings 19:4, Micah 4;4, John 1:48-50.
