Just BE! Newsletter-Issue 7-"The Reason For The Season!"

Dear friend,
Merry Christmas! May this season be one of prosperity, blessing and manifold increase in your life in Jesus name, amen!(Deuteronomy 1:11).
Many would argue that the actual date for Christ's birth is the 4th of October and not December 25 as is generally celebrated. But does this really matter? all that matters is that Jesus Christ is the reason for the season! Friends, Jesus Christ is the epitome of BEing! He is The Source! The Centre! In fact, HE IS! (Exodus 3:14). He lived His assignment on earth. He lived the life that God called Him to live (i.e. BE); He did all that God designed Him to do (i.e. DO - "It is finished!" - John 19:30); and now He has all things! (i.e. HAVE - Ephesians 1:20-22). Jesus Christ is The Model of true success! not any man we know (living or dead!). I know you have dreams, visions, things that are impressed upon your heart to accomplish in this life. I know you want to BE. I know you want to leave this earth with fulfillment in your heart knowing that you were all that you were supposed to BE; that you did all you were supposed to DO; and that you had all that you were supposed to HAVE! i.e. in other words, you were a success. There's only one way to do it; Trust in God; Follow Jesus Christ with all your heart; Be led of the Holy Spirit. Remember, Jesus Christ is the Model of success (Hebrews 12:1,2).

PS:
1. Please let me know how Just BE! letters have helped you in this quest for being! send me an email, call me or write me. I want to hear from you!
2. Last month, by the privilege of God, I entered into a mentoring relationship with Rev. Sam Adeyemi, Senior Pastor, Daystar Christian Centre, Oregun, Lagos, NIGERIA. Hence, the grace of God upon his life and ministry flows in and upon Just BE! International and all those on the mailing list by extension.
3. Please note the change in the email address. the former one is no longer a property of Just BE! This is part of the Just BE! repositioning drive.
4. Next month, "Who Do You Say That I Am?"
