Messages of Christmas

12/22/2021

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” – John 1:14

This is a repost from years back that still speaks to the Wonderful Gift of Christmas! Jesus Christ is the Star of Christmas. His birth is why we have and celebrate Easter. His birth is what made the way for our redemption through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. Without Christmas, there will be no hope of an eternity with God. Christmas literally brings the whole world together. The message of Christmas transcends ages. The message of Christmas is timeless. The message of Christmas is captivating. The message of Christmas is transforming. The message of Christmas is profound love in action. Here are three focal messages of what Christmas means to so many people around the world.

Christmas is a message of redemption: Matthew 1:21 “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins." The birth of Jesus was the doorway to our redemption. He was born to save us; as part of God’s magnificent plan for humanity. Without Christmas, there is no Cross and no Resurrection. Christmas is central to our redemption.

Christmas is a message of love: John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. God’s deep love for His creatures warranted an action that validated His love for us. His own beloved Son, not another creature, but His own Son, God sent demonstrating how deep He loves to have us back to Himself. By believing on the Person of Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross, we can be saved and have eternal fellowship with the Creator of the universe. This is profound love in action.

Christmas is a message of adoration: Luke 2:15 “When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." God made sure the shepherds were part of His plan of Christ’s birth. The shepherds paint a great picture for us on what adoration involve. Luke further explains to us in verse 20 that “the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.” Part of the wonder of Christmas, is the privilege God gives us to see promises manifested. When this happens, we have this longing of adoration to God because of His faithfulness. It’s an adoration that keeps us fixed and awestruck on Him. May we as sons and daughters of God, never tire of adoring our LORD! From our family and team have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

"Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!" - 1 Chronicles 16:34

We are very grateful for everyone connected with Oasis Focus Inc. Hearing from you on a weekly basis is always a joy. We love hearing about how you are doing in your walk with God. We are also, deeply grateful for all our partners. Together this year we have served people across the globe with over 2500 first time salvation testimonies through Oasis Connection TV broadcasts. Thank you partners! Through our weekly Saturday prayer, we have up to date, over 270.8K watch time minutes of people praying along each week. Through Oasis of Hope Podcast, now in episode 33, we have enjoyed serving you through your insightful questions. Thank you for staying connected!

As we reflect on all God has done this year and prepare our hearts for all in store in 2022, we are counting our blessings of each of you, your feedbacks, prayers, fellowship and support. We made it through the year together and that is the biggest standout for our team. Other major highlights this year are the partnership outreaches we have been privileged to engage in. Many have been virtual (seminars, classes, and conferences) and in person. We are still getting feedback from the conferences in the summer and most recently this fall.

We are honored to serve you in every capacity God commissions. Specifically, we are grateful for our most recent outreach to our friends and families in South Dallas. In partnership with the North Texas Food Bank and the Martin Luther King Jr Center we served 250 families with food and reading resources. Our partner Sir Kendricks Smile for Autism donated hygiene and cleaning supplies for the outreach and our friends at The Concillio donated their time and resources for the outreach. We are thankful for each partner and friend that made the recent outreach a memorable time of love and service to families.

Tomorrow, Saturday, December 18, the Martin Luther King Jr. Center will be hosting their annual Winter Warm-Up to provide new coats, hats and gloves to children in need. This will be a drive through event. If you would like to donate towards this event, please visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Center and make a contact via email or phone. When it gets cold in Texas, it can be extremely chilly. We hope that many of the families we are connected with about the school, will stop by the Winter Warm-Up tomorrow.

We recently celebrated all God has done for us as a team. We are grateful for each of our leaders and volunteers. They are passionate men and women of God with hearts to love and serve. We end this year with gratitude for the many ways our team has had to serve our communities as Jesus hands and feet by meeting the needs of families, youth and children right where they are. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you. You are God’s treasure. We are ecstatic for the anticipation of the harvest of God’s message of love and hope that will continue to multiply in our communities.

For The Cause of Christ,

The Beauty of Advent

"See, I am doing a new thing!" --Isaiah 43:19a

We had hoped it would not be another three months before an update via this public space. It is exactly three months since our last post. However, this is not the case for our subscribed ministry partners and friends. If you are yet to subscribe, check out the icon on this website that pops up and click on it to subscribe. We do send out weekly updates that keeps you informed of all that is going on here at Oasis Focus Inc.

This is one of the best seasons of the year! A time to focus on the meaning and purpose of Christ’s birth. With the onset of the Advent season, many of you reached out to let us know you are embarking on Advent for the first time! This brings us great joy that you will discover Emmanuel in a personal way as you journey through this Advent season. If you follow Oasis of Hope Podcast, we shared some ways to participate in this Advent season. From a time of consecration to an increased time spent in God’s Word, prayer and worship, Advent gives us the avenue to renew our minds and allow our minds to dwell on the incredible gift of salvation through Jesus Christ- who is the source of life and all eternal gifts now and everlasting.

We catch the importance of renewing our minds as believers and followers of Christ, with the major highlights the scriptures provides. Here are twelve scriptural examples on how critical our mindset are. Take a look at the connection to renewal, minds, thoughts and more in these scriptures:

Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

2 Corinthians 4:16 - For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

Psalms 119:11 - Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Ephesians 4:23 - And be renewed in the spirit of your mind.

1 Peter 1:13 - Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Colossians 3:2 - Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

John 8:32 - And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Colossians 3:16 - Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Philippians 2:5 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Isaiah 40:31 - But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

1 Corinthians 2:16 - For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.

The beauty of Advent is that God births something fresh and new in you. This is one of the major reasons we love the Advent season. It gives us the opportunity to prepare our hearts, spirits, souls and lives for the celebration of Christ's birth. As we look forward to the close of 2021, let the beauty of Advent be upon us as the Holy Spirit is poured afresh upon our lives for the glory of God! Brothers and sisters, stay blessed, stay encouraged, and stay close to the Vine.

For The Cause of Christ,

Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti
