Psalm 2:8 (MSG)

Let me tell you what God said next. He said, “You’re my son, And today is your birthday.What do you want? Name it: Nations as a present? continents as a prize? You can command them all to dance for you, Or throw them out with tomorrow’s trash.”

Now we all know that apart from the glorious celebration of the birth of our Dear Lord Jesus Christ, the main reason for Christmas, the festive season is also synonymous with Christmas gifts exchanged among loved ones. Now, think for a minute, what would you say if the richest man on earth were to ask you what you'd like for Christmas? I can imagine the answers!

But what makes the best present? Take a look again at today's scripture. God is asking you the question. This is the Creator of the universe, not the world's richest man. His riches and wealth are far beyond human comprehension and materialism. He says in verse 8, "What do you want?" He immediately answers with the best response and says, "Nations as a present or continents as a prize?"

Do you see the difference between how God thinks and how most people think? If given the chance, many would call out for material things that have very little benefit compared to nations turning their hearts to God. Desire to evangelise this festive season. Give someone the ultimate gift, the best present, that is, salvation in the Name of Jesus!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

The best present I desire this Christmas is the opening up of nations and continents for the spreading of the GoodNews. I speak a harvest of souls like never before in Jesus’ Name! Amen.
