      [continued from previous message]              God's love for us. especially through Scriptures like Isaiah 9:1-7. We too are       people who "walk in darkness" because of sin, and we too have "seen a       great light"--Jesus Christ ! This Child has been born for us. God's Son has       been given to us . . . as a gift! It has nothing whatsoever to do with what we       have done or should have done or had better get done. No way. It's not       about us; it's about him, Jesus Christ! Amazing. indeed!              Amazed means filled with wonder! Join me and others in singing       'And wonders of his love, and wonders of his love, and wonders.       wonders of his love '!              Lord, you are such an amazing God. to love us so much that you sent       Jesus to earth for us. Help us never to lose this amazing message of joy       and Forgiveness in you. Help us to be life lithe kids again, who laugh and       play and trust in others, because you are the Trusted One. Thanks for       making us ambassadors of amazement.       In Jesus' name. Amen ... and AH-HA!              Read Isaiah 9:1-7.              Isaiah 9              The Coming King              1 (2Ki 15:29; 2Ch 16:4) Nevertheless there shall be no more gloom       for her who was in anguish. In the former time He contemptuously       treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,       but in the latter time He shall make it glorious,       by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.       2 (Eph 5:8; Mt 4:16) The people who walked in darkness       have seen a great light;       those who dwell in the land of the shadow of death,       upon them the light has shined.       3 (1Sa 30:16; Isa 26:15) You have multiplied the nation       and increased the joy;       they rejoice before You       according to the joy of harvest       and as men rejoice       when they divide the spoil.       4 (Isa 14:25; 10:26-27) For You have broken the yoke of his burden       and the bar of his shoulder,       the rod of his oppressor       as in the day of Midian's defeat.       5 For all the sandals of the tramping warriors       and all the garments rolled in blood       shall be burned as fuel for the fire.       6 (Isa 7:14; Mt 28:18; Lk 2:11) For unto us a child is born,       unto us a son is given,       and the government shall be upon his shoulder.       And his name shall be called       Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,       Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.       7 (Isa 37:32; Da 2:44) Of the increase of his government and peace       there shall be no end,       upon the throne of David       and over his kingdom,       to order it and to establish it       with justice and with righteousness,       from now until forever.       The zeal of the Lord of Hosts       will perform this.              From On Eagle's wings Day 5              Teach Me Lord To Wait              14 Wait on the Lord; be strong, and may your heart be stout;       wait on the Lord.              [14] Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine       heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.              Psalm 27:14              There are so many lessons to learn when deciding to move from life       in southern BC to a life in a small village in the far north of Canada.       From a couple who had lived there previously, I received excellent       advice about what clothes to take, what food supplies to have with       me, and how to arrange transportation to get me and everything       there. I was even warned about possible delays. Anyone who has       travelled to, lived in, or worked in the North will know what I mean       as a “delayed” memory flashes in your head!       Once well settled in my new home and making a heartfelt effort to       learn Inuktitut, I was always asking questions of my new Inuit       friends. One answer seemed to be repeated many times, depending       on the question. That word was “IMAHA”. It translates as “maybe”.       Are you going hunting today? Imaha!       Will the plane land today? Imaha!       Their patience with my questions and my own eventual       understanding of just how important learning the arts of “waiting”       and “patience” are, became the bedrock of over 30 years living in       Grise Fiord and Resolute Bay.       We do know Jesus lived on earth with us. We don’t know when He       will return. Will it be today? Tomorrow? Next year? Imaha!       In the meantime we wait with great anticipation, being prepared       and ready for that day. Life is full when God is in it.              Terry Jessudason       Former Board Member of On Eagle's Wings 9              Conclusion:              Pray to the Lord and pray to be strong in Christ with your testimony.              Pray to the Lord: "Dear God, thank You for Scripture,       which tells me to direct my steps toward You.       Please help me follow You better today."              Pray to the Lord and pray for forgiveness of sins.              Pray to the Lord and pray to shine for the Lord.              Pray to the Lord and pray to Him who knows you temptations.              Pray for Muslims and believers in Whitehorse and the Yukon to come together,       and for Muslims to find faith in Jesus Christ.              Pray for Muslims and believers in Yellowknife to come together,       and for Muslims to find faith in Jesus Christ.              Pray that believers in Iqaluit take up Jesus' command to love and reach       their Muslim neighbours with the Gospel.              - Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you       - Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving       Christ among Muslim people -       Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."       - When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims       throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!              Pray for Canada's First Nation peoples,       that the Lord will draw them to Himself              Pray for the Lord to search your life ,       reveal anything offensive and cleanse you from unrighteousness              Pray: Jesus, you came to us in such humble circumstances.       Remind us that pride comes before a fall and that you       exalt the lowly, as you did Mary and Joseph.
