Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar abandoned their respective kingdoms.
They convened at a spot maybe as the unique star directed. But unique
about their journey was the gifts they were carrying; GOLD, MYRRH and
FRANKINCENSE. The three kings(Magi) knew they were on a sojourn to
behold a GREATER KING. So gifts were of the essence. Not just any gift
anyway. Suitable gifts. Gifts worthy of this kingdom, his sacrifice and
the preservation of this king at death. Today CHRIST remains he KING OF
KINGS.
The year is still unfolding. And many birthdays will
definitely unfold with it too. Lionel Messi's elder brother once said
that they always bought him (Lionel Messi) a football every birthday.
Today, Messi is arguably the BEST PLAYER EVER.
And so, it came to
pass that your sister delivered a bouncing baby boy. Two days after,
being led by joy you visited them and brought with you BABY DIAPERS only
as gifts for the newborn child. I wonder what you believe the child
will grow into. Babysitter???? A maid??????
The mother of the
child already knew she needed to buy those. And already have them too.
So you are expected to come visiting, bearing gifts of admirable wishes.
Maybe a palmtop, if it was revealed to you that the baby will grow into
a computer scientist. Or a musical instrument, if you believe will be
'THE NEXT BIG TALENT'. Get him a toy stethoscope and wish him well
should he consider Medicine. A toy aeroplane should he consider a career
in aeronautics.
2016 has come with another opportunity to right
some of these wrongs. There will be so many newborns this year. Please
visit with kingly gifts.
Having presented their gifts to the
child they found in the manger, in a dream they were warned not to
return to king Herod. So, they followed another route to their
respective kingdoms.
Have you ever woken up from a sleep and
discover you had exactly the same dream with your neighbour or friend or
brother or mother etc???
