Blessed Chinese New Year! We don’t need to consult the zodiac, horoscope or any astrology to know our destiny for this year, because we know the God who always crowns our year with goodness and makes our paths overflow with abundance.
Jesus is our 福禄寿 who blesses us with prosperity, status and longevity. Through Him, we have received every spiritual blessing, been seated with Him high above every principality and power, and passed from death into eternal life.
Red is a very prominently featured color during Chinese New Year, and apparently the origin story is that a monster called the “Nian” was afraid of this color.
So people would fill their homes with red to scare off the Nian.
It interestingly parallels the Passover story of the children of Israel protected from the angel of death when they applied the blood of the lamb on their doorposts and lintels.
The Passover is a picture of the blood of Jesus protecting us from Death. When we placed our faith in Jesus as our Lord, the Holy Spirit applied Jesus’ blood on the doorposts of our heart.
Now whenever Death or Satan comes to try and deceive us, they have to approach with caution because they are afraid of the holy blood that covers us.
Once we discover that they have no hold over us, they become powerless!
This Chinese New Year, Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart again. He says that He will come in and feast with whoever opens the door to Him. The ultimate reunion dinner with God.
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me. He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.” (Revelation 3:20-21 WEB)
If you are Chinese you will go around visiting your family and friends, but have you gone back home to your Heavenly Father? He wants to give you the greatest blessings and gifts.
Return to the one who loves you with an everlasting love—call on the name of Jesus and be saved.
““He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate; for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’ They began to celebrate.” (Luke 15:20-24 WEB)
If you haven’t made Jesus your Lord yet, then just say this simple prayer with me: “Jesus, come into my life. Be my personal Lord and Savior. I believe you died on the cross and rose again on the third day.
By the blood you shed for me, my sins have been completely forgiven and I am now a child of God.
I receive every spiritual blessing in You. Teach me to live for You and to glorify Your name. Amen!”
