Christmas will always be the “in_season event” at end of any calendar year. Ask an average employee and they’ll agree with this. Most Companies, #Christmas is “eaten” earlier than the main day, & by the time the rouge day of celebration dawns, all the “Christmas-partying hype” is gone! Basically, Companies now prefer to celebrate Christmas a fortnight before rouge day especially those who work for Charity Organizations, Financial & Legal Entities, Cooperations or basically any Corporate Group! Usually, a week or two before end of any given year, there’s always an annual party prepared for employees by the Management.

So, when our Chief Operating Officer informed everyone about this year’s Christmas party program, I knew it was going to be nothing out of the usual norm. Speech, meals and more speech!On the actual day I prepared for the party as was my usual, knowing after the party I’d head home for some decent sitcom because I knew I’d be needing a lot of healthy uninterrupted “relaxing” after the party.

The party was great as was expected then, as we were getting ready for more speech which my colleagues and I christened it as “the twin-hour winding up speech” ,there was an announcement that was made calling for everyone’s attention. The immediate silence was swiftly followed by the voice of our Company’s Vice President!

He said he didn’t have much to say and proceeded to what he was scheduled to do. All this time I was curious to hear what he had to say since we rarely saw VP address us.

He motioned like he was finally reaching for his mask from his pocket because he was the only unmasked character but..

out of the blue he called my name!

Shocked, Surprised, Startled, Amazed all name it.

I was so out of it that I didn’t know how I got to the front where the Management Board was standing! I was fighting back my tears while everyone else was clapping cheering me! I gathered every part of me and fortunately I managed to keep my smile all the time.

To cut the story short, the Management had sat down and came up with unique way to award overall employee of the #year2020 !

Wow! The awards I received were the most luxurious presents for any average employee to be given. I received every present that sober minded people often think of. From gold jewellery, branded computer and MacBook, My own car, a two-week paid holiday at Rendezvous Beach Castle, Shopping Vouchers worth hefty price, complete scholarship for my son all the way to any best university of my choice, and was told that from that day on I was to join the C-Suite since they also saw it best to promote me. I am now the new #CFO (Chief Financial Officer). As if this was not enough, I was handed keys to my own house and was assured of receiving it in months time since it was at its final leg of inspection. Is there a need to describe the heavenly Cologne Deos that I received that day?

“Thanks be unto God for His #unspeakable Gift (2ndCor.9:15)” Jesus Christ Is God’s immeasurable Gift to us Whom we are given so we may freely receive and believe in Him. The gift of Faith, gift of Hope and gift of Love abide but (guess what!), The #GiftofLove is the greatest!

I had the Faith to receive all the presents from the Management though in human understanding it was hard to fathom how I qualified for them! The Management had decided to create a conducive environment for me to operate on a larger scale as the Deputy CEO. The presents that I was given were a motivation for me to work more and be more productive as well, which actually boosted my Experience and CV!

God’s #immeasurable gift to us is Jesus Christ!

#Questions

What are you doing today about this gift that you received from God?

Or

Is Jesus still placed in your “Trophies Closet” together with your gifts from last year’s Christmas?

Are you willing today to act on your #FaithToRecieve Jesus Christ as your Lord & Savior that is if you have not yet received Him?

~Thank You Jesus!
