A Message from The Queen Abbess Dr. Patriarch Hackshaw
To The Mystical Order Ministries: Making Christ the Center of Your Life This Christmas
Beloved Members of The Mystical Order Ministries,
I greet you with profound joy and spiritual affection as we enter into this sacred season of Christmas. It is my privilege and honour to extend to you my warmest wishes for a law-abiding, peaceful, and joyous holiday season. May the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ bring renewed hope, divine blessing, and transformative grace into every aspect of your lives.
Christmas commemorates the most pivotal moment in human history—when the eternal Son of God humbled Himself and entered our world as a helpless infant. This divine condescension reveals the heart of our God: a heart that loves deeply, forgives completely, and desires an intimate relationship with each of His children. The birth of Christ was not merely a religious event; heaven declared that God has not abandoned humanity but has come to dwell among us, bringing salvation and eternal life.
As we celebrate this glorious season, I call upon each member of our spiritual family to intentionally make Christ the absolute center of your life. This commitment extends beyond the holiday festivities—it must become the governing principle of how we live, interact, and conduct ourselves in every circumstance. When Christ is truly at the center, our entire worldview transforms, and we begin to see ourselves and others through the lens of His redemptive love.
Making Christ the center of your life means embracing His teachings with complete sincerity and obedience. It means conducting yourself with integrity, honesty, and moral excellence in all your dealings. As I emphasize the importance of a law-abiding holiday season, I speak not only of civil laws but of God's divine law—the principles of righteousness, justice, and holiness that should govern every believer's life. Christ calls us to be salt and light in this world, and we cannot fulfil that calling if we compromise our witness through unethical behaviour or lawless conduct.
During this season, let your celebrations be marked by dignity, respect, and godly order. Avoid excesses that dishonour the name of Christ. Refrain from activities that would grieve the Holy Spirit or bring reproach upon our ministry. Instead, let your life be a living testimony of what it means to walk in obedience to God's Word. Remember that we are representatives of Christ, and our conduct—whether in public or private—either attracts people to Him or drives them away.
To our faithful members, I encourage you to use this Christmas season as an opportunity for spiritual renewal. Rededicate your life to Christ. Forgive those who have wronged you. Reconcile broken relationships. Extend mercy to those who need it. Share the Gospel with those who do not yet know the Saviour. Minister to the poor, comfort the afflicted, and be instruments of God's peace in a troubled world.
Let us also remember that prosperity comes not from worldly wealth alone but from walking in alignment with God's purposes. When Christ is at the center, we experience true abundance—peace that surpasses understanding, joy unspeakable, and love that never fails.
May this Christmas season bring you closer to the heart of God. May your homes be filled with righteousness, your hearts with gratitude, and your lives with the manifest presence of Christ.
In Divine Authority and Love,
The Queen Abbess Dr. Patriarch Hackshaw
