I don’t really know about you but I think Jesus is a hair freak!
“…But the very hairs of your head are all numbered”- Matthew 10:30(KJV)
When I was born, I had over 15000 hair follicles and I don’t have exactly the same number with everyone else, He took my initial hair count or let’s say he knew the number already. Right?
As I grow older, every day somehow, some hair follicles begin to die and some of my hairs would definitely fall out no matter how good I am with my regimen. I don’t have the same hair count everyday most times, yet he keeps a count or let’s say that he takes another count.
Sometimes I am careless with my hair or maybe I am either too broke or busy to change my weave therefore my hairs fall- and He takes another count.
I might even decide to do a big chop especially now that I want to go ‘black and natural’ so he will definitely do a before and after big chop hair count.
Other times my beauty mode would be activated and I would take care of pretty old hair and I do know that Jesus would recount. In fact He would be the only one who would know how much exactly old hair improved.
My point is that my hair number is not constant and would change naturally or at my own will.
He is not just busy counting my hairs but yours too! So c’mon He is either a hair freak or a ‘me’ freak!
Both ways I am glad that counting my hairs is on His daily to-do list. Whether He does it while I am running about my busyness or while I sleep it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that Jesus is more hair freak than myself and I love Him for that.

EVERYDAYJESUS is enough light! (A review)
<
p style=”text-align:center;”>Love Life; hate Darkness!
Love is light; hate is darkness.
Walking in love is light; walking in hate is
Darkness.
Walking in love is walking in light; walking in hate is walking in darkness.
Loving gives light; hating gives darkness.
Love makes you see; hate makes you blind
Love gives you enough light to see the best in your brother; hate gives you enough darkness not to see the good in your brother.
When you see, you do not stumble; when you are blind you stumble.
The Mutant sees because he has light; the world do not see because they have darkness.
Mutants are lights because they see and give sight; the world is dark because they do not see, and do give blindness.
Love is Life; hate is death
The Mutant is alive; the world is dead.
Love to live; hate to die
The Mutant loves because they are alive; the world hates they are dead.
To love is to live; to hate is to die
Lovers are living men; haters are dead men
Love is the Great Enlightenment; hate is the great darkness.
The Mutant lives in the Age of
Enlightenment; the world lives in the Dark Age.
Love the Light; hate the dark.
To love is to know; to hate, is to not know.
To love is to know God; to hate is to not know God.
Knowledge is the Love maturity, this is the Christian maturity, and this is also the very core of God, the Bible and who He is.
For me, enlightenment is when you know
Enough to put your life in the line for another
Without them even knowing it, let alone
Reciprocating the gesture- this is not rocket science, is it?
<
p style=”text-align:center;”>On the other hand, when the
Best you know is how best to have your way
And feel important without anyone (including
Yourself) ever knowing it, let alone
Reciprocating the “kind” gesture, then you are
In the Dark Age- sorry.
1 John 2, 3&4.
I want to believe that I didn’t write this piece. I decided to do a review on it. I don’t know how many of us noticed it or were as perplexed by it as I was when I did see it. Oh well.
The mere contradiction of this piece’s pieces is a good lesson in the law of excluded middle. Jesus can’t be said to hate the darkness, and be light all at once, since ‘Hate is Darkness’. Please, as Poets, Songwriters, Novelist, Scriptwriters… lets be as Theo-politically or theologically correct as possible. Poetry is not some meager field for making the barest shard of reason. There are thousands of Christian
Poets out there and when one of us dishes out slurp, it is easy to believe there is no reverberation. But we do this for eternity, we do this for souls, we do this for Truth…so let’s watch it.
Jesus is not Deos Obscurus, he is the revelation of God. There’s a lot that I can tell you about the Darkness, but isn’t it better I tell you of the light? Language is like a river, and our arts are boats of different kinds. The people who have boarded your piece expect to be taken to somewhere meaningful; please don’t drown them in cognitionlessness.
And don’t call yourself a mutant. You are a new creation.

EVERYDAYJESUS’ Free Download DIY! (An update)
The Word of God does not return to Him void. It must accomplish His purpose for the sending. This means that when God uploads any file online, the file can never return to Him without someone downloading it. All we should do is to ensure that we were part of those that downloaded it. We are therefore supposed to have the data required for our download. Faith is our data!
Par exemplar,
If I want a video, I just get some data to download my video. In the same way, if I want a guitar, I look in my Bible to stir up my faith (data) that will enable me receive that which had already been given.
‘Given’, because in His Word everything was uploaded ‘online’.
I have everything I need in Jesus’ name. My father has uploaded everything that pertains to life and godliness. All that I need to do is to just download.
Besides every one of my download is free. Receiving is free because I have free access to do all my downloads. This license is the Name of Jesus. It is a Family heritage- if you know what I mean.
So family lets download!
Call it a game if you like!
EVERYDAYJESUS’ ‘nomo’ phobia! (An update)
Since I was little, I had this strong phobia for both heights and depths. Jesus knows that unlike the woman at the well, He is not likely to find me at the well, because I would make every excuse that would excuse me from drawing from the well at my street in the Coal City let alone drawing from the well of living water- that is if well encounters or ‘being at the right place at the right time’ was a criterion for receiving the promised eternal Life.
Jesus knows too that I would never sing to ask Him to take me, and plant my feet on any higher grounds- that is if ‘ higher grounds’ were taken literally because I so cannot trade the comfort of the safe haven I have found on floors for any heights in this world- literally speaking, puhleez!
Recently, I saw myself running carefree to meet up with a deadline along a Ulysses huge overhead bridge at Abuja, with all the speeding vehicles underneath. So I was taken aback.
What had changed in me?
I realized that my phobia, (the fears behind my fears) were all gone. Then, I was not afraid of the heights but I was afraid of falling and crashing. I was not afraid of depths but I was simply afraid of falling and getting lost in the deep.
So what or who took away the fears behind my fears?
I’d say that only Love did.
I found Love and everything about me changed. The comfort and assurance in the love of my Father in Christ Jesus reassures me that He would never leave me by myself, therefore if I must crash or fall into any deep, then He would fall and crash with me. Thank God that God is safe. Besides, I know that He loves me much more than I love myself. The love of Christ changes us, and it has renewed my mind, and transformed me.
“And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge -that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God”- Ephesians 4: 17b-19( NIV).
Because perfect love casts out all fears- including the fears behind the fears.
EverydayJesus Hates the Dark!
Love Life; hate Darkness!
Love is light; hate is darkness.
Walking in love is light; walking in hate is darkness.
Walking in love is walking in light; walking in hate is walking in darkness.
Loving gives light; hating gives darkness.
Love makes you see; hate makes you blind
Love gives you enough light to see the best in your brother; hate gives you enough darkness not to see the good in your brother.
When you see, you do not stumble; when you are blind you stumble.
The Mutant sees because he has light; the world do not see because they have darkness.
Mutants are lights because they see and give sight; the world is dark because they do not see, and do give blindness.
Love is Life; hate is death
The Mutant is alive; the world is dead.
Love to live; hate to die
The Mutant loves because they are alive; the world hates they are dead.
To love is to live; to hate is to die
Lovers are living men; haters are dead men
Love is the Great Enlightenment; hate is the Great Darkness.
The Mutant lives in the Age of Enlightenment; the world lives in the Dark Age.
Love the Light; hate the dark.
To love is to know; to hate, is to not know.
To love is to know God; to hate is to not know God.
Knowledge is the Love maturity, this is the Christian maturity, and this is also the very core of God, the Bible and who He is.
For me, enlightenment is when you know enough to put your life in the line for another without them even knowing it, let alone reciprocating the gesture- this is not rocket science, is it?. On the other hand, when the best you know is how best to have your way and feel important without anyone (including yourself) ever knowing it, let alone reciprocating the “kind” gesture, then you are in the Dark Age- sorry.

EverydayJesus is You!(An Update)
Blessed are the merciful, for they would be shown mercy. –Matthew 5: 7(NIV).
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and do not pay attention to the plank in your own eye? –Matthew 7: 1-3(NIV).
That’s my Jesus. Do you hear Him using the words of a carpenter? He sure was one!
The Sermon on the Mount recorded in the Bible is so huge for me. I told my Jesus that I wanted to understand them and ever since, He has been breaking them down for me bit by bit. He started with the issue of love, mercy.
Every time we expect people to understand us and everything about how we choose to do our things. For instance, when I make a mistake or fail to do what I am supposed to do I just expect to be understood and not misunderstood. Jesus made me to understand that I should show people around me love and kindness by just trying to understand them- their hearts, whether they are right or wrong. This is love and that is mercy. If someone messes ups my kitchen, Jesus wants me to understand and sympathize with the fact that they do not know a better way to do it or that they are not just me who have a special way of keeping my kitchen. I don’t have to be mad at them. God puts up with me and I should do the same for my neighbor.
I don’t have to condemn even if I am condemned. Understanding is mercy, mercy is not judging.
While I was just taking in what my Jesus was saying to me as I went on with my activity, I discovered that there were and there are still things in me that people may not find acceptable. I love home making for instance and I savor every moment of it. And as a microbiologist I love my home to be maximally germ free and not just squeaky clean. One day, I was slow while trying to enjoy my home making and yet do it ‘microbiologically’. That day He was teaching me about mercy, I did just little in 8 hours- they were almost perfectly done though. I couldn’t finish and I had an appointment to meet up with so I needed my sister’s help. I asked for it, she complained and my brother felt that I was just being unfair. It was then that he told me bluntly that he didn’t see what I had been doing all the while. I tried explaining but I had to rush out nonetheless. I felt sad but surprisingly I decided to understand that my brother was right to misunderstand me although he sounded insensitive. So I kept my temper in check and agreed sincerely that I was slow. Later that day, my Jesus reassured me and told me by His Spirit that He understood me just as I chose to understand the supposed unkindness of my brother’s judgment. I was merciful even when I was not shown mercy, this is love, and this is Christianity. Whenever I fail to see peoples’ opinions and views from their very own eyes, then I am simply being unmerciful, unloving, and ‘unchristian’. I knew Jesus watched all that happened that day, and that He was even with me while I did the home that day. When I was a little careless with my time and was even misunderstood for it, he ceased the opportunity to let me learn practically what mercy, love and Christianity was all about. He reminded me that time is a talent and that He gave it to us equally and that He expects me to use it well. He is teaching me how anyways. He is my helper.
If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice; you would not have condemned the innocent. –Matthew 12: 7(NIV).
