I'm what you may call a jack of 'many trades' but as I continually take this beautiful walk with Jesus I know I'm transformed into the perfect image of who I'm supposed to be. A SON OF GOD
Everyday Jesus – Sunday (A poem)
Hello sunday
So soon
Here you are again
You evade our hearts
With some kind of feeling
“Go to church”
Blimey, sunday
A little observation
Men! Yes human beings
Most of them aren’t sincere
Whenever they see you
They adjust, and re-adjust to be called the just.
We are pretenders, offenders
We carry the bible on your evasion
Just to claim timed salvation
Poor decision, poor innovation
Listen sunday
There is a lot going on
Disgusting things.
On sunday, is when my fellas will carry their bible to read
Or even loud their stereo, listening to christian songs
Or even raise their voices, singing to be noticed.
O sunday, what have you brought on us?
Sunday, maybe I am the one getting this tough, so rough
Maybe it is not your fault
It is a default thing
Men invented it
We allowed the busy scene of life to get us carried away
Or you caused it?
Nooooo, not you
Nooooo, Not us
Ooooooooooooohhh!
I think it’s us
We are lazy
Lazy to face the facts
Enemies of ourselves
We are always carried away
Away, like a sheep.
Sunday, maybe it is not us
Maybe it is us…
Sunday, it is us…

Penspeak 2017: The Definition
There are so many ways to tell this story, but looking back now, I am so glad I lived it.
When a man meets a good idea, he knows he is set for a world of benefits but when a man meets a God idea, he knows, it will only take God to accomplish it. Penspeak was borne for the writer and his audience, a time to experience the sweet romance between words and the message they carry, between the dexterity of the pen and the Spirit from which it flows. It is a time envisioned to cause a definite change to birth something new or revive what is dying; One stage, One mic, One Spirit and for those glorious hours, nothing else matters but the truth and it sure does set one free.
Every year it has been a blessing to the team and the audience of Nsukka to see what God can do with what an untrained mind would call “mere words”, yet again in less than a month we are yet to experience much more, inexplicably more what God is set to wrought through this massive vision. To say in specific words what one could expect is to belittle the awe, God is preparing for the expectant heart, so I am going to just say this…
Keep your eyes and ears peeled for details
Cause they are coming…
And when they do, be kind enough to tell a friend, any friend
Because one thing is certain
There is no way any one would leave that hall without a specific blessing
Grace.

EverydayJesus – The Mirror
The Bible does not help to point out to us our faults and imperfections so that we may correct or change them, contrary to what many people believe.
The Bible (mirror) on the contrary, helps us to constantly see ourselves for who our Father God sees us. He see us perfect people in Christ, without blame and Spirit born, a.k.a eternally made of Love!
The Mirror is therefore our constant reminder of our realities in Christ so that we can be quickened in our mortal bodies to act accordingly.
Our spirits are whole, complete and mature in Christ but our minds would never agree because they know very little.
We are ourselves spirits, because man is essentially a spirit.
If I choose to call our spirits lions, then I would simply say that our minds are kittens, not even a cub.
What we know in our minds usually influence our works or doings, and most times, our minds make us produce kitten( lower) behaviors as opposed to the lion (higher) works that belong with our spirits, our hearts.
Therefore, whenever we look into the word, we force our kitten minds to see the lion spirits we truly are. This makes us to act accordingly. The mirror principle works by helping us to constantly keep in touch with our most basic realities in the presence of the Father’s redeeming love.
You might ask why our minds love to be kittens. I’d just tell you that our mind is the faculty in our hearts that relates directly with the physical or natural realms via the portals of the five senses. That’s why.
The thing is, if your acts are wrong and you feel like you are not a fruitful Christian, here is what you would want to do:
- Go Receive the Father’s Loving-thing parcel, a.k.a the too good to be true news, the Gospel.
- Look in the word, the mirror; I repeat look in the mirror.
- Look in the mirror again for that’s the true legit thing you’ve got, I repeat, look away from yourself!
18 And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18. AMP
…Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and , after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like…
James 1: 23-24, NIV
