EVERYDAYJESUS’ 100% woman(an update)!

2 Comments

I don’t just like the pictures that the movie industries paint on the single and whole woman, Nollywood for one, I am not saying that Hollywood is doing any better, but then what can I say? Well, don’t bother asking me to quit judging and show my own stuff, because that is my very objective in engaging you in this ‘slipper talk’ in the first place. So, let me do my thing, the ‘me’ pro way.

MY WHOLE WOMAN
Favouromeje, 0’16

Dedicated to every man and woman who has accepted a poorly done portrait by a ‘six months old professional artist’, cooing in a daycare and peeing into his nappy, and who is unfortunately planning to give such a piece to his/her beloved for a present.
“You might prefer a masterpiece done by an artist trained in the right use of paints and brushes- the Word, over that of an artist who paints with poop, wee, and a tit-drag of inspiration from the content of a milk bottle”
My whole woman is not made whole and complete simply because she has a high tech well-paying job, a good ride, a pretty-as-she apartment, a fleet of interested males, a major Adekunle Gold giving her the Sade attention, a beautiful skin and always groomed hair, a strong clique of friends and of course a little dash of sass-mercy me! And oh, I forgot to add ‘plus a good spiritual life’!
My whole woman is not made whole by the things she has, but by the very stuff she is made of.
Mathematically speaking,
0.1 + 0.2 + 0.3 + 0.4 ≠ 1;
1=1. Period!
My whole woman is not made whole by the job she does, but on the contrary, her job is made whole simply because she is the one doing it. Similarly, she never receives her value from anything however huge, but she confers value on anything however small, as long as she has laid her hands on it. The same thing goes to anything car you find her riding.
Her apartment need not be large or fancy, but you can be guaranteed that she is the only one who is able to turn a man’s little corner into a castle without having to change its dimensions. Her amorous presence, and gracious touches would do much more magic than all that the best home makeover artists could offer you. And while she is doing that, you will come to realize and enjoy your own royal kingdom, where she is both your queen and your most loyal subject from the comfort of your humble place turned palace.
My whole woman does not need a Wilton cake lift or turn table in order to prove her kitchen elegance but if Wilton hands her one, she’d teach him how to use it!
She may or may not have a great band of interested males but just know that either way, she hardly ever notices because she is so taken by her Father’s business.
She need not run her relationships from the desk of any clique but you must bear in mind that if you ever come her way as a woman, you’ll walk by with a gem lesson to live by, and if you decide to be a man the day you came her way, then you’ll never have to forget the positive and right perspectives she would evoke, plus a good bite of encouragement to chew on as you till the ground. And if you were little the day you came her way, you’ll have a treasured seed to spend your days growing and eating from. And if you were her Abba Daddy, then you’ll know that she is the worship, and the son you’ve sort for from the beginning.
My whole woman doesn’t merely have a spiritual life unfortunately, but she lives the Spirit life, the love life coded for by the Spirit Gene. She is the 100% woman, the Theo-Sapiens woman, totally God, totally man.
My whole woman is therefore that woman who is, who knows that she is 100% God 100% man, and who allows this truth to be beneficial to both herself and the people who come her way every day.

EVERYDAYJESUS is our clarity too (a review)!

Leave a comment

Let’s study a bit
Take what we have known and put them in perspective of the whole bible and see what we find
Let’s start from the beginning.
And when I say ‘beginning’ I mean Genesis
Let’s start from ‘Moses’
There are thoughts which should have come to your mind if you read the bible and if they haven’t, let me bring them
Moses was born in Exodus 2.
But he wrote the book of Genesis?
You would be careful in reading the things that he wrote happened before Abraham and especially before NOAH.
Then we think most of the things he wrote were by inspiration and he wrote to his understanding…..We believe Moses wrote Genesis to Deuteronomy but I saw Deuteronomy 34:5-6
5…Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.
6. And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab……….
Was that by inspiration too?
The only explanation is that someone else wrote that Book. But then, studies in the Old Testament show us that other parts of the Torah or Pentateuch are stylistically inconsistent. For example, have you noticed that there are two creation accounts? And they are not like the accounts of the gospels. The gospels as you know, even with differences, often say the same thing. So while in Mark, Jesus could do no mighty works in a certain place, in Matthew Jesus could also do no mighty works in the same place.
But in Genesis, we see God makes male and female in Chapter 1 but makes a male alone at first in Chapter 2 before a woman. Jesus even quotes this passage Matthew 19 and Mark 10. If Moses was
operating under inspiration, would the inspirer contradict himself or would Moses, writing, not notice his own inconsistencies?
Yet for me the most compelling proof against the authorship of Moses is the fact that the Pentateuch is written in Third person. Why would I refer to myself in third person when writing about myself?
Other examples can be found in Amos, Hosea and Isaiah (amongst others) of prophets whose ministry was documented by other people. It doesn’t reduce the authenticity or audacity of the books or the prophets. Ezekiel is the only Major Prophet that wrote by himself, and it can be seen in his style. He writes in first person perspective. It’s very simple.
Now, a lot of Christians believe the curse at the end of Revelation will apply to them if they dare think through scripture like this. So they’d rather let some pastor take the blame while they blindly follow him. It’s OK…
However, the curse in Revelation can only apply to the book of Revelation since the Bible was not compiled by then. With knowledge like this, we can better understand the anachronisms and variations in the Pentateuch.
In Mark 5, Jesus says Moses was talking about him; that is to say, Moses is reported as saying things which actually were about him, Jesus.
Study for yourself… Dig into the Old Testament… Because EVERDAYJESUS is our clarity too.

EVERYDAYJESUS and my hairs! (An update)

Leave a comment

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)

Leave a comment

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)

Leave a comment

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.

1 John 2,3&4.

 

 

 

 

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).
