I AM CHRIST

Leave a comment

I saw Christ sometime ago in England
Man was on a well cut designers suit
His cuff links and kerchief suits
The accentuation of the rich fabric soothes
He was slick and sharp looking
Shoes glittered like tiny stars in the heavenlies
A perfect match for his suave manners.

I saw Christ some time ago in Detroit
He was on denim jeans and a large polo
His shoes brought hallelujah to my lips
Casual sneakers with canvas toes cap
With sequin detail and metal stud trim
His watch of course was blings blinking
Perfect for a street preacher

I saw Christ sometime ago in Nigeria
He was on blemish free agbada
Distinctively wide shouldered gown
Flowing in dignity
With each raise of the hand comes style
His cap pointed at the apex with base V-shaped
Perfect for incarnating the spirit into folk’s lives

I met Christ sometime ago in Congo
He was hungry and tired
His stomach was the size of a pregnant lass
His neck was the size of the giraffe’s
Although black his skin was transparent
His large eyes sunken and moist
His hair curly from unkemptness

I am Christ
I wouldn’t join my body with a slut
‘cause that’s breath-choking illegal
I wouldn’t be caught wearing pieces and strands
‘cause that’s heart-wrecking erroneous
Fallacies will be far away from my lips
Swear words, coarse and dirty jokes alike
‘cause my words are life and double edged
I wouldn’t be caught nodding on Drake’s beats
Nor twisting to Beyounce’s tunes
My playlist would have nothing to do with Trey songs
‘cause I live only to glorify God and impact positively.

I am Christ
I live with that consciousness
So I eat like Christ would , silently
I speak like Christ would, deeply
I act like Christ would, graciously
I smile like Christ would, amazingly
I dance like Christ would, stylishly
I preach like Christ would, radically
I love like Christ would, unconditionally
I share in Christ’s suffering , steadfastly

OK….Am I going to say that its bad to think?

Of course not!

But what is the gain of wishful thinking? What is the gain of worrying over situation that you can’t help or change?

When JESUS said “Do not worry about your life…” (Matthew6:25), He meant it!

It doesn’t sound like a plea or a request, its a command.

You have to make deliberate conscious effort to stop worrying whenever it comes. Just tell yourself the truth, you can’t do anything about the situation, all you have to do is pray and relax in God’s love.

This Almighty, most high God loves you very much!

HE loves you more than anyone could ever love you.

HE is the owner of your past, present and future.

As long as you have been reconciled to Him through Jesus, you are now His own. And He says;
“I will not leave you nor forsake you..” (Joshua1:5)

“Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love;” (Jeremiah31:3)

“The very hairs of your head are all numbered, you are of more value than many sparrows..”(Matthew10:30,31)

“For I am conscious of my thoughts about you, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a hope at the end.”(Jeremiah 29:11)

God is not about to write your purpose on earth, NO! He has already written it.

He knew you before you were born.

He knows the things that belongs to you and the ones that doesn’t.

He has your life’s plan mapped out on His palms….And guess what? Its a good plan! (Jeremiah29:11).

So relax. Pray without ceasing. Rest your whole being in His will and plan, take no thoughts at all because “He will make all things beautiful in His time”. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
