EVERYDAYJESUS’ ‘Reminisce, 02,’017!

It is day 27, and it is February too!

So I thought to myself, ‘February’s been awesome, and I think Jesus awed some, every day of it’.

Then, I picked up my journal, I started taking stock, down memory lane, for I can beat my chest that I have beautiful memories to reminisce. It has always been Jesus every day, and that’s why we must keep this pen, bleeding everything Jesus, everyday!

So, we shall be placing a cherry to our ice cream sundae, reminisce is the word, and I bet it’s juicy!

I’d be picking my favorite EVERYDAYJESUS’ pieces, and in at most two sentences, I’d turn it into a juicy red cherry for you to enjoy, and I’d sit back and I’d watch you give us your own cherry!

Remember, Reminisce is the word, and cherry is the idea! Translation, I’d summarize a piece, and my summary has to be as juicy as a cherry, okay? Neat!

 

EverydayJesus is ‘loving-fierce’, so fiery intense, yet He isn’t ‘Sasha’!

 

EverydayJesus is proactive, He’s got you all planned out; way better than the ‘hero daddy’ could do!

 

EverydayJesus is ‘loving-pieces’ and He’s got no ‘pieces’ broken heart to offer; translation, feel free, be happy!

EverydayJesus sees through anything and everything because, we really are not fans of the pirate, ‘hook’; we never toast with the punch, ‘line’, and we have never batted an eyelid for the lady, ‘sinker’!

 

EverydayJesus is ‘loving-slow’, because we don’t do ‘fast and furious’ all the time; Translation, we are ‘loving-thing’ slow to speak, slow to wrath, and yes, quick to hear!

Here’s what I want you to do:

EVERYDAYJESUS’ more than a pearl!

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. –Matthew 13: 44-46 (NIV).

Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted by much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.” And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. “But one thing is needed and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken from her.” –Luke 10: 38-42(NKJV).

You cannot find a treasure by accident. You just have to be looking for it in order to find it. You just need to either mine or look.

Mary of Bethany, the sister of Martha and Lazarus found Him and not only listened to Him but also anointed Him with fragrant oil.

Jesus is my precious pearl, He is my treasure. He is my everything. I found Him when my heart was empty. All that I knew how to do was; sin and cry ‘void’. Mary Magdalene found Him and the richness of His person and broke her alabaster box of fragrant oil. She was just ever following Him, listening to Him and helping Him with her substance. The day that He was crucified she also followed Him and must have been crying ‘my LORD’, when He was crucified and buried she followed to see where they laid Him so that she would attend His body. When He rose she was the first to find out, when she didn’t find Him she cried “where have they kept my LORD?”

I never knew the beauty in Mary and my Jesus’ relationship until my Jesus started one with me. My Jesus has saved me from the power of sin and the devil. I am free to love and live. I am glad that I am alive! He is Mary’s precious one and He is mine too- my only Pearl.

“Ask and it will be given too you; seek, and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. –Matthew: 7-8(NKJV).

EVERYDAYJESUS’ Rest! (an Update)

In John 3:5, Jesus answered, “ I tell you the truth, no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit .( Please note that any time and every time the word SPIRIT begins with a capital letter then the Bible is simply talking of the Holy Spirit. On the other hand, if you see SPIRIT begin with a small letter, then what is been referred to is the human spirit or any other spirit. Different translators of the English Bible use capital letters to distinguish things pertaining to God- like ‘Word’ of God begins with a block letter while ‘word’ of man small letter).

Also in Hebrew 4: 9, the writer of the book wrote by the inspiration of the Spirit thus:

There remains then a Sabbath rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from his work, just as God did from His. Let us therefore make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience (please read that book for yourself, I mean you have it don’t you?!)

Could God’s rest be His Kingdom or is His rest contained in His Kingdom?

Mutant Matthew wrote the exact Words of Jesus in his book: “but seek ye first The Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you. Matthew 6: 33. By ‘these things’ he was talking about the usual things that bother humans and other living things. And please what is even this whole righteousness thing ‘God’s righteousness’ all about? Do I have to continue trying my best so that God would approve of me? Let us take a peek into the Bible.

Romans 3: 10 “ There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God… so this means that my best or my righteousness isn’t good enough, in fact ‘some’ Scripture calls it ‘filthy rag’. Now from verse 21, “but now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believed. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus”

Also in Romans 5: 17: For if, by the trespass of the one man(Adam), death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the obedience of the one man(Jesus, second Adam) the many will be made righteous.

In mathematical terms, let us do some simple substitutions:

If The Kingdom of God =/ God’s rest/ Rest of God,

And

If Grace = God’s gift of righteousness

Matthew 6: 33 =

But seek ye first the rest of God and accept His Grace and all these things will be given to you

Also   =

“But the first thing you should do is to enter God’s rest and accept His grace which is simply by believing, then all those things that bothers an average human being would just come as a mere consequence”.

It is established that we enter God’s Kingdom or Rest by faith.

NB: the symbol ‘=’ means ‘equal to’, /, means ‘or’, means ‘equivalent to’, and means ‘this implies that’.

 

Finally, Jesus called out in Matthew 11: 28 (MSG):

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me- watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythm of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill- fitting on you. Keep Company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly”.

Jesus promises a life free from the works and struggles of life and religion. However, the only work required from God is in John 6: 29:

Jesus answered “the work of God is this, to believe in the one He has sent” (NIV)

What an easy yoke, GLORY!

EVERYDAYJESUS’ Mutation Story!

Mutation is a miracle

Mutation is simply any change or alteration in the DNA sequence of any living thing. Each DNA strand of any living thing is made up of genes that code for special characteristics in individuals.

The expression of this genes come in the form of proteins (polypeptides). Pour exemplum, I have characteristic brown eyes because I have a gene in my DNA that codes for the protein responsible for expressing itself as the brown eyes you can see.

Hence gene expression follows a central dogma that DNA makes mRNA which in turn makes protein (please leave out the concept of mRNA, I don’t want you confused). This basic principle is what we call the Central Dogma of molecular biology, which we employ and apply in Genetic Engineering.( This is a core field of Microbiology, so chill and trust me to walk you through a process of understanding a supernatural truth using natural principles- that is my area of discipline okay?)

Back to where we started from:

Mutation is any change or alteration in the DNA sequence of any living thing. Nevertheless, natural things are not very strong to explain supernatural things because our knowledge is always not complete, we know in part.

In genetic engineering, we have an area called Recombinant DNA technology (chill it is as simple as yawning okay?). Recombinant DNA technology involves splicing (cutting) and sticking a gene (segment of a DNA strand) into another totally different DNA strand. This is done so that the new DNA strand containing the foreign but desired gene would begin to express itself as a form of protein responsible for something like hazelnut colored hair, tallness, shortness, a shade of skin fairness etc. in technical terms (please chill), the most common example is the production of insulin by the bacteria Escherichia coli. Insulin is a hormone (protein) produced by humans but this DNA technology enables the genetic engineer to cut out (splice) the gene responsible for the hormone (protein), and stick it into the DNA of the E.coli. The essence of involving the bacteria in the whole engineering process is because E.coli can really produce (express the gene) in a large quantity so that they can be sold to those who need it but are insulin deficient. In this example the E. coli is the mutant and not the sick people.

Now let’s fix this whole jargon into something meaningful.

The Father wanted genetic expression (fruit bearing) that belonged to His nature, so He put His Gene (His Spirit) into our DNA (our human spirits) so that we may become His mutants, SOMETHING NEW (as mutant Niel would say). We are mutants by faith in His son. He carried out this DNA technology so that mutants can express His Gene naturally. I call it the mutant expression of the Spirit, the Gene of the Most High.

You can therefore now say that the fruit (expression) of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control….Galatians 5: 22

This expression or fruit is what you may call the protein coded for, by the Gene of God, i.e. the Spirit of God in the mutated human spirit.

Mutants got mutated by just believing and receiving the finished work. The ultimate idea behind this ultimate mutation story or the ultimate genetic engineering is because God wanted to create people (mutants) who would just be Jesus. He wanted to do a form of cloning.

“For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many bothers”- Romans 8: 29(NIV)

Mutants are God’s dream come true- having family members with the family Gene. Mutant Paul also went further to tell the mutants in Ephesus in Ephesian 4: 24 that they were created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Jesus was the picture behind the mutation story. He is the first born among many mutants. Mutants are Gods and men all in one- this is a miracle!

Mutants are perfect Jesus clones expressing the Gene in many and diverse dimensions of the Spirit. Glory! Mutants belong to a family where Jesus is the first born, and we have the same daddy as Jesus. We are just as Jesus is. Mutants are the members of God’s family because He that makes holy and they that are made holy are of the same family. Mutants cannot sin because the gene that codes for sin has been removed and replaced with the Spirit Gene. Hebrew 8: 10-12

By the way, the Gene makes holy. Mutants are holy. Mutants are righteous, mutants dominate, mutants manifest. The ultimate mutation by the ultimate genetic engineer is the ultimate miracle! This is the ultimate mutation story.

EVERYDAYJESUS is how we roll!

Mutants are not miserly because their trust issues have been dealt with.

Mutants do very little, they have Faith.

Everything mutants do in the Kingdom is Faith- that is how we ‘roll’

Mutants speak Love- that is how we express ourselves.

Mutants are always at ease- it is a trust thing you know.

Mutants have all that they need- they receive them daily the mutant way.

Mutants DO nothing because everything has been DONE.

Mutants only have to carry their little bags Faith, about in the Kingdom.

Mutants carry their little bags by just expressing themselves through the mutant father-tongue, so you see why we are always at ease. Hmmm Cool!

The more mutants speak, the more they are transformed, transformed to be like Christ- this is the ultimate reason for the mutation!

Mutants never die, they have already died at the cross where Jesus died and rose when He did just by believing.

If the son of snake is a snake, then the son of God is a God- it’s simple ‘Mathegenetics’!

Mutants are sons of God because Jesus is Son of Man- ‘mathegenetically’ speaking!

Mutants like Jesus, are totally God, totally Man! He is our big brother the Bible says

Mutants are the supernatural beings that I call Theo-Sapiens.

Mutants cannot sin because the gene that codes for sin has been spliced off and replaced with Spirit Gene.

EVERYDAYJESUS’ ‘nomo’ phobias!

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’ Omnipotent-Save- the Day!

One of the things I hate is someone forcing me to change plans for no good reasons.

I don’t like it when I am midway making egusi soup, someone would start saying things that sound like Akamu, or Afang; or maybe when I go ‘akamu’ because we had decided upon it together, then the same person starts speaking of me going ‘okpa’. I know that okpa and akamu are so good together but I hope you just get my drift.

You know one of the things that Father taught me using my Mamy, is to always make room for any sudden change in plans, because she’d always make that happen whether we both like it or not.

Have you ever thought of the implications of this Name of God, Omnipotent?

For me, I’d say that Father cannot only do all things, but He also has infinite ways of doing the same thing.

So how has this become helpful to me?

You know, when you make mistakes and screw up, you really see how Father can turn your mistakes around. He does that so that He can still achieve an elegant end of the story for you in such a way that you might even start thinking that Father intended originally that things go wrong for ‘His Glory’.

Truth is, Father does not do evil, and He would never do it in order to bring any good out of it. Father would never orchestrate or pioneer any bad thing, and He would never partner with the ‘family enemy’ to bring about any of those, NEVER! Father does not like it even when we make mistakes and change His plans for us but the better truth is that Father is never afraid of handling the worst terrible situations, you know why?

He is Omnipotent-Save-the Day! He knows just how to change plans in a snazzy, elegant and effective fashion!

Therefore, when people around me are busy changing the order of my ‘to do list’ and messing up with my plans like it’s their rights, I’d refuse to freak out like one impossible Zuma rock that never bulges.

I’ve learned to smile in Love, breathe for someone ( I mean, take a deep breath), roll up my sleeves, and show the situation how much I am made of the same stuff as my Abba Daddy, the Omnipotent-Save-the Day Himself! (Winks).

Consider it pure joy my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

…blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him. When tempted, no one should say “God is tempting me”. For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt any one…

Don’t be deceived, my brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows (aka, he does not have mood swings). He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created.- James 1 : 1-18 (NIV).
