EVERYDAY JESUS – DAMSEL IN DISTRESS

Leave a comment

09/2/17

Dearest Damsel in Distress,

I hope that this note does not leave you without help, having found you in distress.

I have come to learn by experience, how bleak a future could be when you cannot see any lights at the end of the tunnel.

Oh DD, I am at that tunnel right now, it feels as though my cloud is night and I dare say that I have not found any silver linings yet, it’s so really dark in here!

DD, I really cannot tell you that I know how I got in here, or my way out of here; and the blanket thick darkness in this tunnel is so smoldering yet I am unshielded from the ice cold in here.  Maybe they are even hot ice, I really cannot tell.

You know Damsel in Distress, the only clue that I have is to simply cry because I really just cannot help it.

I have a lot of hope, and I have some faith too but I guess I don’t have any answers at all in my supplies – in fact, I got lost in here with nothing in my convenient pack!

Nevertheless DD, I would want to share with you, a few of my little things – some of the strengths that the LORD is giving me here!

I do not know how my help out of here will come, but I know too well that the LORD has helped me by His Spirit. I have chosen to hang on to His grace because His mercy is all that I have to hang on to. Sometimes, the rain beats me so hard, the ocean tries to drown me, the fire burns with smoldering smoke with me buried-stuck inside, and the mountains don’t even let me have the luxury of a little air to breathe.

But do you know what DD, I can never be consumed! I have not found that in my Bible, it’s not about here being too dark to see; the Spirit is my inner witness!

I mourn but I am blessed daily by the LORD’s comforting Spirit. I know that my pain would all go away someday because I know that it is well with my soul. I know that even if everything choses to remain dead hopeless, I’ll live through it all.

One thing I know for sure is that my problems are not pioneered by God but I know that He will hijack the situation to beautify me even more, my “sisterly” Ubamara calls that ‘Make up’!

Therefore DD, because I know that beauty is my sorrow’s end, and spiritual endurance is my heart’s fate, I have chosen to hang on because I BELIEVE! And because I believe, I am going to show myself that I believe.

I am going to grab a pale from time to time, and I’d soak my feet ready for some generous pedicure. I have chosen to take my bath times more seriously because I have promised myself to savor every single bit of it, even my lotion times too! I am never going to forget to wear myself some beautiful makeups every single morning. I am never going to forget to eat good food, no junks! And I am really going to be walking in here with some self-respect. I would never forget to keep myself hydrated because I need to look beautiful for my beautiful end. Who wants to look like a mess at red carpet entry? Not me, most def! You wouldn’t want to DD because our end is fairer than any Grammy red carpet’s euphoria, trust me!

 

Damsel in Distress,

Favour Omeje.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EverydayJesus’ loving-thing tips!

Leave a comment
  1. All of us humans need love; smile to the grumpiest old pregnant pit-bull in a human body-sincerely, and he or she would smile back sincerely, even if he or she had lost the gene that codes for smiling for the past 20 centuries. Just try it!
  2. Everyone needs to be heard out especially when we all know that there is a major misunderstanding. So, make up your mind to stop making your point until you are sure that you have gotten your brother’s points in black and white!
  3. If you think that you are such an old idiot, just go get yourself some good ice cream but make sure you don’t go to bed at night without understanding where exactly you missed it because you might need the knowledge some day!
  4. If you are so angry, just shut up because you really are not that angry, trust me!
  5. But if you are having a problem getting this tips, just go and get some Jesus’ Loving-thing parcel, that would be the best point to start from in this loving-thing that we are doing.

Nevertheless, I want you to know that God is not mad at you, because it would be an injustice to you if He does. God is Just!

Thanks

P.S. if you have no idea how to pick the loving-thing parcel, just holla me at favyaura@gmail.com.

Um, what do you usually see when you sit back with a bowl of popcorn or ice cream ( if you have the ice cream love genetic code in your DNA like me), to watch your favorite actor do his or her thing?

What do you usually see whenever you watch the news? Do you ever get to see something that nobody else ever gets to notice?

How about if you decide to do a little zee world with your mum, at least to make feel you care enough to enjoy what she enjoys? Do you finally enjoy it without feeling like you are seeing some wolf in sheep clothing?

Alright, what about ‘the now’ hit song? How about Nickelodeon, do you see the what I think I see when I watch even my own very favorite little man SpongeBob SquarePant, as innocent as the story is?

How about you decide to lock up yourself and live in the church so that you’d be ‘uncontaminated’ by the world? Do you ever notice something uncanny in some sermon that is making almost everyone else to scream, ‘well done sah’!

Do you ever get to notice how some of the things that your favorite people say, may not be true in the eternal scheme of things?

You know, I think that devil is way smarter than the homo-sapiens with the highest IQ. c’mon, man is made a little lower than angels but I thank God that a Theo- Sapiens would ‘dust’ him crazy any day, any time because he is a God!

The truth is that until Jesus comes, devil would remain the god of this world and he rules the world knowledge and information that look simple, harmless and 100% untrue! Lucifer can lie for Mandela, to say the very least!

Sometimes, things are not always what they seem. So, we Theo-sapiens must never allow to mingle with information from any source whatsoever, until they are well tested and proved. We do not take things hook line and sinker unless we have an inner witness by the Spirit. You know it is the Spirit that makes us superior to the devil and his world. We have power over him because we operate from a different system from his. You know how

I urge us therefore, to always remember that we are too superior to flow totally with the information that has saturated the world we live in! Screen please, literally!

Test every spirit, oh puhleez!

EVERYDAYJESUS is how we roll!

Leave a comment

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!

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 does good!

Acts 10 verse 38 says, and you no doubt know that Jesus of Nazareth was appointed by God with the Holy Spirit and with power, and he went around doing good and healing all who were possessed by demons, for God was with him.

 

I read the above scripture this morning, and I realized something that I consider profound. All of us who are believers, meet the implied conditions for DOING GOOD AND HEALING ALL WHO ARE POSSESSED BY DEMONS. We have the Holy Ghost and power, because God is with us. That was all Jesus needed to do good, including heal. That is all we need. Let’s start already. How? Believe and speak, believing. There really is nothing else to do. Speak, believing. That’s what the word teaches. And whether or not our intended good, works out according to our mind’s design, all the glory goes to God. You’re just expressing a life, you see. That life is Christ, the same life that has been given to you.

 

So step out of your shell today. Wherever you see that good needs to be done, do the good. Speak life to situations. Speak Christ. That’s the least you can do. Sometimes, maybe, the most.

EverydayJesus can figure it out!

So on this particular day, I was to help my mum get to her car and to work as quickly as possible. As is our culture, just before she started the car I lifted the hood of the car to check the water and oil levels and refill if necessary. As I concluded this very easy task, I hesitated for a moment before I shut the hood and just stared at the engine and in that moment I noticed how confused I was at the complexity of a car’s engine. Sure I knew the names of one two things and maybe I could guess the functionality of a handful of some of them but on the whole, I was just clueless.

 

Before long mum joined me at where I stood looking at the engine, a perplexed look on her face. I smiled. I quickly shared my mind’s rumblings

 

“You know if a mechanical engineer were here he would know what he was looking at when a car’s hood popped not like confused little me but if I were to open my editing soft wares for that engineer he would be as confused too”(paraphrased)

 

I guess I added that bit about my soft wares to boost my self-confidence but as mum zoomed off to work, the thought lingered and I have now come to this conclusion…

 

Sometimes we take a look at our lives: Who we were, who we are and who we could be and we indeed get confused. We end up with questions like…

 

How did I get here?

Can I really achieve my dreams?

Would I live to see tomorrow?

Does my life mean anything?

What is the point in living?

 

Amongst many other mind-boggling questions…

 

As real and valid these questions are, I have good news. JESUS has got the answer. Is it because he is as much God as God is? Well, probably yes, but even more; because he is the engineer, specialist, professional that knows all there is to know about you, down to the number of hairs on your head.

 

So when he looks at all the events, people, memories, emotions, wishes and all that makes up the totality of you, he doesn’t get confused. In fact he knows everything and if you let him he can figure out the answers to those questions you have. Just like you take your car to the mechanic for repair, taking your life to Jesus is what you need to live free and happy and blessed every day. I guess that’s why they call “giving your life to Christ” although in the real sense it is him, Jesus that gave his life for you.

 

So for no charges at all, get your problems sorted out and your questions answered because every day Jesus figures it out.

“…But the very hairs of your head are all numbered”- Matthew 10:30(KJV)
