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

EVERYDAY JESUS – DAMSEL IN DISTRESS
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,

EverydayJesus’ ‘How to be Happy!’
Happiness can only be found within Love!
Love is God and God is Love.
Receive wholeheartedly, the love of the Father;
Bask in that love for yourself
Accept yourself in His gracious redeeming love, you’ll end up accepting others too
And you’ll be happy all along!
Happiness may be a rested acceptance and enjoyment of providence
The surest way I know to Rest, is in accepting the acquittal of the only Just One, He who makes men right in His own eyes;
In allowing His forgiving Love on yourself first, others may receive from you, willingly given
And you sure will be happy all the way!
Happiness is Rest and trust!
If you are not able to simply believe and see the Father’s Love from your heart’s eye;
You might never catch a glimpse of happiness, as you run in your fervent pursuit of happiness
You might never receive His Rest for sure!

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 is pro active!
One of my personal heroes is my Dad. Now he might not be perfect and yes he does not scale buildings, shoot webs from his palm or even wear a cape but from him I have learnt a bunch which has been key in my formation as a man. One of the main lessons I learnt just by observing him is how he tends to act ahead of time. Rather than dealing with a problem, Dad would prefer to forestall the problem. This doesn’t mean he would chicken out if a problem showed up but I think he figured it would be a lot cheaper and less stressful and ever more effective to prevent the problem. Guess what? He is right!
Looking through the scriptures, I see my Jesus would meet up with problems and solve them, but more importantly his words and actions pointed to a pro-active character, just like God-the-father. I mean isn’t it obvious that Christ died many years ago to save a world that would burn many years later. His mission in totality is pro-active. More so, if you looked through the scripture in search of guidance or instruction or have learned to listen to that sweet small voice of the lovely Holy Spirit you would agree with me that God is in the habit of directing us through actions that would seem pointless now but would mean the world in the future.
There are so many stories that I could give of present day events just like the story of Jeremiah’s instruction of God to buy a certain plot of land and collect the title deed and bury somewhere which was later used in recent times to settle a land dispute amongst nations. Crazy, right? However, here is a claim that this line of thought doesn’t agree with: “Experience is the best teacher”. Well, I think Jesus would disagree because discipline would pay better and guess what you never have to carry scars that way!
So be like Jesus. Be pro-active
Grace.
