Our Inadequate Five Senses

If God says no to something, He means no! If someone says yes to what God says no to, that makes them a rebel. A rebel is an enemy of God, because a house divided against itself will not stand. If you are in agreement with an enemy of God, what does that make you?

All in the name of tolerance, what God has called an abomination, we call it divergent views! Our rationalizations can never make us right and God wrong. We make excuses for everything, just to make it right in out own eyes. What a pity!

God does not mince words when it comes to sin, He is unequivocal in stating His absolute intolerance for sin. In the same vein, He is crystal clear on the magnanimity of His love for us all. Since there is no one that deserves or has the right to God's Love, it makes us all Sinners who have been showered with boundless love by a Father who longs to fellowship with us once again.

Back to the previous, what we call civilization is turning out to be our greatest undoing yet. We humans are essentially selfish and we cannot truly love another selflessly unless we have experienced such selfless love ourselves by surrendering our lives to Jesus Christ.

As long as there is sin in the world, there will always be wars, famines, diseases, floods, name it, because the devil has perverted most of God's creation. We humans have this magnificent gift from God- Free Will. We have the power to choose what we believe and who we submit to.

It so happens that we often base our choices on empirical evidence which means what we can see, feel, touch, smell and hear. This gives room for deception because reality and fiction are subjective when the parameters for measuring are not reliable.

Feelings are volatile, they are here now and gone the next moment. That is why we experience mood-swings because feelings are flimsy, since they are based on what is happening around us anyway, and that is also constantly changing.

The problem arises when we want to see, feel, touch, hear and smell Jesus Christ before we surrender to Him, before we put our faith and trust in Him, before we embrace Him and fall in Love with Him. It doesn't work that way. In fact, doing all that will ensure only one thing, and that is we will never give our lives to Him.

Jesus Christ is not asking you to suspend your lives for Him, He wants to walk with you through it all. He takes no pleasure in turning you to a dummy while you follow Him mindlessly, what kind of God would that make Him? He wants you the way you are, then He will walk and work with you to become who He created you to be. Believe it, you didn't hapen here by a cosmic coincidence, you came to earth because He fashioned you out, and tailored you for a specific purpose.

WORLD SHAKER

The first time I said the words ''WORLD SHAKER'' was way back October 1, 2002. For the next 5 years, I kept on telling anybody that cared/didn't care to listen that I am a World Shaker even though I didn't fully understand what/how exactly I would go about shaking it. Sometime in 2007, God asked me who a World Shaker is and honestly between you and I, my head was blank; He [God] taught me right there and then that a World Shaker is someone who affects his neighbour positively i.e. someone who influences his neighbour to think/act positively; someone who adds value to another person. The power of 1 is so strong because that 1 person has the potential to influence 1 million others the world over; ergo, do all that is within your capacity to help someone think better. It is said that you act to the best of their knowledge per time; if you know better, you will do better. If you change a person's thoughts, you have inadvertently changed the person's li...

HOPE + FUL - LESS = HOPE

#OccupyNigeria #FuelSubsidy #ABSURAPE #ALUU4 #MUBI #BOKOHARAM #PLANECRASH #FESTACRAPE #UNBOMBING #KIDNAPPING #PILEUPS #BUILDINGCOLLAPSE #FIREDISASTER It is evident that we live in a broken world and nothing we do will fix the predicament we the inhabitants find ourselves because we ourselves are imperfect and there is no way we can create a perfect system out of an imperfect mind. The mere fact that we go from one tragedy to the other shows that the change we seek has to start with us, otherwise, we will remain in the same dysfunctional state where things seem to work, only to take turns for the worse and degenerate into terrible situations which jolts us back to reality. That some of the tragedies we have witnessed in recent times are man-made and preventable is enough reason for us to realize that we need to consciously work on renewing our minds. Where's the love gone? Love for self precedes love for others and this will breed fore-thought and help your decision-making ...

Highly Indebted

There is no self-made human being anywhere, we are all products of the people in our lives, a reflection of who they are. More often than not, we turn out just like the people closest to us, and we perpetuate or if at all possible, re-invent ourselves to chart a new course. I would like to appreciate some of those people who shared their knowledge with me. Sometime in December of the year 2000, my friend Bukola had told the class to expect someone who would come to teach us some science subjects after closing hours. I couldn't have imagined that the trajectory of my life would be altered forever. He sauntered in about a full-hour behind schedule, said simply "my name is Franklyn Eze, you can call me FRC" and after apologizing asked the about a dozen of us left in the class the question "what makes tomato red?" I was taken aback, not only because it had never crossed my mind, but because I had been asked by someone who was about the same age as me or a co...
