" ...I had a lot of things then, including shyness and smallness.

I had reservations of timidity that could buy me all the failures in the world

I am not ashamed to say it was always a thing of joy to exempt myself from being bold for what was necessary...

With my rich equipage of fear, whenever life calls me on its stage, I would betray both grammar and logic.

I had an unyielding wisdom

A baseless integrity,

fruitless creativity,

I had abilities that were never going be true

I was secretly talented

I had speed at pursuing shadows

You could never beat me to deception

I had an inventory of false success

I had a mind full of doubt

I had breath taking skills at survival

I wasn't wild but full of rust and cracks! 


And at some point, I became the first from the bottom.


I lost e-ve-rything I had!

The specialists' therapies were also not working on me

I was going to be destroyed!


But just  then,



Salvation happened...

Christ picked me up in my pieces...

what used to be wrongfully precious, I lost it all to Christ!

The lost was much that I died... Then I came back... This time, bereft of what wasn't necessary in the first place.

Now I lack a lot of things, including shyness and smallness. I actually gave all my space to Jesus.

Because I have been occupied by someone so perfect.. I am now full of The holy ghost.

I have reservations of power that would command all the success in the world.

I am not ashamed to say it is always a thing of joy to assume boldness.

From my richer equipage of faith, I can move mountains without much grammar and logic.

I have a super yielding wisdom,

thick sincere integrity,

fruitful creativity,

I have the realest abilities.




I have speed to pursue, overtake and recover all that mattered and still matters.

I no longer need deception to feel secured

I own an immeasurable height of accruing success.

I have a mind full of possibilities.

He renewed my mind and refined me.
Now, I am the first and not the last.

I am not just living for the now,
I have eternal life in me.


I live in abundance!

Jesus gave it all to me


In presenting the biblical similitude of my story, Jude puts it thus :

24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you without blemish before the presence of glory with rejoicing,
25 to the only God, our saviour through Jesus Christ our lord be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time now and for ever. Amen.

This instantiates me and gives essence to my present stance.



You see, Life is basically lived through choice making. The most of it, aside from the naturals, being projections from wit-demanding, delicate decisions which would be crystallised into existential realities called choices.


We often sleep with these choices breeding in our very breadth, and still wake to commune with them.

Choices are intrinsic, essential and effectual in all sorts.
They can make and mar regardless of who is involved.
No matter ones destiny, story, caste and creed, a wrong choice doesn't spare, any more than a good choice doesn't deprive.

I had made choices in the past -the excellent, the good, the bad and the ugly ones.
I had literally cheated death a  couple of times whilst executing things for myself.

I kept on struggling just as so many in that miserable tide. This inherent business of choosing and deciding what should or could be as the case may be, distanced me from aptitude and glory.

Until I made just one more choice, that was going to take care of everything else.




'I chose Jesus'



In a sincere, active and genuine manner.

And then,

Being born of an incorruptible seed, He first gave me light and therein I found life!

I grew... step by step, The Spirit leaded and still leads me into my deep riches in Christ.

He exchanged my unproductive life with something more useful than all the gold in the world -His glorious life.

Now, I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me

His grace is ever sufficient

How did it happen?

I know of just two things :

I didn't only believe in him, I totally surrendered.

My dried-up bones received life when I sincerely surrendered them all to Him.

Today,

I am not just hopeful of His kingdom , I am useful to Him and to His entire kingdom.

Then I thought, ' If He has qualified me for His kingdom, what then can disqualify me on earth?


' What then can separate me from His love ?

' What would come in between me and His grace? '

NOTHING!
I say NO - THING!
Nothing today!
Nothing tomorrow!
Nothing forever!

He is my portion forever!

He is The King of kings, The Lord of lords, The redeemer The..
He is more than I know

Then since I have Him, I have more than I know. Wow! Hallelujah!

With Him, I would get to find out all of this one after the other. And as a rule, find out His daily will as He provides my daily bread.

With Christ, I can only keep getting better.

Guess what, He is everything

So I have everything, because I have Him.

With Him, I can't make mistakes again! Yes, Only with Him. He has made things that easy.

He spoke and still speaks for me when I can't!

He acts and sees the same! When I faint, He keeps me going.

All these for me?

Again and again, I would say, He is my portion forever.

After our first parents disobeyed God, man had lost his God assigned glory, and got his authority shared amongst creatures like snakes and situations like child-birthing. In a pathetically acquired fate, man resigned into limitless inadequacies. So much that he lost his grounds to sin and its banes.

But Jesus was there as the word that created all things. So He knows just how inadequate we are, hence He completes us by taking over us. Only when we choose Him.

He restores our authority at once, that we once again can tread upon serpents and scorpions and have mastery over life's situations as it used to be.

What a faithful God!

Choose Christ today, and every choice you'd make afterwards, will always be right.
There is no shadow of turning with Him.

King Jesus is faithful and merciful;
He is Lord forever "
