It’s quite a tragedy what the first Adam did, but that shouldn’t be an excuse for the life some Christians lead; because Christians are products of the second Adam’s (Christ) deeds, the results of redemption and not the redeemed...
In a bid to remain logical, some Christians feed their mind with carnal junk & weed, issues that the media proclaims as topical; therefore, from the temperate climes to the tropical, some Christians now bear seeds of negativities that soon germinate to rhetorical reeds of pain, fear, rejection, lack, poverty, sicknesses, tear beads and greed that shouldn’t be...
Humanity has become so conscious of “maybes”, that certainty has become a painful comedy & faith’s potency as proclaimed by true Christianity is sledge-hammered by the logical incongruity of cynics and the realists’ community...what a pity! Thus, most Christians of our days disbelief miracles, preach the mundane, proclaim with disdain the falsehood of the true believers who, through years of denials & pains, have been able to attain divine spectacles...what a debacle!
They are quick to believe a surgeon who promises a successful sojourn into their body for a heart transplant so they could forge-on amidst life’s bludgeons rather than trudge-on in faith and be healed through the Holy Ghost with which they wear sealed! They would rather believe on their pocket rate for a luncheon than lunch on the verse that says, “...Forget about what meat to eat tomorrow, for if I can take care of the sparrows, then I can take care of your swallows”... do you follow?
They tell you “I need a contact” in some office to get a contract forgetting to stay on track with the verse that says “trust in me with all your heart, forget your thinking hat and rely on my understanding, acknowledge me in your wanderings & I will guide you out of the meanderings”... Yet they reply, “I trust in His word” but rely on another man’s gourd for wine to pour forth so they can grub, forgetting that this takes away their sense of worth... these folks are getting heaven wroth!
Mark IX v XXIII makes me fly because it reminds me of the reel of mind that the Christian is supposed to play, rewind and play again till no doubt remains in his veins... When rephrased it says, “...Possibilities are certainties in the life of Christians who believe in possibilities”, in other words “as a man’s heart thinketh, so his life sinketh...” ask the few Christians who wear diamond trinkets... They will tell you they dreamt of pink-jets before they could even afford singlets...
Yet some Christians prefer to be referred to as the lowly & “austere” ... a title that is not found anywhere in the Bible... please let me make this clear, Christians are not called to suffer despair, we are the ones the world is supposed to cheer, not the reverse... The world’s standards are not supposed to be the lanyards with which Christians fire their canons of desires, but some have retired to a life of misery in the name of destiny – “what will be will be” they say, yet they pray... I am dismayed!
Just like Peter their schema are hindered by the fetters of science... that schemer that tries to define life by “meters” – a word that has no grain of physical attributes, not even litters. Imagine science trying to measure the pacific in litres... That is quite bitter! Why is it hard for these Christians to believe that life could be sweeter, that they could be bigger & quit acting as if they were seat-fillers on earth?
Their thoughts are “maybe if I don’t expect too much from life, the effects won’t be too much when the world rejects my grand projects, offering negative affects and disrespects instead”... Why can’t they stop thinking about the sinking of the titanic and think about the shrinking of the red sea..? Now, that’s a classic thought you need to practice – like mind magic...
They need to think about the fact that God is not static but dynamic in his ways, yet He’s never and will never change... They need to understand that He can’t let them be disgraced if they walk in His grace.... & they need to quit with the distaste because everytime they fear & hate, they frustrate the blessings that await them every day!
They feel a persistent headache coming on & they go “Oh! It’s a tumour” because they have heard the rumour that science has spread – “Persistent headache is a sign of tumour”, that’s what the medical media clamours... Why can’t they think “maybe it’s an idea brewing up & struggling to be released since last year”? They are too busy with their duties, with movies, with what to wear & bear that they do not even find time to listen to their head... But of course, all that sounds like humour... you probably think this write-up is one big humour... I’m just asking them to expect more goodies from life & do more to see the good in life! I pray they do more...
Christians are not ordinary people; their lives should be puzzles & riddles to the natural men, whose spirits can only bear so little!
Some Christians are more sin conscious than conscious about the righteousness that abides in righteous men... They are more conscious of the impending doom of lack than God’s room & stack of wealth that is ever in bloom & spark... If there’s anything bigger than logic, that is God, & if there’s anything bigger than God, it is GOD; meaning five senses cannot figure him out – forget your taste buds... If you focus on the world’s locus , negativities grow bigger, but if you fix your gaze on our great God, in your very face possibilities will grow bigger...
Last words from a mind that is past bored with the negativities of a caste-world, “Nothing pass God”
