Icheoku extends our felicitation of the season to you, our friends and visitors alike; and pray that the soon to rise Jesus Christ will also facilitate the rise in your lives, all that means something to you. Our Easter flower, in full bloom, is sure looking more easterly now and we pray that your life blessings imitate it in coming to you in full and entire. As you celebrate the victory over death of Lord and Master Jesus Christ this Easter, please remember to share some of your blessings with those who have not. Please know that you don't have to wait to literally meet Jesus face to face before telling him how much you love him as you can express this love vicariously via the people around you, who all are ambassadors of Christ as was instructed by Jesus himself in the Bible.
Those homeless people under the bridge who you look over every day are Jesus. Those hungry people foraging for food and feeding off garbage bins are Jesus. Those beggars begging for quarters and cents or Naira and kobos depending on the location are Jesus. Those with little or no clothes on their shriveled bodies to fight off the elements are Jesus. Those widows who have lost their source of livelihood are Jesus and so are the helpless innocent children and other similarly situated adults alike. So as you selfishly savor that which you believe you have earned and supposedly entitled to as of right, please be wary that needy Jesus is everywhere asking for your help.
Therefore do not tally to meet Jesus first or dither until you visit a church of prosperity before showing your love for Jesus via a tithe or ten percent or whatever donation you prefer to make to a fat-cat minister or pastor, who already lives in a mind-boggling anti-Jesus luxury; with some owing fleets of jet planes. Icheoku says with some degree of certainty that some of these pastors and ministers over-indulged earthly lifestyles cannot be in any way pleasing in the eyes of Jesus, who himself declined a worldly gift of paradise on earth from Lucifer. So this Easter, before lavishing your gifts on these "men of earthly materials" parading themselves as "Men of God; and falsely thinking that you are giving to Jesus through them, please ask yourself, what would a risen Jesus do. Happily you do not have to wait for an answer as it is already in the bible - his response to a tempting Lucifer on the mountain is all instructive. Happy Easter celebrants.
