The 'Reluctant' Saviour

  It's once again a season to remember our Lord and saviour Jesus, and many creatives have not disappointed in their display of the events of the season.

One of such creative videos caught my attention, and as a writer per excellence, a lot of ideas are determined to be poured out.



I know that many Christians frown at any comical display of Christ-related issues. But, suffice it to say that no matter your stance or opinion, drama is a powerful informative and entertaining channel. And, like every great art, this skit by IG: @randypeterz while entertaining, made me ponder on the ramifications of what Christians would have faced had Christ Jesus being reluctant or refused to die for our transgressions. 

Have ever wondered about that? And, as a Christian, does it scare you to imagine Christianity without the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus? 

Well let's not allow fear to rule us, and embrace optimism. Our optimistic nature have decided to appreciate a few significance of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 


Significance of Christ's death 
  1. Fulfilment of prophecy. Isaiah 55:1-9, Matthew 27:9-52

2. Access to God. Ex 26:31-37, Hebrew 10:19-25

3. For our healing. Isaiah 53:5

4. Proof of His endless love. John 3:16

5. Proof of His supremacy. 1st Corinthians 15:15-20

6. Introduction of the new covenant. 1st Corinthians 11:23-26

7. Redemption from sin's curse. Galatians 3:13-14, 1st Corinthians 15:21-23

8. Christians' everlasting hope. Matthew 27:50-53

So as we celebrate this season, endeavour to; RAP
  • reflect on the significance of the season. 
  • appreciate God's endless love. 
  • ponder on how to be better.

POURQUOI? [8/7/16, 19:02]

All my life I have always done things because it's expected of me. The expectations didn't necessarily steam from within me but from without; others. And I honestly don't regret any bit of it. But after a tragic event in my area that reminded me once again of the vanity of life, I decided to change the dance; I decided to do something cos it's what I want and not what others wanted. I decided to indulge myself in some past-time passion of mine. So I went into the world of music— not to sound arrogant, but I virtually know a little of my onions about a lot except music, so I went to rectify that. One day, in this "music-world" we had an argument about the delicate topic; "churches".  And someone made this point about his reason for being in his present denomination and why he can't change church that surprised me.  According to him, 'he can never leave his church for a church that his present church is senior to'. {Lol😅} Now, that is prob...

Bitter Taste of Christmas

  I can vividly remember 15/12/2010‎ like it was yesterday.  On the fateful evening of 14/12/2010, my youngest uncle had called to inform us that a group of foreign medical experts came to Orlu Teaching hospital, Imo state to operate on patients with goitre, and that he enrolled my grand-ma. Mama had being with this goitre for years and had previously objected to surgery. How my uncle convinced her to participate this time around is still a mystery to me. After receiving his call that day, I was delegated to travel to the village. I grudgingly accepted, not that I didn't want to visit mama, but I felt marginalised. Nobody considered my itinerary prior to the mandated visit. Because I loved my grand-ma so much, I agreed. And so on that fateful day-15/12/2010 I embarked my journey to the Orlu. If I had known what fate had in store for my young heart, I would have done things differently from the previous day-when we received the call. For starters; I won't have grumbled for bein...
