7 Killer Weights That Can Crush Your Dreams

Note: All Bible citations are taken from the King James Version.

1. IMMORAL THOUGHTS

The mind (heart) is the place where all good and evil originate from. Every evil ever perpetrated originated from the mind. 

The scripture says “guide your heart with all diligence, for out of it flow the issues of life”. If the mind is captured, the whole body has been captured. 

One of these thoughts that is really eating deep into the lives of youths is “Sexual thoughts”. Immoral thoughts of sex in whatever form can be the very of any believer that fails to deal with it sincerely.

For an instance, about four (4) years ago, I was a victim. I could hardly go a day without imagining myself having sex with various girls. I got bored of thoughts, so I moved on into porn. I was a mess. 

I give Glory to God for redeeming me. I’m completely redeemed whether you believe it or not.
Whatever immoral thought you harbour in your heart, you need to drop them before they drop you.

“Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” – Philippians 4:8

2. PRIDE

The wicked thing about pride is that you might not even know that you exhibit it. Peradventure, you have forgotten; pride goes before a fall. It’s not enough to know but you must be careful not to allow it linger any longer.

Anyone who consistently disobeys God’s instruction is exhibiting pride. It means you don’t reverence and therefore who is He to instruct you around. 

Pride has been the bane of many Christians. Sometimes we attain a level of spirituality and we think we are beyond correction and you just make yourself  'omnipotent’.

I have seen some senior ministers in ministry who thinks attending Sunday school or bible study is a waste of time. Perhaps, maybe they think they have outgrown such meetings.

“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.” – James 4:6

3. LAZINESS

Poor preparations always lead to poor performance. Most poor preparations can be traced back to laziness. 

Before writing this post, I was feeling kind of lazy. I didn’t feel like doing anything but lay on my bed. Yes, we all have those moments but the truth is that we must take charge before it becomes a habit.

I took charge of that feeling, gathered courage to write this post.

I have realised that the best way to overcome laziness is to do that thing you don’t want to do. Tell yourself that you are dying every day because time is life. You only have one lifetime to get it right.

“Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;” – Romans 12:11

 

4. LOOSE TONGUES

Each time you use curse words, talk too much, confess negative words, etc, you endanger yourself as a Christian. You can’t afford to misuse your tongue by cursing people or get involved in unhealthy discussions or even say evil things to yourself.

The power of life and death lies in the tongue. You can always trace the activities of the tongue back to your thoughts. Scripture says “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” If we want to regulate the tongue, always regulate the heart.”

Use your tongue for life. Spread the gospel, inspire someone, pray for someone, speak positive words to yourself, encourage someone, praise God, etc.

“He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls “- Proverbs 25:28 

 

5. ANGER

It’s quite true that none of the things I previously mentioned outweighs each other but i would say anger is to be treated with extra caution. Anger can destroy the individual and the things or persons around him/her.

Anger spreads like wild fire if not contained. Do you remember when I referred to anger as “hulk mode”? Everyone has the potential of switching into hulk mode but the good news is that with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can extinguish it.

Some people justify being angry but I guess that’s a topic for another day.

Anger comes in various forms; bitterness, malice, envy, resentment, intolerance, revenge, wrath, hatred, sedition, jealousy, attack, gossip, sarcasm, unforgiveness, etc.

“He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.”- Proverbs 16:32

6. FEAR

Fear can come in different forms; worry anxiety, timidity, indecision, superstition, withdrawal, loneliness, over-aggression, doubts, inferiority, cowardice, suspicion, depression, hesitancy, haughtiness, shyness, etc.

It’s not only that fear dampens your spirit, it also lead to diseases which in turn can bring about untimely death. 

In the scripture, the number of times recorded where God said ‘fear not’ is over 400 times. This can tell us how important it is to keep a courageous spirit.

“Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?” – Matthew 6:25

Seven Steps for Dropping Unnecessary weights

Over the years, I have carried some of these weights and I’ll share some secrets I learnt from Tim Lahaye the author the bestselling book “Why you act the way you do”. 

According to him, it may not seem scientific to some, but I know it’s biblical and it works! 

1. See your Weights as Sin.
2. Confess them anytime they occur.
3. Ask God to take them away.
4. Forgive the person who caused it. (if any)
5. Give thanks to God always.
6. Consecrate your thought pattern. (via God’s word)
7. Repeat the above formulas each time you see traces.

7 Killer Weights You Should Avoid In the Journey of Life

Life is a journey. There is a starting point at birth and a finishing point at death. Life can be likened to a race and every man is running this race.

The journey of some is like climbing up a hill pushing or pulling a boulder. Are you living such a life? You keep trying to pass the course of life while carrying unnecessary weights. 

Climbing up a hill with a boulder makes it more challenging and strenuous.
There are a lot of people who believe they can do anything in life. This is quite true but as a Christian, you are just a sojourner in this world and we can’t do just anything.

The Christian journey can be challenging. This is why you will need all the help you can get from the Holy Spirit.

We must be able to do away with those extra weights by the help of the Holy Spirit that won’t take you to our final destination. 

These weights vary amongst individuals but you should be able to identify and deal with it as soon as possible before they deal with you.

7 Setbacks You should avoid

Generally, a weight is anything you cling to that hinders you from realising a goal. We should examine a few.

• Immoral Thoughts
• Pride
• Laziness
• Loose tongue
• Lust
• Anger
• Fear

I know quite well that you must have heard and read about them before but the truth is that we can never over emphasize on them because these are the common tools that the Satan use against Christians

Sometimes, the problem is that they manifest themselves in ways that are not really obvious but it takes a man that is sensitive in the spirit to discern them quickly. 

NOTE: This is not to make us self righteous or sin conscious but just to remind us of these things that can be harmful to our walk with God

I hope you are enjoying this weekend. I will continue in my next post and we will see some things together.

Happy Easter: Are You Living As Jesus The Christ?

 It’s another season of celebration and reflection. A time to focus on the sacrifice that Jesus the Christ made for humanity. It is an exchange that took place between three days; from death to life.   It’s what makes the Christian Faith unique. Every man that plugs himself into the reality of this sacrifice by faith (believing) gets the free gift of righteousness.

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one (Jesus Christ).” – Romans 5:17

If we were not there when Adam the first man disobeyed and we all were stuck in it, the same process follows that one man’s obedience (Jesus) gives us all who believe in Him righteousness.

However, it’s really great to experience another Easter Period but I can’t ignore the fact that the last three months has recorded death of innocent lives especially from the Boko Haram Terrorists.
I was reading the papers and I saw pictures that made me weep. It is really sad to hear that a family died due to a bomb blast. My hearts always go out to these victims in prayers. I hope you will be doing the same. We all need to pray for a terrorist free nation.

In the light of this, I want to share some things we need to understand as Christians in other to live a well-seasoned life.

A Man is His Thoughts

"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD.” – Isaiah 55:7-8

God by prophecy through Isaiah makes it clear to us that man’s evil/unrighteous way is a  product of his thoughts. I have written quite a a number of posts on our thoughts because I understand the important role it plays in all we do. See my archive.

The principal factor to every decision a man makes lies in his mind set. Everything a man does in life has a direct connection to his thoughts. The events that unfold around him is a reflection of his thoughts.
The thoughts, words and actions of a man is intertwined. The “principle of thoughts” can’t be overemphasized.

“As a man thinks, so is he.”

A man is known by his words and actions (Content of his character).Since we were initially designed in God’s image, there are similarities in the mode of operation(mechanism) of man with God except for the fact that the natural man’s operating spirit (OS) got corrupted by sin.

This therefore created a disparity in the may God and man operates.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” -  Isaiah 55:9

God’s thoughts are of good purpose, thoughts of power and potency and they reflect in his words and actions.
His words are full of integrity, power, potency and authority. His words are full of fertility, productivity, wealth, love and of all good and perfect thing.

“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”- Isaiah 55:10-11

The scripture also confirms that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks (acts)”

God also initiated an act based on the abundance of His heart (mind/thoughts). He gave his only begotten son to die for our sins.(John 3:16)

This is the mechanism that man was designed to operate with. Everything we command is a product of our thoughts.

A solution

The very nature of man got corrupted by sin since the beginning. He doesn't naturally think was totally satisfies the inner man, He doesn't act what satisfies and speak what satisfies.

For this to be corrected, he needs to be filled with the original content that births good. He needs to be filled with something of equal or more potency of his original design.

Man is actually a spirit and the only anti-virus is the Holy Spirit but the Holy spirit can only rest in man trough a Holy medium. This medium is the blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross. 

Therefore, by faith in the sacrifice on the cross, we are cleansed, thereby allowing or granting the Holy Spirit the perfect condition for Him to stay in us.

Now the original nature is restored, he is empowered with the ability to think good/satisfying and eternal things that will satisfy him (spirit man) as long as he remains plugged to the source of power; JESUS THE CHRIST.

A MAN IS HIS THOUGHTS! THE SEED TO THE REALITY OF A MAN LIES IN HIS THOUGHTS

CONFESSION

I am made in God’s image and likeness. I am a reflection of God’s thought. I am a product of God’s word. God is His word; Therefore I am god(psalm 82:6). A co-creator with God, creating every good and perfect thing unto eternity.

Seek Life In The True Light

"For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light" - Psalm 36:9 

Light is an incredible force. It's usefulness and potency is undisputed. Light in itself represents Life.

The earth is alive because of the sun. It was created by God to give energy to the earth; what we know as SOLAR ENERGY.
Many mechanisms on earth needs the Sun to operate; From physical to chemical. Plants, Animals and Human need the Sun to survive. It was God ordained. 

The focus of today is on a far greater light than Sun. The Light that brought about the Sun. It is the light of God.

Scripture make us understand that God created the world with the word which is Jesus. The sun and everything came to be by Jesus.

Jesus is the life force of the world because she was framed by Him.
Therefore we must see the Authoritative nature in His Light. In the book of John, the Light shone and darkness couldn't comprehend.

This is the subduing power of Jesus in our lives. He can shine into every tight corners of our situation and bring life to it.

All you need is an encounter. Desire an encounter, encourage an encounter and thirst for an encounter. Just fix your eyes on Him.

If you let Him, he will light you up, Just stay connected.
The natural man most times and some believers always go seek help in the wrong place.

They seek  satisfaction in earthly things. Sometimes we try to use our ambitions, career, family to replace God's light but deep down there is an emptiness crying out to be filled.

In Isaiah 55, Prophet Isaiah was speaking God's mind when he was moved by the spirit.

"Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
Why spend monetary on what is not bread, and your labour on what does not satisfy....."

The deep calls to the deep. Man is a spirit being and therefore material/physical can't satisfy him no matter how long the pretending can last.

The only thing that can satisfy a man is the spirit of God.
Allow God's Light via His words powered by the Holy Spirit to express Himself in you.

Jesus said, 

"Everyone who drinks this water(natural water) will be thirsting again but whoever drinks the water I give will never thirst.
Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."( John 4:13-14)

The beautiful thing is that when God fills you up, it multiplies.
Seek that which satisfy your spirit man.

Focus:
Man is a spirit and He can only quench the inner hunger and thirst by God's Light.

I Failed because it’s not God’s will

It’s very absurd to know that some Christians believe if they fail at something, it’s not God’s will for them. They conceive a beautiful idea, set a Smart goal, and work towards the realization of the vision then someone along the line something goes wrong.

Photo Credit: freedigitalphotos.net

As a result of that, they come to the conclusion, “It’s not God’s will.” I believe it’s a wrong mentality. It is religious and not ‘Christianity’. I do not think there’s any scriptural reference that anything you plan to do and fail at, is not God’s will.

I’ve never seen a successful man or woman who had it smooth all through. In fact, most successful people had failed a couple of times before they finally made it.

A common example would be Thomas Edison who failed more than 500 times before he finally got it right.

“A failure is not the man that falls but the man that refused to rise up after falling”

What’s God’s will then?

If you think that your aspirations are not God’s will, at least you should be able to tell what his will is then.

Most times, we keep saying “I don’t think it’s God’s will” but we fail to even ask “What is His will?”
As far as I know, God wants His children to know His mind. Why do you think he gave us the same Holy Spirit?

I’ve discovered that all the heroes of the bible knew God’s will for their life. Directly or indirectly, it was obvious to me that God wasn’t hiding it.

He is your father. Always be sensitive to Him. He is always telling you His will if you look inside you, you will know.

Failure is a Path to Success

If your relationship is very messy, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is not meant to be. It might just be that you are still doing something wrong.

If you are having bad grades, it doesn’t mean you are not meant to be in school (just like some of my Nigerian friends believe). It could just be your trial phase in other to discover yourself

No matter how bad it might be, don’t assume! Demand to know why.

The Holy Spirit is your closest friend. Learn to always communicate with Him.

I love to make new friends. Feel free to send me a message anytime. :)

Manifesting Like Jesus: What you should know

I was in my room reflecting on the scripture when it reoccurred to me how important it is to focus on Jesus. 

The ultimate aim of every genuine believer is to become the image God wants. God has a standard as regards that; Jesus the Christ, the word of God personified.

“Truly, truly, I say unto you, whoever believes in me will also do works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the father” - John 14: 12

Following this scriptures, the minimum standard for any Christian to operate with is Jesus.

“…greater works than these will he do,” Apparently, some Christians are far from this. (My prayer is that we all should function in full capacity of the Holy Spirit)

Jesus indeed did a lot of good while on earth. He is a teacher, healer, preacher, and ultimately, He is my saviour (don’t know about you :) ).

To be like Jesus, you need to study how he operated on earth. There are few points to consider that will help us manifest like Jesus.

- Knowing/understanding purpose

- Preparation

- Approval/endorsements

- Manifesting

Knowing/Understanding (your) Purpose

This should be the basis of all others. Jesus knew clearly what he was to do and he understood how he was to do it.

As a Christian, if you have no idea of what your purpose is and how to go about it, it will be difficult to manifest like Jesus did.

Everyone has a distinct purpose. Jesus purpose on earth was to reconcile man back to
God.

I would say that our purpose as Christians are in two phases;

• Maxi purpose- To glorify God (living a holy life, doing good works, winning souls, etc.)

•  Mini purpose- These are specific assignments that we have to do to accomplish the maxi purpose.

KEY NOTE: I’m God’s labourer unto good works, the works he had prepared before I was created

We must bear this in mind. This makes our understanding of purpose strong.

PREPARATION

When there is understanding about purpose, it’ll be easier to plan. It’s not possible to prepare for what you have no idea about.

According to the Scripture, Jesus spent 33 years on earth. He used the last 3 years doing the work, fulfilling purpose. The first 30 years was used for preparation.

In a man’s life, I believe preparation for a divine task comes in phase. Most times we have to go through series of trials. We fall victim of circumstances that unknowing to us were preparing us for the future.

Daily preparation in the place of prayer and studying the Bible should never be neglected.

After Jesus was baptized, he was led up into the wilderness to be tempted. He defeated the devil by quoting scripture. That was his test after fasting for forty days and Nights.

We must know that apart from praying and studying the bible, there will be series of events that will unfold to make us into the perfect vessel for specific assignments (mini purpose).

APPROVAL/ENDORSEMENT

Taking a cue from the story Of Jesus we would see that His ministry started after the spirit of God came upon him. He was given the capacity (anointing) to do the father’s will.

It didn’t stop there. God went ahead to declare him (Jesus) as his son publicly.

“And behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved son, with whom I am well pleased.”” – Matthew 3:17

If you are not sure you have the Holy Spirit in you, don’t make any effort to do spiritual works; your strength will fail you.

Why?

I have a friend who gave his life to Christ and after months of struggling, he came to me and said “I don’t understand the Bible; I don’t have the Holy Spirit”.

 I asked why he said so and he replied “I don’t feel any sensation or have goose bumps when I pray and read the bible”.

This is no joke. I felt sorry for him because he had the ideology that when the Holy Spirit comes on people, they feel sensations and have goose bumps.

So when he didn’t get any sensation, he concluded “I don’t have the Holy spirit”

We receive the Holy Spirit by faith. Everything a Christian does must be by faith.

The Holy Spirit is there to approve us that we are Sons of God. He bears witness to
God that we are true believers.

“…But to all who did receive him, who believes in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” – John 1:12

MANIFESTING LIKE JESUS

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with Power. He went about dong good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him”- Acts 10:38

Without the Holy Spirit, it is impossible to do God’s work profitably. After Jesus was anointed, everywhere he went, he left a mark of good will. He was performing miracles, putting smiles on people’s faces, raising the dead, healing the sick, delivering the oppressed.

KEY NOTE- We can’t be an effective Christian without the Holy Spirit.

When Manifesting, we must do some things to make sure we don’t fall.I'll discuss three.

1.Avoid Distractions 

Distractions comes in different forms. I'll talk about two below   

• Persecution 

This is a must. Some people will reject you, ridicule you but you must hold your grounds.

Surely, all that desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted – 2 Timothy 3:12 (ESV)

•   Praises Of Men

Be careful when people are praising you, it might just be a plot for your fall.

“Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him King, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.” – John 6:15

Jesus also had a fair share of such experience. He knew it wasn’t time yet, so he withdrew

2. Always Refill

If you don’t keep coming back to God for refill, you will soon burn out.

“After he had dismissed the crowds, he went up in the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone”- Matthew 14:23

Jesus at some point would leave the disciples and the crowd he was teaching to go and pray alone.

We must understand that if we are too busy to rest and recharge ourselves, we should be prepared to crash.

3.Give All Glory To God.

“…not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit says the LORD of hosts.” 

Now this is very important. The consequence of taking God’s glory to ourselves is more disastrous than a mountain falling on us.

The scripture says “let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your father who is in heaven.”

If our actions are sending signals that we are self-made, we are taking God’s glory. Everything we do, should always point back to God.

Final Words

“Keep your conduct among the gentiles Honourable so that when they speak against you as evil doers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.”- 1 peter 2:12

Every work continues till the last day. So, we ought to keep the faith until we live this earth.

Out of the struggles of life evolved their Identity

“Keep your heart with all diligence; for out it is the issues of life”

The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose.  Any man not living a purpose just exists.

I’ll say boldly that anybody that is not glorifying God is not fulfilling purpose. 

This might offend some people but yes it is the truth. No matter what it seems that you are doing, it’s the big truth. 

“Who hath saved us, and called with an holy calling not according to our works, but according to his own purpose, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.” – 2 Timothy 1-9

I’ve discovered that one person’s act of fulfilling purpose; can cause people around him/her to head towards that same direction. 

This is because actions are like seeds. Your actions have a way of influencing people. 

Must Read: Why you need to speak positively

The process of fulfilling purpose is as important as the process of discovering purpose.

 I’ll be doing a case study of two men who I admire their level of determination and impact. These men are Steve Harris and Praise Fowowe.

We’ll be looking at how their struggles in life led to the path of them fulfilling purpose.

STEVE HARRIS

•  Steve Harris is regarded as Nigeria’s Leading Life Strategist. He believes that his life epitomizes possibilities. 

• He is an unashamed Jesus lover. He’s a management consultant, motivational speaker and certified Life coach.

• Steve is a two time college dropout (University of Benin, Madonna University). 

• There were series of things that were responsible for his dropping out of college, such as lecturer’s humiliation, and some other things he revealed in his book titled From College Dropout to Corporate Sellout .

Though a college dropout coming up as a success is no new thing, but I know there are so many Nigerians who still limit themselves by believing If they Don’t Go to a University, they can’t become “somebody in life”.

• Steve had no clue about what he wanted to do with his life till he was 27 ( some of you are probably close or more than 27).

• Just like most success stories, it was a single decision he made that turned his life around. He began to build his sphere of influence, moved with people that would help him get his direction. 

I’ll say it’s all in the mind. As a man thinks in his heart, so he is.

Today, Steve Harris is a UK certified Life coach, and a management consultant. 

He is the founder of Edgecution, a firm of management consultants and executive coaches.

He is a sought after speaker in many organizations in the country and abroad.

To know more about him, go to Iamsteveharris.com.

LESSON

From Steve Harris story, one can see that in the midst of all his struggles, an identity was carved for him. 

He was a person that didn’t know what to do with his life until 27, but now he is the same person helping people fit into what God had designed them to do. 

Don’t forget, he is a believer of Jesus and this is one of the things that make him stand out.

“Impartation is not all about the money you give, but by sowing seeds into people lives that will germinate into fruits for them.”- ologundudu Abraham

Steve's Words To You

It’s not what you don’t have that limits you but it’s what you have but don’t know how to use.

PRAISE FOWOWE

“We are not renewed by attending church or fellowship, but by the word of God.”

• Praise Fowowe is an international sexuality education strategist/Advisor, family life coach and crisis manager. 

• His story is such a fascinating one. When majority at the age of six would be concerned about playing games, watching cartoons, reading comics, etc., 

praise was mostly concerned about sex.

• At a tender age, praise was doing what most kids his age had no business doing.

  

• Praise was first introduced into the world of sex at age four when he was sexually abused by one of his aunts. His father was a pastor. 

• Praise, in a long run began to enjoy it. It wasn’t long before he found other children who had the same desires like him.

• Praise gradually got out of control, by age 14; he had become a sex addict. 

• At age 16, he gained admission into the university. At this point in his life, he wanted to change. He knew he was in a big mess.

• In the midst of his suffering and uncontrolled sexual life, he heard the gospel of Christ and accepted it.

• Just like most believers on campus, he joined a fellowship, thinking that would help. 

• He wanted to share his story with his fellowship members but they appeared to be too spiritual to him. Everyone in the fellowship seems to be perfect.

• He went on with his sex problems till he heard God tell him to share his 'sextimony' (testimony about his sex life). 

On a particular fellowship meeting, he shared his story about his struggles with sex. 

At the end of his story, he felt lighter and from that day marked a new life for praise.

From that day, by God’s inspiration, it has been his desire to help people overcome their sexual addictions

You can watch this documentary about him

By the reason of his experience, he understands how people like him feel.

When it comes to sexual issues, praise is the most sought after person.

•  He is a columnist on “This day” dailies.
•  He has written seven books on sexuality and family issues.

• He is the founder of Uncommon Man Network. 

• He also hosts talk shows on Radio stations. Go to Praisefowowe.com to know more about him.

LESSON

•   There is a similarity between Steve’s story and praise’s; there was a mark between their old life and new life.

• That mark was when they desired change and they took practical steps to effect that change.

•   Instruction can save one from destruction. God said “…” and he did it.

•    Sex addict turns sexuality education strategist.

•   I personally think that his struggles were just a preparation for his assignment.

Praise's Words To You

The moment you renew your mind, your sex life will change. Your sex life can’t be better than your sex mind.

You too can be a success, you can overcome. You can be victorious with Jesus.

Over To you
