Bottom line:
This story is not about pretending everything is fine. It’s about discipline under pressure:
• Control your mouth
• Control your direction
• Take your problem to the right place
• Stay there until something changes

But, beloved, what Jesus did is enough! His finished work is perfect and complete. Because of Him, we are now God’s own people, and we have obtained mercy.
Halleluiah!!!
That is where every believer sits. That is your position, your abode, your permanent identity in Him.
When we speak or think contrary to this truth, we are, in effect, suggesting that what Jesus did is not enough.
WHAT CHRIST DID IS ENOUGH
In Christ, you are more than a conqueror! What Jesus did for us was both substitutionary and sacrificial. He did not just die for us; He died as us. He was buried as us, raised as us, and seated as us in the heavenly places.
Six Truths I Believe:
1.Jesus is God.
2.He created the earth and everything in it.
3.He is the One who will judge the whole world.
4.All authority and power belong to Him.
5.Salvation is found in Him alone.
6.Whether one accepts it now or not, a day is coming when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.
I went back to Luke this morning just to revisit the story of Christmas… and Luke 2:7 hit me like an arrow to the chest:
“She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in cloths and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.”
We romanticize that line so much that we forget how brutal it actually is. If the gospel narrative is true, then that’s not a cute nativity detail. That is the most explosive statement in human history.
The God who created galaxies entered His own creation… and there was no room for Him.
No royal welcome, no palace, no safety, no honor, not even a bed. He comes into the world He made, and the doors are closed in His face.
This is the single greatest scandal of Christianity: God doesn’t supervise salvation from a throne. He steps into it. He doesn’t arrive in glory. He arrives vulnerable. He doesn’t come intimidating humanity into submission. He comes as a child who can’t even hold His own head up. If you were inventing a religion, this is not the story you’d write.
Luke is quietly showing something staggering about God’s character:
He wins, not by force, but by love.
He saves, not by domination, but by self-giving. He comes close, not as a King demanding space, but as a Savior entering even when there is “no room.”
And that manger isn’t sentimental. It’s confrontational.
It confronts our pride, cos humanity has always had space for power, wealth, celebrity, and status… just never space for God unless He serves our plans.
It confronts our illusions of strength cos God is showing that real power isn’t the ability to crush. Real power is the courage to empty yourself for the sake of others.
It confronts religion, cos God bypassed temples and elites and arrived where animals feed… then announced His coming not to emperors, but to shepherds.
Luke 2:7 tells us who God is.
He is not distant, He is not indifferent, He is not cold sovereignty. He is the God who chooses weakness so He can stand with the weak. He is the God who walks into human pain instead of observing it from afar. He is the God who would rather be rejected with us than reign without us.
If this verse is true, Christianity isn’t just another belief system. It’s a radical claim that the deepest power in the universe is love; not might, not fear, not spectacle.
So yes… this verse broke me today.
Because if this is who God is… then hope isn’t sentimental. Grace isn’t theoretical. And Christmas isn’t “cute.”
It’s God stepping into history quietly…
exposing us gently… and saving us completely. Luke 2:7 isn’t a children’s story. It’s a revolution.
Merry Christmas 🎄❤️

“Being in detention was a wonderful experience because I met MNK. I had thought that MNK was a wicked man who wanted to divide Nigeria. But after I met him, I changed my mind. Everybody in DSS detention (more than 90%) see him as a leader. The only problem he has is that he is too courageous & fearless.” ~NANS President
Grave Miscarriage of justice against Sunday Jackson
This is Mr. Sunday Jackson, from Adamawa State. On March 7, 2025, the highest Court in Nigeria sentenced him to death by hanging for disarming and k!ll!ng a fulani terrorist who attacked him in his own farm.
In 2015, Jackson, a 29-year-old farmer and student from Dong Community in Demsa LGA of Adamawa, was working on his farm in Kodomti Community, Numan LGA when Buba Ardo Bawuro, a herdsman, herded his cattle into his farm to feed on his crops.
Jackson challenged him but the herdsman pulled out a knife and attacked him twice.
Although wounded, Jackson was able to seize the knife and stab him in return. Bawuro later died from his wounds.
The police arrested and tried the farmer with culpable homicide in Yola High Court. The charge carried a death sentence under Section 211 of the penal code.
He was subsequently sentenced to death by hanging by the lower court.
He appealed to the Court of Appeal and later the Supreme Court, but the death sentence was upheld.
This ruling sets a dangerous precedent that undermines self-defence claims in similar situations, sending a chilling message to those who might defend their livelihoods.
Justice System Critique.
This case reveals systemic biases and inadequate legal representation, raising serious concerns about the integrity of Nigeria’s judicial process.
Funke Adeoye, the founder of Hope Behind Bars, the prison reform non-governmental organisation which provided legal aid to Jackson, confirmed that one of the judges had dismissed the charges against him but he was convicted based on the confessional statement he wrote without the help of a lawyer.
Jackson’s case has attracted national and international attention. Civil society organisations say that his conviction did not consider mitigating circumstances.
The Nigerian public has also been keen on the case. A petition on that has now reached 70,000 signatures appeals that Jackson be granted a presidential pardon.
Sunday has now spent 9 years in custody for an act of survival.

Emmanuel Adetooto, a corps member in Idemili South, Anambra State, is leading a mission team to spread the Gospel of Lord Jesus Christ in local schools and villages. Despite the prevalent idolatry in the region, which has compromised the church and misled teenagers, they are driven by the Holy Spirit to continue witnessing and discipling.
To demonstrate Christ's love, they plan to incorporate charitable community service into their mission. However, they require financial support to fulfill this vision.
Your contribution will be invaluable in helping them achieve their goal. Please consider supporting this worthy cause.
May God bless you abundantly
