CHRIST our SOURCE of INNOVATION By Marilynn Akpomera

There is always an endless strife that drives us towards wanting to become masters of our craft. Our hearts beat with the desire to make change and introduce newness.

In our childhood, it was expected that we transcend from crawling to walking to talking and to knowing, likewise our adulthood is expected to move from knowing to creating to building and to establishing.

Anticipating our future as kids was fun. We would often play dress up and transform (with the help of our imagination) into who we hoped to become and demanded everyone we come across address us same way. But as adults it's different.

Reality keeps on throwing parties before us, we care less what people address us as, fun is seldom prioritized because the pressure exerted on us by those close to us increases exponentially as we grow. Our increasing responsibility and the inability to always meet them begins to make us think less of ourselves. Inferiority complex sets in and we slowly begin to lose the identity we passionately clang to as kids.

Depression often sets in and knocks us off our pedestal of dominion. We keep on burning our candles at both ends because we needlessly seek the approval of our superiors. Then when we wish we had intelligence, strength and resilience like Batman, or Spiderman, or Tom and Jerry respectively, ignoring the fact that they are the fictitious products of the minds of other men.

We causelessly switch to running fast in the dark like we understand the path or even know God's plans. We convince ourselves that our eyes are on the prize when God keeps on reminding us "that's not your life". We even put in extra hours at work just to avoid being broke. And all this happens because we never realize that Christ is our source of innovation.

Christ our source of innovation introduces change the moment He walks in, He saturates us with newness as we accept Him, He fills us with ideas as we ask Him because our ideas will only be heard by our peers but with Christ it has no end. 

Christ our source of innovation soaks us with knowledge more than we can ever get from college; He makes us so attractive even when we feel there's nothing that makes us distinctive. Christ our source of innovation is always the extra that makes things better!!!!!!!!
