Hello friends I’m Chi! I am a 26 yr old British born Nigerian whose innate passion stems from everything and anything creative that glorifies Jesus. This includes writing, drawing and media. At first glance, most people assume that I solely have a technical and analytical mind considering my engineering background. But the more you begin to know me, the more you realise that there is so much more to the way in which I see the world. Yet, coming to know self has taken a long while, in fact I sat quite empty and unfulfilled for many years under the breeding ground of education – which simply did not allow me to explore the side to myself that the Holy Spirit was ready to use.
In my younger years, I wrote many letters to God. I consider them now to have been a heart-cry regarding my purpose. The issue is, most of these letters were nearly always sad, few represented the beautiful delicate moments of my past. In reality, it’s as if I chose to journal only in the instances where there was a trial or tribulation or confusion about my future and destiny, but regrettably I did not count or date the joyful scenes God had imparted many times before in my childhood. Now I know, every second of the process is worthy of being journaled. Memory is a powerful reckoning and also burning evidence of the Grace of God. So I decided this year on my birthday to start documenting each step with Jesus.
It was only two years ago that God infiltrated my heart and laid the foundations to pick up portraiture art and I could not understand why at that time but I decided to walk in obedience. He used this to establish connections and to feed into the other talent of writing that He had purposed me for. Except, for God the story was not enough. He had laid good soil and there was in fact a greater mission established in the heavens long before I knew – A biblically inspired devotional for Him, you and I which chronicles how this journey will pierce us both like a double-edge sword, dividing our soul and renewing our minds away from our former selves to a new place of rest with God. I am so chuffed that by His Grace at the end of this I will not remain the same! Aren’t you?
It’s been quite a year, I have seen loss, I have seen promotion I have seen confusion in the world. And still, I feel so grateful to reach this new age because it quite simply means that God is not finished with us yet. I am just so excited to share what God has been revealing to me in ministry, in my job, in drawings and in the stories he has planted in my heart. I look forward to meeting new brothers and sisters who will come to me with transparency,with the fullness of His love, refine us both and make fruitful covenant friendships.
Blessings and Love
Chi xx
