Truth Memoirs

Recently I needed to get to a meeting in Woodmead. I used the Gautrain and to get to the venue I had to get on the Gautrain Mini bus. After the meeting as I was walking back to the bus stop to catch the bus back to the station I realized that I did not have my cellphone with me. I tried to remember when was the last time I had used it, I remembered that I last used it before I boarded the bus. So I was hoping I lost it in the bus and the driver picked it up and gave it back to the lost and found offices at the Gautrain station, but I first went back to my meeting venue to ensure I did not leave it there but I did not find it when I got there. So I walked back to the bus stop and the bus came through. It turns out it was the same bus I used when I went to my meeting. When I told the driver about my story he told me he found my phone and he had not yet given it to the lost and found offices, he then gave it back to me because he remembered me. I was very relieved and I thanked him. As we...

I have read quite a few self-help books and followed a few popular self-help gurus in my journey to find meaning and purpose. One common message that is communicated through these self-help books and gurus is that we must dig within ourselves to find the power to succeed because the power is in us. This journey circled me back to Christianity but this time I let Christianity describe itself through the Bible, through this understanding I found out that in fact Christianity if practiced as prescribed by the Bible offers something much more superior than the self-help books and the gurus.  Biblical definition of success The first thing I learnt is that the Biblical definition of success is much more than just material wealth and it is not about us as individuals it is a lot bigger. It seeks to satisfy our inner being, it is designed to make us whole so we can be successful in all areas of our lives, not just materially.  This kind of success positions us to be who God has create...

My understanding of freedom has always been limited to 2 definitions  1) the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants 2) the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved. Recently I came across a 3rd definition which appeals more to me than the first two definitions. Here freedom is defined as seeing the world as God sees it.It took a while for this definition to sink in with me, but the more I thought about it and allowed it to sink in, the more I realised this is the best the best definition of freedom. The seen dimension is the shadow of the unseen dimension As human beings we exist in 2 dimensions the seen dimension (physical) and the unseen dimension (spiritual). The seen dimension is the shadow of the unseen dimension, which means what we see in the physical dimension is a shadow of what is really happening in the spiritual dimension. The seen dimension is created from the unseen dimension so it goes without saying that to understand the seen dimension we need access ...
