LIFE LESSON : It is a book that gives insight to true identity

-

There is a line of thought that says the Bible is only relevant to Jewish people because it is a book about their history. The proponents of this line of thought also question its accuracy and authority.

There was a time in my life when I embraced this line of thinking but it was just an excuse for me to not read the Bible. It felt like a logical excuse because the people behind this line of thinking have a great deal of worldly experience and knowledge of culture and in some instances they are former Bible scholars.

When I decided to use the Bible as my playbook for my journey to true identity, I realized that seeing the Bible as a history book of natural people in a natural world is missing the point.The Bible is a book whose tentacles extend beyond the natural realm, it extends beyond what is visible with a naked eye.

Insight into spiritual

Life experience in the natural world is a shadow of the true life experience that exists in the spiritual realm. To be who I was created to be I need access and insight into the spiritual realm because that is where my Creator exists.

When I accepted Jesus Christ as the Lord and Saviour of my life, I was granted legitimate access into the spiritual realm but access does not give me sight into it, the spiritual realm is still invisible to my natural senses.To gain insight into the spiritual I need to know the true character of the Creator and he reveals himself through the Bible.

The revelation of the Creator’s true character through the Bible leads to the knowledge of my true identity because I am created in his image. When I engage with the Bible I also learn to interpret this life through the spiritual realm. The spiritual realm is the Creator’s perspective so the Bible enables me to interpret this life from the Creator’s point of view.

The Bible to me is not a Jewish history book, it is an authoritative book that guides me into the spiritual realm. I read it to gain daily spiritual insights about my journey to true identity.

Prayer activates my divine alignment

LIFE LESSON : Prayer serves as a potent tool, crafted to facilitate the harmonization and alignment of my personal aspirations with the divine will. A friend, having recently prevailed in a legal battle against an adversary, cautioned potential detractors against engaging in conflict with him. He emphasized the efficacy of his prayers against his enemies, suggesting that they fulfill his personal desires. Initially, I shared this perspective, believing prayer's purpose was to satisfy individual aspirations. However, this understanding deviates from the biblical perspective, which emphasizes prayer's purpose is to glorify his name (Matthew 6:9 TPT) . I have been able to reconcile these seemingly contradictory viewpoints when I accepted an invitation into the Kingdom of God, a roadmap to live life on earth so God’s plan can be fulfilled through me. In this roadmap, prayer becomes a posture of surrender that  facilitates intimacy with God leading to a  personal encounter. This po

I am a SHEEP who needs a SHEPHERD

When I got frustrated by the failure of my denominational church teachings to provide me with real life solutions to real life problems, I aligned myself with a New Age slogan “Hail to thyself for I am my own master, I am my own God I need no shepherd for I am not a sheep ”. The slogan appealed to me because there was no obvious link between what I was being taught at my denominational church and my daily life experience.This led me to conclude that the God I am searching for on the outside must reside within me, meaning I am my own god. As it turns out this belief is the misappropriation of the Biblical truth.  Defense against false gods In the spiritual realm there are spiritual beings who parade themselves as the true God, these false gods have supernatural powers that are above that of natural beings. Their mission is to deceive human beings away from the agenda of the true God. I am by default aligned to these false gods and to defend myself against their mission I have to opt int

LIFE LESSON: To prove the invisible exists, live like it exists

A few years ago a friend made this comment, “It would be so much easier to convince others God exists if he was visible”. He was saying this out of frustration because he could not convince his colleagues in an argument that God exists, because they said they would only believe it if they see him with a naked eye. When this statement was made I was still new in my faith and it bothered me because I would also be stumped if someone would ask me to prove the existence of God, I could point to created things but I knew it would not be enough. I had not thought about this in a while and when I revisited it recently I realized I still did not have a convincing response to a skeptic who would only be convinced of the existence of God when they see him in the flesh. This time I was not going to let it go, so I decided to dig a little bit deeper to find the right argument. We are made in the image of God God is a spiritual being which means he exists in a dimension superior to the natural dime
