Manifestation is NOT my power to true life

-

The power of manifestation or visualization is real. I heard this a lot from people I looked up to and I was hooked. Manifestation or visualization is a mental technique that involves imagining yourself in a certain situation to help yourself actually get there in real life. Even though I was hooked I struggled with its application to a point I felt inadequate because many people did not struggle with it as much as I did. They seemed to be on the right path to reach their goals through this technique.

I felt inadequate until I learnt that this technique is flawed because it relied on the vision driven by my personal desires whose perspective is limited to one dimension, the natural realm. The Bible recommends that to live a true life of contentment, I need the supernatural vision from the Creator.

Supernatural vision

My life experience in the natural world is influenced in the supernatural dimension so to truly live my life to its full potential I need insight into the supernatural dimension. When I legitimately explore the supernatural in union with Jesus Christ I inherit the Spirit of the Creator which gives me insight into his vision for my life.

I am a created being, knowing the Creator’s vision for my life leads to a life I was created to live. There are many sources of visions clamoring for my attention but only the vision from the Creator will lead me to true life of contentment.

If I consider any other vision outside the Creator I will miss out on living a life of true contentment.The visualization or manifestation technique limits me to what is natural but when I lean on the Creator as the source for my vision I open myself up to a supernatural life of contentment.

LIFE LESSON: Self help is no help

I recently watched a series on Showmax titled - The VOW. It is a documentary that follows the experiences of people deeply involved in the self-improvement group NXIVM, an organization under siege with charges including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy brought against its highest members and founder Keith Ranier.  I previously held very harsh views against people who have fallen victims of cults but after watching this documentary I have learnt not to be quick to judge, because the story of the victims in this documentary could have easily been my story. The people narrating their experiences in this documentary are good people with sober habits. They were looking to find meaning and purpose for their lives, a journey I believe we should all embark on, because when we find our life purpose we are then well positioned to make an impact in our society and communities.I am currently on a journey of self discovery and that is why I can identify with them and watching their s...

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...

The irrelevant is key to the promise.

Life lesson : What is deemed irrelevant has enabled me to comprehensively understand  the promised framework to live a meaningful life on earth. When I first embarked on a personal journey of reading the Bible on my own, I encountered challenges in understanding the Old Testament. I was almost tempted away from this journey by a popular belief that the Old Testament is no longer relevant, but I resisted the temptation despite my initial struggles with comprehension. This resistance enabled me to appreciate that the Old Testament forms a crucial part of God's promised framework for living on earth, which is fully revealed in the New Testament as the Kingdom of God  The Old Testament provides essential details about this revealed framework that is supposed to guide my life on earth as a child of God through religious rituals that point to God's promises and appropriate responses that positions me to inherit all that God has promised. These rituals offer insight into the activiti...
