My harmless desires are not a guide to what is right

If it does not hurt anyone it cannot be a sin, this statement was the foundation of my application on determining whether my desires were sinful or not. I used this as the basis of my argument a few years ago when a well known homosexual celebrity walked out of a church service because the pastor was preaching against homosexuality. This celebrity posted about his reactions on social media out of disgust.  I got into a heated debate with a friend when the post  trended on social media. I defended the celebrity and my argument was that it is unfair to rule homosexuality as sin because this desire does not cause harm to anyone. My friend on the other hand was adamant that it is a sin because the Bible says so. We ended up agreeing to disagree. A few years later after I had started my journey to explore the spiritual realm through the Kingdom of God, I had to call my friend with the tail between my legs conceding that he was right and I was wrong. I was wrong in believing that determining

My superpower comes from committing fully to one source

The reason why God (of the Bible) insists on sole commitment to himself is because he is insecure and can't stand any competition, this narrative is popular with atheists in my circles. It is a narrative that I could not counter and I was somehow pursued by it. The narrative almost derailed me because I lacked an understanding of my true identity Representative of the most high The invitation into the spiritual realm domain that is ruled by Jesus Christ (Kingdom of God) comes with power, because on acceptance the hand to hand battle is no longer with flesh and blood it is with spiritual beings that are more powerful than human beings and are hostile to the plan of God on the earth.This power is therefore given to ensure that the plan of God on the earth is realised. This power puts those who accept the invitation on an equal footing with the spiritual beings that are hostile to the plan of God but it is only activated when they fully commit and rely on God.  When I accepted the inv

My belief is only a first step to destiny

I grew up in Soshanguve, a township north of Tshwane. When I was in primary school there was a rumor in the neighborhood about a family that was allegedly practicing witchcraft. A very good friend of mine whose mother was a traditional healer would always tell us about the activities of this family to warn us against them. Everytime my friend would tell these stories to warn us I would respond by telling him witchcraft only affects people like him who believe, but it would not have an impact on me because I come from a church going family who believed in the existence of God. This became the foundation of my application of the gospel which I carried into my adulthood, but I was way off the mark. Belief in God and regular church attendance is not God’s (of the Bible) ultimate plan for my life; it is just a first step in the right direction towards the God's ultimate plan for my life. Warrior of God God (of the Bible) created the spiritual realm that is ruled by Jesus Christ (the Kin

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
