I dont desire self confidence as a superpower

-

Self-confidence is defined as the acceptance and trust of oneself, as well as a sense of control over one's life. It is often said to be a superpower because once one begins to believe in themselves, magic happens. I have looked up to people who have displayed this attribute clearly in their lives, and it is an attribute that I have aspired to have and tried to instill in my children.

However, I have come to believe that self-confidence is not the answer. It requires that I trust in my own abilities while ignoring the realities of the spiritual realm. It forces me to only focus on my reality in the physical realm, this will hinder my journey of life in the Kingdom of God.

Selflessness, on the other hand, is defined as considering both the physical and spiritual well-being of others ahead of my own, even when they do not deserve it. It is a demonstration of underserved mercy, the same mercy that has been shown to me by the Creator. When I consider both the physical and spiritual well-being of others instead of only focusing on my own needs, I allow myself to draw from the Creator's strength because this posture makes me more open to the Creator's guidance and help.

Therefore, I believe that selflessness is the true superpower. It is an attribute with eternal rewards, and I will activate it by submitting fully to the Kingdom of God.

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

LIFE LESSON: The spiritual battle is not about finding a healthy balance.

When I first started my journey of faith in Christ I was excited because of the new way I was seeing God but I could also be tunnel visioned when I am excited about something as a result a lot of well meaning people in my life advised me to find a healthy balance between spirituality and the reality of life I struggled with this concept of balance because I did not understand how to make it work practically. My intention is to go for everything that God has planned for my life, so this concept seemed to mean there are things of God I needed to compromise to find this balance.  It is still a struggle for me to live out this balance but at least now I know that I am struggling with it  because it is not possible to find a happy medium between the spiritual being and the natural being in me. Here is why. Body, Soul and Spirit Humans are made of body, soul and spirit, with the body we perceive the natural realities, with our soul the link between the natural being and the spiritual being w

Life lesson :  Viewing life on earth in light of eternity is crucial to experiencing true life Throughout my life, I have embraced the principle of "family first," rooted in my denominational church upbringing and aligned with African Spirituality. However, this principle clashes with the teachings of the Kingdom of God, which prioritize seeking the Kingdom above all else (Matthew 6:33). When I prioritized family, my focus drifted away from Christ. In contrast, the Kingdom of God emphasizes focusing on Christ as the central figure (1 Corinthians 15:47). This focus leads to daily communion with Christ, providing a perspective that views life through the lens of eternity (2 Corinthians 4:17) and fostering an intimate relationship with Him. This relationship kindles a longing for the unseen and eternal, facilitating a spiritual awakening through Christ (Colossians 3:1). While the family unit is significant and encouraged in the Kingdom of God, prioritizing it above the Kingdom h
