I found true spiritual enlightenment in the Kingdom

-

The concept of spiritual enlightenment has become synonymous with self-realization and the ability to perceive the false self and the layers of social conditioning that obscure the authentic self.This concept of spiritual enlightenment was more appealing to me than the Bible teachings from my denominational church, because I could immediately apply it to my life, in contrast to the teachings from the church.

Even after exploring this concept of spiritual enlightenment by reading various books and viewing videos of popular gurus who claimed to be enlightened, I did not reach a stage of self-realization. In fact, I felt like I was not making any progress because I was not becoming spiritually enlightened. I was more confused about my authentic self than when I began this journey.

It was only after I accepted the invitation into the Kingdom of God that I felt like I was moving toward my authentic self. I did not know it at the time, but I now realize that the invitation into the Kingdom of God is an invitation to spiritual enlightenment that comes as a consequence of following the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

Kingdom enlightenment

Accepting the invitation into the Kingdom of God has enlightened my understanding of the Creator, revealing the wealth of the glorious spiritual inheritance that comes with accepting His invitation. This enlightenment revealed to me the immeasurable greatness of the Creator's power, which, by faith, works through me to make my life on earth a manifestation of this power.

The spiritual enlightenment from the Kingdom of God is the hidden spiritual treasure that I will spend the rest of my life discovering. It is the spiritual wisdom that reveals the spiritual endless riches that come with true knowledge of the Creator. This kind of enlightenment is not new; it has always been in the world since the beginning of time, yet I have been unaware of it.

To experience self-realization and to perceive the layers of social conditioning that obscure my authentic self, I will hold on to this brilliant dawn of the knowledge of the Creator by keeping my focus on Jesus Christ, despite the difficult circumstances of life.

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...
