My spiritual blindness is an obstacle to truth

-

When I first began my walk of faith in the Kingdom of God, I was instructed to read my Bible daily. I assumed this was simply so I could learn the stories and be able to quote Bible verses, but the true reason was because I am spiritually blind.


Spiritual blindness is the inability to understand spiritual things. When it is not acknowledged, it leads to unbelief. It is a human default setting that made my pursuit of knowing Jesus intimately fruitless. It caused me to surrender to impurities and kept me blind to the mysteries of faith. Spiritual blindness kept me delusional about the realities of life and hindered my ability to fully satisfy God. It made me cling to the distractions of this world.


The invitation into the Kingdom of God is an invitation to acknowledge spiritual blindness by salvation through Jesus Christ. When I accepted this invitation, his power was activated to permanently remove spiritual blindness, enabling me to overcome evil. The unveiling of my spiritual blindness is not a one-time event. It is an ongoing process that will last my entire life. It is enhanced when I consistently read the Bible.


I used to read the Bible for its stories and to improve my ability to recite Bible verses. Now, I read it regularly to gain insight into the truth that is hidden from me due to my spiritual blindness.

LIFE LESSON: Prioritizing self preservation is not the will of God for us

-

I used the phrase “Every man for himself and God for us all” to justify prioritizing my own desires over everybody else. This seems right, after all society tells us we are the most important person in our lives and self preservation should take priority over others. If self preservation ahead of everyone else was the will of God then on the day of our salvation God would have erupted us to heaven, but that did not happen. This is because God still has a reason to keep us here.  WHY WE WERE NOT ERUPTED ON THE DAY OF SALVATION The resurrection of Jesus Christ is an indication that the enemy of God has been defeated. This is the reality God wants to bring to the world through those who have accepted his invite for salvation. God’s plan is to bring this spiritual reality to the natural world using his children so that through them he can showcase his love and power and make an impact in the world so that many more could accept his invitation for salvation. MAKING AN IMPACT IN THE...

LIFE LESSON: Religion enables false teachings

We have all heard or seen people being abused in the name of God. People have been made to drink petrol or eat snakes or in some instances they have been robbed of their hard earned money all in the name of God. Why would God allow this to happen is a question I have asked myself but never took it further and in fact I chose to put it off my mind. So when it was posed directly to me “ Why does God allow our people to be abused in his name” I realized that I can no longer put it off. I need to find answers to this question. I then did my introspection through what I have learned so far on my journey and here is what I have learned. THE BIBLE The Bible is an instrument through which God reveals himself, what he wants to do and how he wants to do it. He first introduces himself to us through the Old Testament where he reveals who he is (The Father) .In the New Testament he reveals what he wants to do (Jesus Christ) and he also reveals how he wants to achieve what he wants to do ( Holy ...

TESTIMONY : Dont pray hard, pray consistently

Recently while searching for accommodation I went through 3 deals which all fell through at the last minute. After the 3rd deal fell through a friend asked me whether I have been praying and I said yes, and she advised me to pray harder. Pray hard is a phrase we commonly use, I have used this phrase or thought of it because of the belief that the harder I pray the more likely that God will fulfill my expectations. This belief is based on the assumption that God exists to fulfill my plans but in truth I exist to fulfill God’s plan on the earth. A plan that is meant to impact the lives of others and benefit me. No is also an answer  On the 4th attempt to find accommodation a deal was finally sealed. It is not in the location I would have personally chosen but a deal was finalized nevertheless When the other 3 deals fell through I really thought God was not hearing me or he had deserted me and truth be told I felt guilty because I thought I did not pray hard enough. Even though I...
