The unseen propels innovation and logic

-

A meme about a Chinese man and an American man using logic to find a way to cross between 2 hills and an African kneeling down to pray instead and he still fails to find a way,  paints a picture that seems to suggest that the continent of Africa is not developing at the same rate as the other continents because Africans seem to rely more on prayer instead of innovative thinking and logic. 

Prior to commencing my spiritual journey, I would have concurred with this notion. However, my faith exploration has revealed numerous flaws in this portrayal.

Reliance on prayer is a belief only prevalent in Africa

The meme mistakenly suggests that relying on prayer is exclusively an African phenomenon. Contrary to this misconception, it is a global recognition of a higher power influencing the tangible realm. In Western nations, this recognition is evident in the growing popularity of New Age beliefs, which often draw inspiration from Eastern religious traditions. In some instances, New Age beliefs even incorporate African spiritual concepts.

Prayer alone is not sufficient

The meme wrongly depicts the African's lack of a solution as evidence that prayer is ineffective. The Kingdom of God, as outlined in the Bible, offers a framework for believers to access the unseen realm. By fully adhering to this framework, an internal transformation can be achieved resulting in a supernatural existence within the natural world. However, people often seek shortcuts by selecting only the convenient aspects of the framework, such as prayer, while disregarding other essential requirements, thereby diminishing its effectiveness. 

No is also an answer

The image created by the meme implies that the African does not receive the desired outcome through prayer to provide evidence that God or the spiritual realm does not exist. However, this notion is inaccurate. According to the Bible, God's plan supersedes all else , and prayers from individuals fully aligned with the Kingdom of God are answered accordingly. There are three possible responses to prayers from fully compliant individuals: YES, NO, or NOT NOW. In the case of the African in the meme, the answer was either NO, indicating that their plan was not in accordance with God's plan for their life, or NOT NOW, suggesting that the timing was not appropriate.

The meme portrays an inaccurate image of Africans and their spiritual beliefs.Contrary to the meme's representation,the fact that the African continent falls short of the achievements of other continents it is not because of their beliefs in God of the Bible because when logic and innovative thinking are applied within a Godly context, they are enhanced by supernatural forces from the unseen realm.

Imbalance is the way to true destiny

LIFE LESSON: The journey to true destiny begins when the balancing scales of life tip too heavily towards the intangible realm of spirituality, rather than the tangible and practical aspects of life. When I started my journey of faith, some in my social circles accused me of being too spiritual, urging me to seek a balance between spirituality and worldly concerns. This view persisted even when I sought guidance from experienced fellow travelers on my faith journey, leaving me discouraged and questioning my path.Despite all my efforts I found balancing the spiritual and natural realms inherently incompatible. However, I later discovered a profound truth that shifted my perspective. Rather than being an obstacle, being excessively spiritual is precisely the imbalance required for alignment with the God of the Bible. Pursuing a balance between my natural and spiritual realities hinders my progress toward God's plans. True closeness to God demands the replacement of selfish desires ro

Personal desire can be an obstacle to my destiny.

LIFE LESSON: Prayer is not a means to satisfy my personal desires; rather, it is to align with divine providence. In a recent discussion with a friend who attends a denominational church, he expressed that God fulfills all his prayers. Upon further exploration, it became apparent that he perceived God as a granter of his desires. This perspective contrasts with my experience in the Kingdom of God, where my prayers are also answered, but the responses are YES, NO or NOT NOW.. My prayers are not always met with a "YES." The Creator comprehends that my human desires alone, without his divine guidance, will never lead me to true fulfillment (Proverbs 27:20) . God prioritizes intimacy with me but some of my desires, unbeknownst to me, could hinder that intimate relationship (Luke 17:22) . I was invited into the Kingdom of God to become a vessel through which His plans on earth are realized. However, living solely for human desires prevents me from being who he has created me to be

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 was feel
