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 hinders my pursuit of destiny and true identity. As a result, my guiding principle has evolved from "family comes first" to "family's alignment with the Kingdom of God comes first." This shift enables me to focus on influencing my family's pursuit of the Kingdom, ultimately leading them to fulfill their purpose and discover their true identity.

Embracing the Kingdom of God's directive has transformed my perspective, allowing me to prioritize my relationship with Christ and align my family's priorities with His Kingdom. This shift has brought a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment to my life, as I strive to influence my family and others to embrace the same Kingdom-centered worldview.

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

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

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
