Prayer activates my divine alignment

-

LIFE LESSON : Prayer serves as a potent tool, crafted to facilitate the harmonization and alignment of my personal aspirations with the divine will.


A friend, having recently prevailed in a legal battle against an adversary, cautioned potential detractors against engaging in conflict with him. He emphasized the efficacy of his prayers against his enemies, suggesting that they fulfill his personal desires. Initially, I shared this perspective, believing prayer's purpose was to satisfy individual aspirations. However, this understanding deviates from the biblical perspective, which emphasizes prayer's purpose is to glorify his name (Matthew 6:9 TPT).


I have been able to reconcile these seemingly contradictory viewpoints when I accepted an invitation into the Kingdom of God, a roadmap to live life on earth so God’s plan can be fulfilled through me. In this roadmap, prayer becomes a posture of surrender that  facilitates intimacy with God leading to a  personal encounter. This posture is necessary because it grants me protection, (Philliians 4:7 TPT) as my character is transformed  to mirror God's to position me to receive his blessings.(John 15:7TPT)


Instead of viewing prayer as a tool to enforce my selfish desires upon God, I now recognize it as a protective weapon. Through prayer, I undergo a process that aligns my desires with God's, allowing His will to be fulfilled on Earth.

I now realize that I have always believed that the solution for this country lies in people whose race, values and principles are similar to mine in other words I believed the solution for this country is in uniformity but the 75 year history of this country contradicts my belief because for at least 45 years this country was ruled by people whose race, values and principles were uniform, that ruling class brought us apartheid which left out the majority of South Africans ,this ruling class was replaced by another ruling class who in majority come from the same race, share same values and principles but 30 years later we now know that this rulin

LIFE LESSON: The unseen is more important than the seen

There is a narrative that states when Christianity was introduced in Africa it was used to rob the inhabitants of their land and the consequences of these actions are the atrocities that have been implemented against African people for generations. I do not know with certainty whether this is factual or not but it was a bitter pill to swallow for me as I was growing up and I also think it is also partly the reason I did not fully commit to my Christian faith earlier on in life. Looking at all the evidence of atrocities in the continent it was fair to conclude that God did not really care about people on the African continent,if he cared he would not have allowed such atrocities to happen in his name. Unseen realm In this narrative the introduction of Christianity on the continent had a negative impact but in the unseen realm where God exists and operates, the introduction of Christianity has brought with it new knowledge about exploring the spiritual realm. Knowledge that did not exist
