LIFE LESSON: True identity is revealed when my heritage is grounded in the Creator

Proponents of African spirituality contend that Christianity is not inherently African because it was not the original belief system of Africans. Initially, this argument made me feel less connected to my African identity, even though I respect and value my heritage. However, I have since come to understand that the Bible validates my African identity while also teaching that in order to effectively navigate life according to God's plan, I must prioritize my identity in the Kingdom of God over my African identity.

The Kingdom of God serves as a framework for navigating life on earth, aligning my life with God's purpose, and preparing me to receive all that He has planned for me. This can only happen when I experience spiritual awakening, as described in John 3:5 TPT, which lays the groundwork for spiritual growth and activates my full potential.

Embracing the Kingdom of God makes me acceptable to God, as mentioned in Luke 22:18 TPT. This is significant because it allows me to develop spiritual discernment through spiritual growth. This enables me to shift my focus from my physical identity to my spiritual identity, a transformation that is essential for applying the Kingdom of God as a framework for living on earth, as highlighted in Luke 18:24 TPT

Although I am proud of my African heritage I embrace the Kingdom of God to ground my African heritage in my Creator to become the person I was created to be.

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 po

My belief is only a first step to destiny

I grew up in Soshanguve, a township north of Tshwane. When I was in primary school there was a rumor in the neighborhood about a family that was allegedly practicing witchcraft. A very good friend of mine whose mother was a traditional healer would always tell us about the activities of this family to warn us against them. Everytime my friend would tell these stories to warn us I would respond by telling him witchcraft only affects people like him who believe, but it would not have an impact on me because I come from a church going family who believed in the existence of God. This became the foundation of my application of the gospel which I carried into my adulthood, but I was way off the mark. Belief in God and regular church attendance is not God’s (of the Bible) ultimate plan for my life; it is just a first step in the right direction towards the God's ultimate plan for my life. Warrior of God God (of the Bible) created the spiritual realm that is ruled by Jesus Christ (the Kin
