Quoting from a popular writer Marianne Williamson who wrote and I quote "Our Deepest Fear Is Not That We Are Inadequate. Our Deepest Fear Is That We Are Powerful Beyond Measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do".
Come to think about it, Who Am I? and Who are you even as you read through this article now? We have read and learned from spiritual texts that we are created in the image and likeness of God the creator and source of all things. We are everything God is without a doubt. Yet we have been told that we fall short in everything and are not worthy in any way to live a triumphant life. We go to spiritual and religious leaders to understand our purpose, they pretend to open the door yet keep the key and ensures that we believe that God cannot open the Windows of Blessing without the spiritual teacher or whatever title we have chosen to give them, just to keep you within their control. The first lie starts with believing that God is outside you. This seems to make religious sense so that you can go and look for God in the temple. Correct? Wrong! for as long as you keep looking for God outside you, you will always fall short. Why? Because God does not come with a feeling, bells! No! actually, He does not even dwell in temples built by human hands. If I go to church and I am told that it is the place where God dwells, I should be worried. If I am created in the likeness of God and God is actually dwelling in the church building, then who am I carrying as me? The devil? I wonder where the spiritual giants of our time are while Coronavirus is having such a good time devastating people's lives.The average Christian is anxious about how to find that Kingdom of God! Why don't we as Jesus and hear what He said in Luke 17:21 Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is within you.” BINGO! Eureka!
Put simply you carry the Kingdom within you where ever you go. Its a matter of awareness and understanding it. Look, nothing happens without your permission. Every human being is a creative being and its a question of what you are creating, positive or negative, good or evil, the choice is yours. Anybody can tell you about your past, your failures, and successes. So what? like they say S**t happens in life.
This brings us to the question of the location of heaven. Where is Heaven? is it Up or down, East, West, or where? When I see most people in an attitude of prayer, I see them lifting their hands to the so-called Up direction. The question is, which way is Up? consider the guy at the North and South Poles of the globe, which direction is their true Up? I know, someone reading this right now is saying even the Bible says lift your hands to the Lord. Well, do we really know what that even means? Do we merely look up to the sky as the symbolism of where the Almighty God is supposedly seated on the throne of Glory as told to us by religious teachers without asking the deeper questions why!
It all comes down to the Fundamental truth that if one does not know the direction and location of their desired Treasure, it's worthless even to embark on the journey because they will never arrive and are literally lost in the maze of life. If one does not know where the Kingdom of God lies, they will never unleash the power of the Kingdom to change their lives. They will spend all their lives chasing after prophets and seers, going through deliverance from deliverance with no solution in sight. Consider this, right now the fact that you are able to read this article is proof that your computer is configured to access the Internet streams around in your area from within the computer. Therefore, without the Internet configuration, your computer will never receive any Internet data. You can pray, take the computer to the mountain, fast, pour anointed water on the computer, the computer will never have an Internet connection until the Internet configuration happens. Are you catching the drift here?
If you want to be a good football player, train your legs to kick and maneuver with a Ball. If you want to be a good singer, train your voice, it's that simple. It is not fair to tell someone that I see wealth coming your way without helping their minds, hands, and the required character and skills to handle, keep, and grow the wealth. In my opinion, Prayer helps to keep the connection to the Divine while Thinking helps you to develop Ideas even Million Dollar Ideas. It's dangerous to replace Thinking with Prayer. Set aside time for prayer and set aside time for thinking also. above all commit to learning new things to help you in your thinking.
You can be endowed with Wealth around, but you can also be the poorest amongst all at the same time. The continent of Africa has all the mineral and oil wealth, yet it is still struggling with high poverty levels. Like they say, dying of thirst whilst in a freshwater lake. Africa needs "outside and away from the BOX" Thinkers. How can you solve Africa's economic problems when you are actually schooled in the economics of scarcity with a Ph.D. qualification probably. All you see is scarcity and probably you always believe that a loan of some kind might do the trick to get an economy out of problems. Well, the story of debt is an open secret for all to see. Why not develop a new economic paradigm for Africa. Instead of looking at what Africa lacks or what is scarce, let's look at what Africa has in abundance that is being underutilized. We may just realize that whatever Africa seems not to have, exists in another form that we may have not paid attention to. Sometimes the solution to a complex problem might just be as simple as a + b, who knows...
Just think about it. Whatever is happening in our lives is within our control and God is counting on us to awaken from the slumber and be the "more than conquerer that we are meant to be".
